Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
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.Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets t
he ISO 22241
standard.
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
supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
t
oping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a
U
S gallon) bottles from a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
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.
Keep
AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
in
its
original bottle.
Never
transfer AdBlue
® to another
container:
it
would
loose its purity.

Recommendations on storage
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, can be used once it
h
as
completely thawed out.
Procedure
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.
