- Don’t overfill the AdBlue® tank.
- You should handle AdBlue® with care. Make sure, it does not spill on your car, your skin, or make contact with your eyes.
- If AdBlue come in contact with your eyes and skin, it can irritate both of them. So, rinse your eyes/skin with water and soap immediately if they come in contact with AdBlue®. If you are not sure, seek medical help.
- If by any chance AdBlue® spills on your car, wipe it off immediately. Otherwise, it can spoil the car paint.
- If you accidentally inhale AdBlue® vapour, get some fresh air rather than suppressing your breathing process.
It would be better if you wear hand gloves and eye protection glasses while filling AdBlue® into the vehicle.
How to Check AdBlue® Level in Your Car?
It is crucial to check the AdBlue® level in your car to avoid sudden car failure. A diesel-driven car would not run if the AdBlue® tank is empty. Whenever you find the AdBlue® level is low via your driver display, fill the tank before it gets emptied by buying online on www.airnoxblue.co.za.
- AdBlue® consumption quantity by any car is unpredictable while on road as it depends on the driving style.
- Don’t let your AdBlue® tank dry; otherwise, your car will not start no matter how full your fuel tank is.
- You would not be able to switch on your car if the AdBlue® tank gets dry completely. In many scenarios, you may need to tow your car to the nearest garage or call for a mechanic to start the engine again.
So, to save your pocket from unexpected extra maintenance costs, fill the AdBlue® tank of your car timely.
