It is illegal to pollute drains, watercourses and

soil. Use authorized waste collection facilities,

including civil amenity sites and garages pro-

viding facilities for disposal of used oil and used

oil filters. If in doubt, contact your local author-

ity for advice on disposal.

CAUTION:

Use only AdBlue®. Using other fluids will

damage the AdBlue® Selective Catalytic

Reduction (SCR) system.

Be careful not to spill AdBlue®. If the

AdBlue® is spilled on the vehicle body,

wipe it away with a wet cloth immedi-

ately to avoid paint damage.

The regulations concerning the pollution of

the environment will vary from country to

country.

NOTE:

In the case that the “ENG can’t start Refill

AdBlue” warning was displayed, check

that the warning turned off, place the

ignition switch in the “OFF” position once

and then start the engine.

AdBlue® can freeze at very low tempera-

tures (−11°C). In extreme cold conditions

system may not be able to detect when

you refill and will continue to display low

AdBlue® level warning. The message and

warning will disappear when tank has

thawed.

AdBlue® residues crystallize after a peri-

od of time and contaminate the paint

surfaces. If the spilled AdBlue® has crys-

tallized, use a sponge and cold water to

clean it.

Be careful not to inhale any ammonia

vapours that may be released. Fill the

AdBlue® tank in well-ventilated areas.

The AdBlue® tank is located underneath the

vehicle. (See “AdBlue® filler lid and cap (if

equipped for diesel engine model)” (P.3-33) for

the AdBlue® filler lid location.)
