b

referring   to   the   corresponding   section.
It is essential
 

to   add   at   least   3.8   litres   of   AdBlue
® to
the
 
additive
 
tank.
Monitoring

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
 
BlueHDi   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)  
w

ith   a   particle   filter   (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of  
e

xhaust   gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
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
  AdBlue
® additive is held in a special t
ank
 
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
 
AdBlue
® 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. Once
  the   AdBlue
® 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
 
CITROËN
 
dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop
 
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.

Other wise you will not be able to restart your
engine.
Remaining range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)
When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE w arning   lamp   comes   on   and   the   UREA   warning  
l

amp   flashes,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue® additive
To be able to start the engine, w
e   recommend   that   you   call   on  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   for   the   top-up   required.   If  
y

ou   carry   out   the   top-up   yourself,   it   is  
e

ssential   to   add   at   least   3.8   litres   of  
Ad

Blue
® to the tank.
R
efer
 
to
  the   "Topping-up"   section.

Freezing of the AdBlue® additiveKeep   AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   bottle.
Never
 
transfer   AdBlue
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
lose
  its   purity. Never
  dilute   the   additive   with   water.
Never   pour   the   additive   into   the   Diesel  
f

uel   tank.
Never   top-up   from   an   AdBlue®
dispenser
 
reserved
 
for
 
heavy
 
goods  
v

ehicles.
Filling
 
the
 
AdBlue
® tank is an operation i
ncluded
 
in
 
every
 
routine   service   on   your  
v

ehicle
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
Nevertheless,
 
given   the   capacity   of   the   tank,  
i

t
 
may
 
be
 
necessary   to   top-up   the   additive  
b

etween
 
services,
  more   particularly   if   an   alert  
(

warning
 
lamps
 
and   a   message)   signals   the  
r

equirement.
You
 
can
 
got
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
If
 
you
 
envisage
 
topping-up   yourself,   please  
r

ead
 
the
 
following
 
warnings   carefully.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
 
standard.
The
 
supply
 
in
 
a
 
non-drip   bottle   simplifies  
t

oping-up.
 
You
 
can   obtain   1.89   litre   (half   a   US  
g

allon)
 
bottles
 
from   a   CITROËN dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
The
 
AdBlue® additive is an urea-based s
olution.
 
This   liquid   is   non-flammable,  
c

olourless
 
and   odourless   (kept   in   a   cool   area).
In
 
the
 
event
 
of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash  
t

he
 
affected
 
area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

vent
 
of
 
contact   with   the   eyes,   wash   (irrigate)  
t

he
 
eyes
 
with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with  
a

n
 
eye
 
wash
  solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
I

f
 
a
 
burning
 
sensation   or   irritation   persists,   get  
m

edical
 
attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

ith
 
clean
 
water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain
 
conditions   (high   ambient  
t

emperature,
  for   example),   the   risk   of   release  
o

f
 
ammonia
 
cannot   be   excluded:   do   not   inhale  
t

he
 
product.
 
Ammonia   vapour   has   en   irritant  
e

ffect
 
on
 
mucous   membranes   (eyes,   nose   and  
t

hroat).
The
 
AdBlue
® additive freezes at t
emperatures   below   around   -11°C.
The
 
SCR
 
system   includes   a   heater  
f

or
 
the
 
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
 
driving   in   very   cold   conditions.

197
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in
your vehicle.
AdBlue
® freezes at about -11°C and d
eteriorates   above   25°C.   It   is   recommended  
t

hat
 
bottles   be   stored   in   a   cool   area   and  
p

rotected   from   direct   sunlight.
Under
 
these   conditions,   the   additive   can   be  
k

ept
 
for
 
at   least   a   year.
If
 
the
 
additive   has   frozen,   it   can   be   used   once   it  
h

as
 
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  
t

emperature   of   the   vehicle   is   above   -11°C.  
O

ther wise,   by   freezing,   the   AdBlue
® cannot
be
 
poured
 
into
 
its
 
tank.
 
Park
 
your
 
vehicle   in   a  
w

armer
 
area
 
for
 
a
 
few
 
hours
 
to
 
allow   the   top-up  
t

o
 
be
 
carried
 
out.
Procedure

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  
i

mmediately   with   cold   water   or   wipe  
w

ith   a   damp   cloth.
If   the   additive   has   crystallised,   clean   it  
o

ff   using   a   sponge   and   hot   water.Important:
 i
n the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
additive ,   signalled   by   the   message   "Top
