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)
w
ith 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 t
ank
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.

Range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after d
etection
of
a
fault with the SCR emissions
c
ontrol
system,
when the ignition is switched
o
n,
an
indicator
displays an estimate of the
d
istance
that
can
be covered, the range, before
e
ngine
starting
is
prevented.
In
the
event
of
simultaneous system fault and
l
ow
AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is t
he
one
displayed. Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When
the ignition is switched on, no
i
nformation on range is displayed automatically
i
n the instrument panel.
The
engine start prevention system
r
equired by regulations is activated
a
utomatically once the AdBlue
® tank is e
m pt y.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)
When switching on the ignition, the U REA warning lamp comes on, accompanied
b
y an audible signal and the display of a
m
essage (e.g.: "Top up emissions additive:
S
tarting prevented in 900 miles") indicating
t
he remaining range expressed in miles or
k
ilometres.
When
driving, the message is displayed every
2
00 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has
be
en
t
opped-up.
Go
to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop to have the AdBlue
® tank topped-up.
Y
ou
can
also
top-up
the
tank
yourself.
For

on
topping-up the

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".
