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: your
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.
AdBlue® additive and SCR system
for BlueHDi 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 filter (FAP) 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.
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.

Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle.
Recommendations on storage
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.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely 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 the AdBlue
® may be frozen and
so 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.
Procedure
F Switch off the ignition and remove the key, or if your vehicle has one, press the
START/STOP button to switch off the
engine. F

R
aise the boot floor for access to the
AdBlue
® tank. S
ecure the boot floor by attaching its cord
to the hook on the parcel shelf support.
F

U

nclip the black plastic blanking plug using
its tab.
F

I

nsert your fingers into the aperture and
turn the blue cap a 6
th of a turn anti-
clockwise.
F

C

arefully lift off the cap, without dropping it.

299
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.
Important: if your vehicle's
AdBlue
® tank is completely empty -
w
hich is confirmed by the alert displays
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 , you must wait
around 5 minutes before switching
on the ignition, without opening the
driver's door, locking the vehicle,
introducing the key into the ignition
switch, or introducing the key of the
"Keyless Entr y and Star ting" system
into the passenger compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then, after
10 seconds, start the engine.
F

O

®. 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. F

spillage around the tank filler using a damp
cloth.
