AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
Â
BlueHDi  Diesel  engines
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) Â
w
ith  a  particle  filter  (FAP)  for  the  treatment  of Â
e
xhaust  gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
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
 AdBlue
® additive is held in a special t
ank
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
Â
AdBlue
® 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. Once
 the  AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
Â
system
Â
required
 by  regulations Â
p
revents
Â
starting
Â
of  the  engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissions
Â
from
Â
your  vehicle  will  no Â
l
onger
Â
meet
Â
the
Â
Euro  6  standard:  your Â
v
ehicle
Â
becomes
Â
polluting.
In
Â
the
Â
event
Â
of
Â
a
Â
confirmed  fault Â
w
ith
Â
the
Â
SCR
Â
system,  you  must  go Â
t
o
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
Â
dealer  or  a  qualified Â
w
orkshop
Â
as
Â
soon  as  possible:  after Â
a
Â
running
Â
distance  of  650  miles Â
(
1Â 100
Â
km),
Â
a
Â
system  will  be  triggered Â
a
utomatically
Â
to
Â
prevent  engine Â
s
tarting.

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

given  the  capacity  of  the  tank, Â
i
t
Â
may
Â
be
Â
necessary  to  top-up  the  additive Â
b

Â
the
Â
following
Â
warnings  carefully.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the I
SOÂ 22241
Â
standard.
The
Â
supply
Â
in
Â
a

Â
bottles
Â
from  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified
 w
orkshop.
The
Â
AdBlue® additive is an urea-based s
olution.
Â
This  liquid  is  non-flammable, Â
c
olourless
Â
and  odourless  (kept  in  a  cool  area).
In
Â
the
Â
event
Â
of  contact  with  the  skin,  wash Â
t
he
Â
affected
Â
area  with  soap  and  water.  In  the Â
e
vent
Â
of

ith
Â
clean
Â
water  and  then  drink  plenty  of  water.
In
Â
certain
Â
conditions  (high  ambient Â
t
emperature,
 for  example),  the  risk  of  release Â
o
f
Â
ammonia
Â
cannot  be  excluded:  do  not  inhale Â
t
he
Â
product.
Â
Ammonia  vapour  has  an  irritant Â
e
ffect
Â
on
Â
mucous  membranes  (eyes,  nose  and Â
t
hroat).
The
Â
AdBlue
® additive freezes at t
emperatures  below  around  -11°C.
The
Â
SCR
Â
system  includes  a  heater Â
