To assure respect for the environment and   conformity   with   the   new   Euro   6  
emissions
  standard,   without   adversely  
af
fecting   the   performance   or   fuel  
consumption
  of   Diesel   engines,  
CITROËN
  has   taken   the   decision   to  
equip
  its   vehicles   with   an   effective  
system
  that   associates   SCR   (Selective  
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle 
filter
  (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of   exhaust  
gases.
Presentation of the Scr system
Using an additive called adBlue® 
containing urea, a catalytic converter 
turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides 
(
no
x) into nitrogen and water, which 
are
 
harmless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment.
The 
a
dBlue
® additive is held in a 
special
 
tank
 
located   under   the   boot  
at
 
the
 
rear
 
of   the   vehicle.   It   has   a  
capacity
 
of
 
17   litres:   this   provides   a  
driving
 
range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(20
 
000 km),   after   which   an   alert  
is triggered warning you when the 
reserve
 
remaining   is   enough   for   just    
1
 
500
 
miles
 
(2   400   km).
d
uring each scheduled service of 
your vehicle by a CITR
o Ë n  dealer 
or
 
a
 
qualified   workshop,   the  
AdBlue® 
additive
 
tank
 
is
 
refilled
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
allow  
normal
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
SCR
 
system.
If
 
the
 
estimated
 
mileage
 
between
 
 
two services is greater than 
12 500 miles
 
(20
 
000
 
km),
 
we
 
recommend
 
that
 
you
 
go
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN  
dealer
 
or
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop
 
to
 
have  
the
 
necessary
 
top-up
 
carried
 
out.
o
 nce  the  a dBlue
® tank is empty, a
 
system
 
required   by   regulations  
prevents
 
starting
 
of   the   engine.
If the SCR
 
is faulty, the level of 
emissions
 
from
 
your
 
vehicle   will   no  
longer
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro
 
6   standard:   you  
vehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
confirmed   fault  
with
 
the
 
SCR
 
system,
 
you   must   go  
to
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or   a   qualified  
workshop
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
possible:   after    
a
 
running
 
distance
 
of
 
650   miles    
(1
 
100
 
km),
 
a
 
system
 
will   be   triggered  
automatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine  
starting.

topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling  the adBlue® tank is an operation included in every routine service on 
your vehicle by a CITR
o Ë n  dealer  
or
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop.
n
evertheless, given the capacity 
of
 
the
 
tank,
 
it
 
may
  be   necessary   to  
top-up the additive between services, 
more
 
particularly
 
if   an   alert   (warning  
lamps
 
and
 
a
 
message)   signals   the  
requirement.
Y
ou can got to a CITR o Ë n  dealer  
or
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, 
please read the following warnings 
carefully. Precautions in use
The 
a dBlue® additive is an urea-based 
solution.
 This   liquid   is   non-flammable,  
colourless
 
and   odourless   (kept   in   a  
cool
 
area).
In
 
the
 
event
 
of   contact   with   the   skin,  
wash the af
fected area with soap and 
water.
 
In
 
the
  event   of   contact   with   the  
eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with 
large
 
amounts   of   water   or   with   an   eye  
wash
 
solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
If a burning sensation or irritation 
persists,
 
get
  medical   attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the  
mouth
 
with
 
clean   water   and   then   drink  
plenty
 
of
 
water.
In
 
certain
 
conditions   (high   ambient  
temperature,
  for   example),   the   risk  
of
 
release
 
of
  ammonia   cannot   be  
excluded:
 
do   not   inhale   the   product.  
Ammonia
 
vapour   has   en   irritant   effect  
on
 
mucous
 
membranes   (eyes,   nose  
and
 
throat).

recommendations on storage
a
dBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
 
deteriorates   above   25°C.   It   is  
recommended
  that   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.
If the additive has frozen, can be used 
once
 
it
 
has   completely   thawed   out.
n
ever store bottles of 
a
 dBlue
® in 
your
 
vehicle. Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the 
vehicle
  is   parked   on   a   flat   and   level  
surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that 
the
  temperature   of   the   vehicle   is  
above -1
1°C.   Otherwise,   by   freezing,  
the 
a dBlue
® cannot be poured into its 
tank.
