AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
s
tandard, without adversely affecting the
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
e
ngines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip its vehicles with an effective system that
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with
a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic
converter
turns
up
to
85% of nitrous o
xides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen
and
water, which are
h
armless
to
health
and
the
environment. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
required
by regulations prevents
s
tarting
of
the
engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your vehicle will no
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: your
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
w
ith
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop
as
soon as possible: after a
r
unning
distance
of 650 miles
(1
100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.
The AdBlue® additive is held in a special
tank
located
under the boot at the rear of
t
he
vehicle.
It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
p
rovides
a
driving range of about 12 500 miles
(
20
000
km),
after which an alert is triggered
w
arning
you
when the reserve remaining is
e
nough
for
just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During
each
scheduled service of your vehicle
b
y
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
t
he AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If
the
estimated mileage between two services
i
s
greater
than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
r
ecommend
that you go to a CITROËN dealer
o
r
a
qualified workshop to have the necessary
t
op-up
carried out.

Remaining range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue® additive
To be able to start the engine, we recommend that you call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop for the top-up required.
If you carry out the top-up yourself, it
is
essential to add at least 3.8 litres of
Ad
Blue
® to the tank.

In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
In the event of the detection
of a faultDuring an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
A
system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions
c
ontrol system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
d
isappears during the next journey,
a
fter self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
The
UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
l
amps comes on, accompanied by an audible
s
ignal and the display of the message
"
Emissions
f
ault".
The
alert is triggered when driving when the
f
ault is detected for the first time, then when
s
witching on the ignition for subsequent
j
ourneys, while the fault persists. If
a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after
3
0 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent
d
isplay of the message signalling a fault), the
S
ERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps
c
ome on and the UREA warning lamp flashes,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal and the
d
isplay of a message (e.g.: "Emissions fault:
S
tarting prevented in 150 miles") indicating the
r
emaining range express in miles or kilometres.
While
driving, the message is displayed every
3
0 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
p
ersists.
The
alert is repeated when switching on the
ig
nition.
You
should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart your
engine. Starting prevented
To
be able to start the engine, you must call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You
have exceeded the authorised
d
riving limit: the starting prevention
s
ystem inhibits engine starting.
Every time the ignition is switched on, the SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and t
he UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
a
n audible signal and the display of the message
"
Emissions fault: Starting prevented".

Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures below around -11°C.
The
SCR
system includes a heater
f
or the AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
driving in very cold conditions.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in useFilling the AdBlue® tank is an operation i
ncluded in every routine service on your
vehicle
by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
Nevertheless,
given the capacity of the tank,
i
t
may
be
necessary to top-up the additive
b
etween
services,
more particularly if an alert
(
warning
lamps
and a message) signals the
r
equirement.
You
can
got
to
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
If
you
envisage
topping-up yourself, please
r
ead
the
following
warnings carefully. Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
in
its
original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container:
it
would
lose
its purity. Never
dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
Never top-up from an AdBlue®
dispenser
reserved
for
heavy
goods
v
ehicles.
Use only AdBlue
® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
standard.
The
supply
in
a
non-drip bottle simplifies
t
opping-up.
You
can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US
g
allon)
bottles
from a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
The AdBlue® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable,
c
olourless
and odourless (kept in a cool area).
In
the
event
of contact with the skin, wash
t
he
affected
area with soap and water. In the
e
vent
of
contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate)
t
he
eyes
with large amounts of water or with
a
n
eye
wash
solution for at least 15 minutes.
I
f
a
burning
sensation or irritation persists, get
m
edical
attention.
If
swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
w
ith
clean
water and then drink plenty of water.
In
certain
conditions (high ambient
t
emperature,
for example), the risk of release
o
f
ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale
t
he
product.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant
e
ffect
on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
t
hroat).

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is essential to maintain an adequate state of
c
harge.
In
some circumstances it may be necessary to
c
harge the battery:
-
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-
i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
s
everal weeks.
Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
Never
try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have
it
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop, who will check that
t
he internal components have not been
d
amaged and the casing is not cracked,
w
hich could cause a leak of toxic and
c
orrosive acid.
If
you envisage charging your vehicle's
b
attery yourself, use only a charger
c
ompatible with lead-acid batteries of a
n
ominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to
use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
c
ausing irreversible damage to the
e
lectrical components related to the
S
top & Start system. Follow the instructions for use provided
by
the manufacturer of the charger.
Never
reverse polarities.
