MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Urea System

Do not fill the urea tank with any material other than urea. Fill the tank with urea complying with DIN 70070 / ISO 22241-1 standard only. • Do not fill the tank with diesel fuel. • Do not add water to the tank to increase urea level. Quality of the fuel and engine oil used affects Urea system. a-) Sulphur Content in the Fuel Low quality fuel contains high sulfur ratio. Sulphur may cause blockage of catalyst, a component of the urea system. You should use EuroDiesel only in your vehicle. b-) Engine Oil Low quality and/or wrong viscosity oil increases the oil vapor in the exhaust. This may cause blockage of the catalyst.

Catalyst is a non-serviceable component that cannot be cleaned. Exhaust box shall be replaced as a whole when it is blocked. Pay attention to the quality of the urea, fuel and engine oil used and apply all instructions about urea system with care in order to avoid damages with high costs. If the exhaust temperature is consistently low (buses, delivery trucks), efficiency of Urea systemmay be reduced and ammonia may come out. Contact your workshop if you continuously smell ammonia. User shall carry out following precautions to prevent faults and damages in this system. Otherwise any faults occurring should be considered outside of the warranty cover and Ford Otosan will not take any responsibilities!

WARNING Exhaust gas reaches very high

temperatures during regeneration or while operating under high load. “HES” light shall be illuminated on the warning panel of your vehicle in high exhaust gas temperatures. Switching off your vehicle while this light is illuminated may cause damage to urea system components. * Average urea consumption values depend on the test results of the vehicle and the dynamometer. These values may vary for reasons such as vehicle's load condition, environmental factors (ambient temperature, air pressure, relative humidity), engine coolant temperature and urea quality.
