To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity  with  the  new  Euro  6  emissions Â
s
tandard,  without  adversely  affecting  the Â
p
er formance  or  fuel  consumption  of  Diesel Â
e
ngines,  CITROËN  has  taken  the  decision  to Â
e
quip  its  vehicles  with  an  effective  system  that Â
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with
 a  particle  filter  (FAP)  for  the  treatment  of Â
e
xhaust  gases.
Presentation of the ScR s ystem
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea, a catalytic converter turns up to
85%Â of
Â
nitrous
Â
oxides
Â
(NOx)
Â
into
 nitrogen Â
a
nd
Â
water,
Â
which
Â
are
Â
harmless
Â
to  health  and Â
t
he environment. The
a d
blu
e
® additive is held in a special
tank
Â
located
 under  the  boot  at  the  rear  of Â
t
he
Â
vehicle.
Â
It  has  a  capacity  of  17  litres:  this Â
p
rovides
Â
a
Â
driving  range  of  about  12  500  miles Â
(
20
Â
000
Â
km),
 after  which  an  alert  is  triggered Â
w
arning
Â
you
Â
when  the  reserve  remaining  is Â
e
nough
Â
for
Â
just  1  500  miles  (2  400  km).
During
Â
each
 scheduled  service  of  your  vehicle Â
b
y
Â
a
Â
CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop, Â
t
he
a
d
blu
e
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
Â
normal  operation  of  the  SCR  system.
If
Â
the
Â
estimated  mileage  between  two  services Â
i
s
Â
greater
Â
than  12  500  miles  (20  000  km),  we Â
r
ecommend
 that  you  go  to  a  CITROËN  dealer Â
o
r
Â
a
Â
qualified  workshop  to  have  the  necessary Â
t
op-up
Â
carried  out.

If the SCR
is faulty, the level of

Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only adblu e® additive that meets the I

The
a
dblu

solution.
Â
This  liquid  is  non-flammable, Â
c
olourless
Â
and  odourless  (kept  in  a  cool  area).
In
