STARTING AND DRIVING 122 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 "Warning lights and messages" paragraph in the "Knowing the instrument panel" chapter), fill the AdBlue ® tank with no more than 9 litres ; 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. Operations after refilling Proceed as follows: fit the cap (B) fig. 151 back on the AdBlue ® filler by turning it clockwise and screwing it completely; set the starter switch to MAR (it is not necessary to start the engine); wait for the indication on the instrument panel to switch off before moving the vehicle. The indication may stay on for a few seconds to approximately half a minute. If the engine is started and the vehicle is moved, the indication will remain on for longer. This will not compromise engine operation; if the AdBlue ® was topped up when the tank was empty, see the "Refuelling " paragraph in the "Technical Specifications" chapter and wait for 2 minutes before starting the engine. WARNING If AdBlue ® is spilled out of the filler neck, clean up well the area and proceed to filling up again. If the liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a sponge and warm water. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LEVEL: this could cause damage to the reservoir. UREA freezes at under -11 ° C. Although the system is designed to operate below the freezing point of the UREA, it is advisable not to fill the tank beyond the maximum level because if the UREA freezes the system can be damaged. Follow the instructions in the "Topping up AdBlue® (UREA) diesel emissions additive" paragraph in this chapter. If the UREA is spilled on painted surfaces or aluminium, immediately clean the area with water and use absorbent material to collect the fluid that has been spilled on the ground. Do not try to start the engine if UREA was accidentally added to the Diesel fuel tank, this can result in serious engine damage, contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not add additives or other fluids to AdBlue®, doing so could damage the system. The use of non-conforming or degraded AdBlue® may lead to indications appearing on the instrument panel display (see "Warning lights and messages" paragraph in the "Knowing the instrument panel" chapter). Never pour AdBlue® into another container: it could be contaminated. In case of damage to the sewage system of exhaust gas resulting from the use of additives / tap water, the introduction of diesel fuel, or at least by not fulfilling the requirements, the warranty expires. If the AdBlue® runs out, see "Warning lights and messages" paragraph in the "Knowing the instrument panel" chapter to continue using the vehicle normally. |
