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.
