adblue® additive and SCR system
for
b
lu
eH
di
d
i
esel engines
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance or fuel consumption of
d
i
esel
engines, CITR
oËn
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 adbl ue® containing
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
on
ce the a
dbl
ue
® tank is empty, a
s
ystem 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 CITR
oËn
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.
The
a
dblu
e® 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).
du
ring each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
the
a
d
blu
e
® 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 CITR
oËn
dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the necessary
top-up carried out.

never store bottles of adbl ue® in your
vehicle.
a
d
blu
e
® 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, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Recommendations on storage
before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Other wise, by freezing, the AdBlue
® cannot
be poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a
warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up
to be carried out.
Procedure
F For access to the adbl ue® tank, raise the
boot carpet then, depending on equipment,
lift out the spare wheel and/or the storage
box.

F obtain a bottle of adbl ue®. after first
checking the use-by date, read carefully
the instructions on use on the label before
pouring the contents of the bottle into your
vehicle's
a

blu
e
® tank.
Important : if your vehicle's
a
d
blu
e
® tank is completely empty -
w
hich is confirmed by the alert
messages and the impossibility of
starting the engine, you must add at
least 3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles). If any additive is split or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-
up after a breakdown because of
a lack of additive
, you must wait
around 5 minutes before switching
on the ignition, without opening the
driver's door, locking the vehicle or
introducing the key into the ignition
switch .
Switch on the ignition, then, after
10 seconds, start the engine.
