1st level of alert
There   is   an   audible   signal   when   the   ignition   is   switched   on.
The
  warnings   are   intermittent   and   then   become   permanent
 when

  switching   on   the   ignition   or   when   driving.
The
  remaining   driving   range   is   counted   down   from   1   500   miles
 (2

  400   km)   to   375   miles   (600   km).
The
  range   figure   reduces   in   steps   of   200   miles   (300   km).
The contents of the additive tank has dropped to a level  sufficient   for   a   range   of   less   than   1   500   miles  
(2

  400   km).
Have
  the   tank   topped-up   using   an  
AdBlue®
container
 
or
 
bottles.
2

BLUEHDI
AND A D B LUE
® ADDITIVE
The technology
adBlue® is the brand name of the solution needed for operation of the
SCR
 
system. BlueHDI
  vehicles   have   a   specific  
a dBlue
® additive tank with a capacity
of 17 litres .
It
 
has
 
an   exterior   filler   with   a   blue filler
cap, located to the left of the
d iesel
fuel
 
filler   cap.
Filling of the
a

dBlue
® tank can be done using 5 or 10 litre containers,
1.89
 
litre
 
bottles,
 
or
 
when   at   a   fuel  
fillin

g
 
station
 
equipped   with   a   special  
a
dBlue
® delivery pump for light vehicles.
The
 
objective
 
of
 
BlueHDi
 
is
 
to
 
reduce
 
by

 
up
 
to
 
90%
 
the
 
emissions
 
of
 
NOx
 
(nitrous oxides) in the air

, using a
system
 
that
 
converts
 
NOx
 
into
 
water
 
vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic

 
converter:
 
SCR
 
(Selective
 
Catalytic

 
Reduction).
This
 
objective
 
meets
 
the
 
"Euro"
 
emissions

 
standard
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
European

 
Union
 
aimed
 
at
 
limiting
 
the
 
emissions

 
of
 
pollutants
 
from
 
internal
 
combustion

 
engines.
The BlueH
d
i generation of engines
allow
 
the
 
"Euro
 
6"
 
European
 
standard
 
to

 
be
 
met,
 
with
 
an
 
extra
 
tank
 
to
 
hold
 
the

a
dBlue
® fluid for the treatment of exhaust
 
gases.
This operation can also be carried
out by a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.
Please note that the high delivery
pumps
  at   some   filling   stations,  
intended only for lorries and coaches,
are not suitable for cars or light
commercial

  vehicles.
Never
  use   these   pumps.

Good practice
While the quantity of
a
dBlue® in
the
 
additive
 
tank
 
is
 
sufficient,
 
no
 
information

 
is
 
displayed.
o

n the other hand, once the additive
level drops to the quantity needed
for
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
1
 
500
 
miles
 
(2
 
400
 
km)  
driving, you are warned by dif

ferent
temporary
 
signals
 
(warning
 
lamp,
 
message,

 
audible
 
signal).
As
 
more
 
miles
 
are
 
covered,
 
these
 
signals

 
intensify
 
and
 
the
 
message  
becomes

 
permanent.
When the
a
dBlue
® tank is empty, restarting
 
becomes   impossible.
It
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended   that   you  
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the a

dBlue
® tank, but
 
do
 
this
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
possible.
Filling the additive tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre
containers
 
and
 
1.89
 
litre
 
(1/2
 
US
 
gallon)

 
bottles
 
are
 
available
 
from
 
CITR

o
Ë
n
dealers, until they are
equipped with
a
dBlue
® delivery pumps.
If
 
you
 
want
 
to
 
fill
 
the
 
AdBlue® tank yourself, ensure that you have a
suitable
 
filler
 
pipe,
 
which
 
may   or   may  
not be supplied with the additive
container

.

Fault with the SCR system
The UREa, Service and diagnostic

Every
  time   the   ignition   is   switched   on,  
the

  emissions   fault   is   confirmed   by   an

disappears as soon as the exhaust
emissions

  return   to   the   levels   required  
by

  the   standard. Fault confirmed
In addition to the previous signals,
the

warning   lamp   flashes   and  
the

displayed

  in   miles   (kilometres).
The alert will be repeated every

Refilling / Topping-up the
AdBlue® additive
Precautions to take
Use only a dBlue® additive that meets the
 
ISO
 
22241
 
standard.
The
a
dBlue
® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This
 
liquid

 
is

 
non-flammable,
 
colourless
 
and

 
odourless.
To
 
be
 
kept
 
in   a   cool   area.
Containers (5 or 10 litres) and
bottles (1.89 litres) of AdBlue
®
Please check the use-by date.
Read   the   instructions   on   the   label.
Ensure that you have a suitable
filler
  pipe,   which   may   or   may   not   be  
supplied

  with   the   container.
Filling
In the event of an overflow, wipe around  the   filler   mouth   using   a  
damp

  cloth.
If any
a dBlue
® fluid is split or splashed on
 
to
 
you,
 
wash   immediately   with   cold  
water or wipe yourself with a clean
damp

 
cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off
 
using
 
a
 
sponge   and   hot   water.
Ensure
  that   the   vehicle   is   parked   on   a  
flat

  and   level   surface.
Pour
  the   contents   of   the   container   /  
bottle

  into   the   dedicated   tank.
After
  filling   the   additive   tank,   observe  
the

  following   procedure:
-

Switch on the ignition without
starting.
-


W
ait 10 seconds before starting the
engine.
Never
  dispose   of   empty  
AdBlue®
containers and bottles in the
household
 
waste.
Place
 
them
 
in
 
a
 
special
 
container
 
provided

purpose
 
or
 
take
 
them
 
to  
your

 
dealer.

keep adBlue® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   container.
n

ever transfer
a
dBlue
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
loose   its   purity.
Never
 
dilute
 
the
 
additive   with   water.
n

ever pour the additive into the d iesel
fuel
 
tank.
Recommendations on storage
never store containers or bottles of a dBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
a

dBlue® freezes at about -11°C (12.2°F)
  and   deteriorates   above   25°C.
It
 
is
 
recommended   that   containers   and  
bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected

  from   direct   sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive
can
 
be
 
kept   for   at   least   a   year.
a

dditive that has been frozen can be
used
 
once   it   has   thawed   out   in   ambient  
air

. The
  SCR   system   includes   an  
a dBlue
® tank heater that ensures operation
  of   the   vehicle   in   normal  
conditions.
In exceptional situations, such as when
the

 
vehicle
 
is   kept   at   temperatures  
below

 
-15°C
  (5°F)   for   a   long   period,   an  
emission

 
fault   alert   may   be   related   to  
freezing of the a

dBlue
® additive.
Park
 
the
 
vehicle
 
in
 
an
 
area   at   a   more  
moderate

 
temperature
 
for   a   few   hours  
until

 
the
 
additive
 
becomes   a   liquid  
again.
The

 
emissions
 
warning   lamp   does   not  
go

 
off
 
immediately,
 
but
  does   so   after   a  
few

 
miles
 
of
 
driving.
