AdBlue® additive and SCR system
for Blue HDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with an effective system that
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with a particle emissions filter (PEF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea,
a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrous
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
s
ystem 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 standard: you
vehicle becomes polluting.
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 distance of 650 miles
(1 100 km), a system will be triggered
automatically to prevent engine starting.
The AdBlue® additive is held in a special
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 qualified 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.

Recommendations on storage
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle.

® tank, raise the boot
carpet then, depending on equipment, lift out
the spare wheel and/or the storage box. F

ithout pressing, turn the black cap a
quarter turn anti-clockwise and lift it off.
AdBlue
® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive can be
kept for at least a year.
Additive that has been frozen can be used once
it has thawed out. Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise, by freezing, the AdBlue
® cannot
be poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a
warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up
to be carried out.

F Obtain a bottle of AdBlue®. After first
checking the use-by date, read carefully
the instructions on use on the label before
pouring the contents of the bottle into your
vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Important : if your vehicle's AdBlue
®
tank is completely empty - which is
confirmed by the alert messages and
the impossibility of starting the engine,
you must add at least 3.8 litres (so
two 1.89 litre bottles). If any additive is split or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.
Important:
in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
additive , signalled by the message "Top
up emissions additive: Starting prevented",
you must wait around 5 minutes before
switching on the ignition, without opening
the driver's door, locking the vehicle
or introducing the key into the ignition
switch .
Switch on the ignition, then, after
10

seconds, start the engine.
Never dispose of AdBlue
® additive
bottles in the household waste. Place
them in a special container provided
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
