Selective Catalytic Reduction System

WHAT IS THE SELECTIVE

WARNING: The AdBlue® must be

refilled when low or replaced when

contaminated or your vehicle speed

becomes limited to 80 km/h (50 mph).

In these conditions, drive with caution

and immediately refill the AdBlue® tank.

If the AdBlue® tank becomes empty or

the fluid contaminated and it is not

replaced, your vehicle becomes limited

to engine idle only once stopped. In these

conditions, be cautious where you stop

your vehicle because you may not be

able to drive long distances or maintain

highway speeds until you refill or replace

the fluid.

CATALYTIC REDUCTION

SYSTEM

Selective catalytic reduction is an engine

emission control system that reduces

exhaust emission levels by injecting

AdBlue® into the exhaust system.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Keep AdBlue® out of

reach of children. Avoid contact with

skin, eyes or clothing. In case of contact

with your eyes, immediately flush with

water and get prompt medical attention.

In case of contact with your skin,

immediately clean with soap and water.

If you swallow any AdBlue®, drink plenty

of water and immediately seek medical

attention.

Do not dilute the AdBlue® with water or

any other liquid.

Do not put AdBlue® in the vehicle fuel

tank. This can cause engine damage not

covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Do not put fuel or any additives in the

AdBlue® tank. This can cause damage not

covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Do not overfill the AdBlue® tank.

WARNING: Only refill the AdBlue®

tank in a well-ventilated area. When you

remove the AdBlue® tank filler cap or an

AdBlue® container cap, ammonia vapors

may escape. Ammonia vapors can be

irritating to skin, eyes and mucous

membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors

can cause burning to the eyes, throat and

nose and cause coughing and watery

eyes.

Immediately remove any residue on

painted surfaces when filling with

AdBlue®.

SELECTIVE CATALYTIC

REDUCTION SYSTEM

REQUIREMENTS

Only use AdBlue® certified to ISO-22241.

WARNING: Tampering with or

disabling the selective catalytic

reduction system results in severe

vehicle performance limitation including

eventual speed limiting to 8 km/h

(5 mph).

Filling the Selective Catalytic

Reduction System Tank in Cold

Weather

AdBlue® is non-flammable, non-toxic,

colorless and water-soluble.

AdBlue® may freeze when the

temperature is below -11°C (12°F). Your

vehicle has a preheating system which

allows the fluid to operate below -11°C

(12°F). If you overfill the AdBlue® tank and

the fluid freezes, it may cause damage not

covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Note: It may not be possible to fully fill the

AdBlue® tank when the temperature is

below -11°C (12°F).

Note: If the AdBlue® tank is frozen, it could

not correctly display the fluid level or

recognize when you fill the tank. The

AdBlue® level updates when the tank

completely thaws out.

high speed driving, stop-start driving, air

conditioning usage, add-on accessories,

payload and towing. The AdBlue®

consumption may vary between 1% and

6% of the fuel consumption.
