Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the   interior   temperature   is   very  
h

igh,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
c

ompartment   for   a   few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e

nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the  
p

assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c

ontain chlorine and does not present
any
  danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
In
 
order
 
for
 
these
 
systems
 
to
 
be
 
fully
 
effective,

adblue® additive and SCR system
f
or
 
Blue
  HDi   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)
with
  a   particle   filter   (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of  
e

xhaust   gases.
Presentation of the ScR s ystem
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea, a catalytic converter turns up to
85% of
 
nitrous
 
oxides
 
(NOx)
 
into
  nitrogen  
a

nd
 
water,
 
which
 
are
 
harmless
 
to   health   and  
t

he environment. The
a d
blu
e
® additive is held in a special
tank
 
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
a
d
blu

e
® 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.
on
ce the a
dbl
ue
® tank is empty, a
 
system
 
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 CITR
oË

N dealer or a qualified
workshop
 
as
 
soon   as   possible:   after  
a

 
running
 
distance   of   650   miles  
(

1 100
 
km),
 
a
 
system   will   be   triggered  
a

utomatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine  
s

tarting.

Important: if your vehicle's a

hich
 
is
  confirmed   by   the   alert  
m

essages   and   the   impossibility   of  
s

tarting
 
the   engine,   you   must   add   at  
l

east
 
3.8   litres   (so   two   1.89   litre   bottles).If any additive is split or splashed, wash
immediately
  with   cold   water   or   wipe  
w

If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off   using   a   sponge   and   hot   water.Important:
