TOPPING UP AdBlue® DIESEL
EMISSIONS ADDITIVE

270)
Preliminary Conditions
AdBlue
®
freezes at temperatures lower
than -11
°
C. If the car stands for a long
time at this temperature refilling could
be difficult. For this reason, it is advised
to park the car in a garage and/or heated
environment and wait for the AdBlue
®
to
return to liquid state before topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on flat ground and stop
the engine by setting the ignition device
in the OFF position;
open the fuel flap fig. 111 and then
unscrew and remove the cap (1) (blue)
from the AdBlue
®
filler.
Refilling with nozzles
The system was designed in compliance
with ISO 22241-5 (nozzle capacity:
10 l/min.). Refilling at stations with
higher flow rates is possible, but the
nozzle could shut off and the amount
introduced into the tank may vary.
Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue
®
nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the
first shut-off (the shut-off indicates that
the AdBlue
®
tank is full). Do not proceed
with the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue
®
;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the AdBlue
®
tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed in
(e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the instrument
panel display (see “Indicator lights and
messages" chapter in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” section), fill the
AdBlue
®
tank with at least 5 liters;
if containers which can be screwed to
the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when the AdBlue
®
level in the container
stops pouring out. Do not proceed
further.
The AdBlue
®
level in the tank can
be displayed in the Main Menu of the
Instrument Panel Display.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap (1) fig. 111 back on the
AdBlue
®
filler by turning it clockwise and
screwing it completely;
turn the ignition device to RUN (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication
