  • If this fluid contacts the skin, wash skin immediately with plenty of water.
  • If AdBlue® /DEF was ingested, immediately wash mouth with water for at least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Seek medical help immediately.
CAUTION:

Do not allow reducing agent (AdBlue® /DEF) to come into contact with clothing or the vehicle at any time.

Should this happen, wash the reducing agent (AdBlue® /DEF) immediately with plenty of clean water and a lint-free cotton cloth.
