used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,
there may be a slight inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to

The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.

Good practice
While the quantity of
a
dBlue® in
the additive tank is sufficient, no
information is displayed.
o

n the other hand, once the additive
level drops to the quantity needed
for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
driving, you are warned by different
temporary signals (warning lamp,
message, audible signal).
As more miles are covered, these
signals intensify and the message
becomes permanent.
When the
a
dBlue
® tank is empty,
restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the
a

dBlue
® tank,
but do this as soon as possible.
Filling the additive tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre
containers and 1.89 litre (1/2 US gallon)
bottles are available from CITROËN
dealers, until they are equipped with
a

dBlue
® delivery pumps.
If you want to fill the AdBlue® tank
yourself, ensure that you have a
suitable filler pipe, which may or may
not be supplied with the additive
container.

keep adBlue® out of the reach
of children, in its original
container.
n

ever transfer
a
dBlue
® to another
container: it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the additive with water.
n

ever pour the additive into the d iesel
fuel tank.
Recommendations on storage
never store containers or bottles of a dBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
a

dBlue® freezes at about -11°C
(12.2°

F) and deteriorates above 25°C
(77°F).
It is recommended that containers and
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.
a

dditive that has been frozen can be used
once it has thawed out in ambient air. The SCR system includes an
a

dBlue
® tank heater that ensures
operation of the vehicle in normal
conditions.
In exceptional situations, such as when
the vehicle is kept at temperatures
below -15°C (5°F) for a long period,
there may be an emission fault alert
related to freezing of the
a

dBlue
®
additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more
moderate temperature for a few hours
until the additive becomes a liquid
again.
The emissions warning lamp does not
go off immediately, but does so after a
few miles of driving.
