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
emissions
standard,
without
adversely
af
fecting
the
performance
or
fuel
con
-
sumption
of
Diesel
engines,
CITROËN
has
taken
the
decision
to
equip
its
ve
-
hicles
with
an
ef
fective
system
that
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction)
with
a
particle
filter
(F
AP)
for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® con-
taining
urea,
a
catalytic
converter
turns
up
to
85%
of
nitrous
oxides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen
and
water
,
which
are
harmless
to
health
and
the
environment. The
AdBlue® additive
is held in a spe -
cial
tank
located under the boot at the
rear
of
the
vehicle.
It
has
a
capacity
of
17
litres:
this
provides
a
driving
range
of
about
12
500
miles
(20
000
km),
after
which
an
alert
is
triggered
warning
you
when
the
reserve
remaining
is
enough
for
just
1
500 miles (2 400 km).
During
each
scheduled
service
of
your
vehicle
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qual
-
ified
workshop,
the
AdBlue® additive tank
is
refilled
in
order
to
allow normal
operation
of
the
SCR
system.
If
the
estimated
mileage
between
two
services
is
greater
than
12
500
miles
(20
000
km),
we
recommend
that
you
go
to
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
to
have
the
necessary
top-up
carried
out. Once
the
AdBlue® tank is
empty , a
system
required
by regulations
prevents
starting
of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your
vehicle
will
no
longer
meet
the
Euro
6
stan
-
dard:
you
vehicle
becomes
pol
-
luting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed
fault
with
the
SCR
system,
you
must
go
to
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
as
soon
as
possible:
after
a
running
dis
-
tance
of
650

a

will
be

Topping-up the AdBlue®
additive
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation included
in
every
routine service on
your
vehicle
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless,
given
the
capacity

tank,
it
may
be
necessary
to
top-up
the
additive
between

more
partic
-
ularly
if

alert
(warning

and

message)
signals
the requirement.
You
can

to

dealer
or

qualified
workshop.
If
you
envisage
topping-up
yourself,
please
read
the
following
warnings
carefully
. Precautions in use
The
AdBlue® additive is an urea-based solution.
This liquid is non-flammable,
colourless
and
odourless
(kept
in
a
cool
area).
In
the
event
of
contact
with
the
skin,
wash
the
af
fected
area
with
soap
and
water
.
In
the
event
of
contact
with
the
eyes,
wash
(irrigate)
the
eyes
with
large
amounts
of
water
or
with
an
eye
wash
solution
for
at
least
15
minutes.
If
a
burning
sensation
or
irritation
persists,
get
medical
attention.
If
swallowed,
immediately
wash
out
the
mouth
with
clean
water
and
then
drink
plenty
of
water.
In
certain
conditions
(high
ambient
tem
-
perature,
for
example),
the
risk
of
re
-
lease
of
ammonia
cannot
be
excluded:
do
not
inhale
the
product.
Ammonia
vapour
has
en
irritant
ef
fect
on
mucous
membranes
(eyes, nose and throat).
Keep
AdBlue® out of the reach
of
children,
in
its original bottle.
Never
transfer
AdBlue® to an-
other
container:
it
would loose
its
purity. Use
only
AdBlue® additive
that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
Never
dilute
the
additive
with
water
.
Never
pour
the
additive
into
the
Diesel
fuel
tank.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies toping-up.
Y ou can obtain 1.89 litre (half a
US
gallon)
bottles
from
a
CITROËN
deal-
er
or a qualified workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue®
dispenser
