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 u
rea,
a
catalytic
converter
turns
up to 85%
o
f
nitrous
oxides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen and
w
ater,
which
are
harmless
to
health and the
e
nvironment. 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. Once
the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
required
by regulations
p
revents
starting
of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your vehicle will no
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: you
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
running
distance of 650 miles
(
1 100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.

Range indicators
When switching on the ignition, an indicator gives an estimate of the distance that can
b
e travelled with your vehicle before engine
s
tarting is automatically prevented, once the
v
ehicle starts using the reserve of AdBlue
® or
after
a
fault
is
detected
with
the
SCR
system.
In
the
event
of
simultaneous
system
fault
and
l
ow
AdBlue
® level, the shortest range is the one d
isplayed. Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When
the ignition is switched on,
n
o information on range is displayed a
utomatically in the instrument panel.
With the type 2 instrument panel, pressing this
b
utton displays the driving range temporarily.
Above
3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
s
pecified.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
The engine start prevention system required by regulations is activated
a
utomatically once the AdBlue
® tank is e
m pt y.

When

Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation i
ncluded
in
every
routine service on your
v
ehicle
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.Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets t
he ISO 22241
standard.
The
AdBlue® additive is an urea-based s
olution.
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 en irritant
e
ffect
on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
t
hroat). The
supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
t
oping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a
U
S gallon) bottles from a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Never
dilute the additive with water.
Never
pour the additive into the Diesel
f
uel tank.
Never
top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser
reserved
for
heavy
goods
v
ehicles.
Keep
AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
in
its
original bottle.
Never
transfer AdBlue
® to another
container:
it
would
loose its purity.

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and d
eteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
t
hat
bottles be stored in a cool area and
p
rotected from direct sunlight.
Under
these conditions, the additive can be
k
ept
for
at least a year.
If
the
additive has frozen, can be used once it
h
as
completely thawed out.
Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level sur face.
In
wintry conditions, ensure that the
t
emperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
O
ther wise, by freezing, the AdBlue
® cannot
be
poured
into
its
tank.
Park
your
vehicle in a
w
armer
area
for
a
few
hours
to

t
o
be

out.
