The risk
AdBlue liquid injection may fall below adequate levels at extreme low temperatures (-15°C) when tank and fluid temperature are similarly low. Prolonged exposure to low temperatures may cause AdBlue to freeze, preventing the system from heating it quickly enough, which may result in excessive emission levels. This poses a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
