pump, and DCU) operates for
approximately 2 minutes more
to eliminate the remaining urea
solution inside, even after the
ENGINE START/STOP button
is pressed to the OFF position.
Before the maintenance service,
make sure that the urea solution
system is completely turned OFF.
• A urea solution of poor quality
or any unauthorized liquids may
damage the vehicle components,
including the DPF system. Any
unverified additives in the urea
solution may clog the SCR catalyst
and cause other malfunctions,
which require the expensive DPF
system to be replaced.
• When urea solution comes in
contact with the eyes or the skin,
you should thoroughly wash the
contaminated skin area.
• When you swallow urea solution,
thoroughly rinse your mouth and
drink a lot of fresh water. Then,
immediately consult a doctor.
• When your cloth is contaminated
with urea solution, immediately
change your cloth.
• When you have an allergic reaction
to urea solution, immediately
consult a doctor.
• Make sure that urea solution is
kept out of reach from children.
• Wipe off any urea solution spillage
with water or cloth. When urea
solution is crystalized, wipe it off
with a sponge or a cloth, which
was dampened in cold water.
When urea solution spillage is
exposed in air for an extended
period of time, it is crystalized
in white, damaging the vehicle
surface.
• Urea solution is not a fuel additive.
Thus, it should not be injected to
the fuel tank. Otherwise, it may
damage the engine.
• Urea solution is an aqueous
solution, which is inflammable,
nontoxic, colourless and odourless.
• Store the urea solution tank only
in well-ventilated locations. When
urea solution is exposed to the
hot temperature at approximately
50°C for an extended period of
time (i.e. under direct sunlight),
the chemical decomposition may
occur, emitting ammonia vapour.
Storing urea solution (if equipped)
• It is improper to store urea
solution in containers made
of unsuitable materials like
aluminum, copper alloy, non-
alloyed still and galvanized steel.
The urea solution dissolves metal
materials, severely damaging the
exhaust purification system to be
non-repairable.
• Store urea solution only in
containers made of the following
materials.
- DIN EN 10 088-1-/-2-/-3-
specified CR-Ni steel, Mo-Cr-
