ADBLUE® ADDITIVE AND SCR SYSTEM
FOR
B
LUE HD I D IESEL
ENGINES
To assure  respect  for  the  environment  and
 conformity  with  the  new  Euro  6 Â
emissions
Â
standard,
Â
without
Â
adversely
Â
af
fecting Â
the
Â
performance
Â
or
Â
fuel
Â
con
-
sumption
Â
of
Â
Diesel
Â
engines,
Â
CITROËN
Â
has
Â
taken
Â
the
Â
decision
Â
to
Â
equip
Â
its
Â
ve
-
hicles
Â
with
Â
an
Â
ef
fective Â
system
Â
that
Â
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction)
Â
with
Â
a
Â
particle
Â
filter
Â
(F
AP) Â
for
 the  treatment  of  exhaust  gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive  called  AdBlue® con-
taining
 urea,
 a
 catalytic
 converter
 turns Â
up
Â
to
Â
85%
Â
of
Â
nitrous
Â
oxides
Â
(NOx)
Â
into
Â
nitrogen
Â
and
Â
water
,
Â
which
Â
are
Â
harmless
Â
to
Â
health
Â
and
Â
the
Â
environment. The
Â
AdBlue® additive
 is  held  in  a  spe -
cial
 tank
 located  under  the  boot  at  the Â
rear
Â
of
Â
the
Â
vehicle.
Â
It
Â
has
Â
a
Â
capacity
Â
of
Â
17
Â
litres:
Â
this
Â
provides
Â
a
Â
driving
Â
range
Â
of
Â
about
Â
12
Â
500
Â
miles
Â
(20
Â
000
Â
km),
Â
after
Â
which
Â
an
Â
alert
Â
is
Â
triggered
Â
warning
Â
you
Â
when
Â
the
Â
reserve
Â
remaining
Â
is
Â
enough
Â
for
Â
just
Â
1
Â
500  miles  (2  400  km).
During
Â
each
Â
scheduled
Â
service
Â
of
Â
your
Â
vehicle
Â
by
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
Â
dealer
Â
or
Â
a
Â
qual
-
ified
Â
workshop,
Â
the
Â
AdBlue® additive  tank
 is
 refilled
 in
 order
 to
 allow  normal Â
operation
Â
of
Â
the
Â
SCR
Â
system.
If
Â
the
Â
estimated
Â
mileage
Â
between
Â
two
Â
services
Â
is
Â
greater
Â
than
Â
12
Â
500
Â
miles
Â
(20
Â
000
Â
km),
Â
we
Â
recommend
Â
that
Â
you
Â
go
Â
to
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
Â
dealer
Â
or
Â
a
Â
qualified
Â
workshop
Â
to
Â
have
Â
the
Â
necessary
Â
top-up
Â
carried
Â
out. Once
Â
the
Â
AdBlue® tank is
 empty ,  a
 system
 required
 by  regulations Â
prevents
Â
starting
Â
of  the  engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
Â
from
Â
your
Â
vehicle
Â
will
Â
no
Â
longer
Â
meet
Â
the
Â
Euro
Â
6
Â
stan
-
dard:
Â
you
Â
vehicle
Â
becomes
Â
pol
-
luting.
In
Â
the
Â
event
Â
of
Â
a
Â
confirmed
Â
fault
Â
with
Â
the
Â
SCR
Â
system,
Â
you
Â
must
Â
go
Â
to
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
Â
dealer
Â
or
Â
a
Â
qualified
Â
workshop
Â
as

soon
Â
as
Â
possible:

after
Â
a
Â
running
Â
dis
-
tance
Â
of
Â
650
Â
miles
Â
(1Â
100 Â

Â
a

will

Â
to
Â
prevent
Â
engine
Â
starting.
