adblue® additive and SCR system
f
or
Blue
HDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
s
tandard, without adversely affecting the
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
e
ngines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip its vehicles with an effective system that
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with
a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the ScR s ystem
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea, a catalytic converter turns up to
85% of
nitrous
oxides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen
a
nd
water,
which
are
harmless
to health and
t
he environment. The
a d
blu
e
® additive is held in a special
tank
located
under the boot at the rear of
t
he
vehicle.
It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
p
rovides
a
driving range of about 12 500 miles
(
20
000
km),
after which an alert is triggered
w
arning
you
when the reserve remaining is
e
nough
for
just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During

scheduled service of your vehicle
b
y
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
t
he
a
d
blu

® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If
the
estimated mileage between two services
i
s
greater
than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
r
ecommend
that you go to a CITROËN dealer
o

t
op-up
carried out.

If the SCR

In

When switching on the ignition, an indicator gives an estimate of the distance that can

may
be
necessary to top-up the additive

more particularly if an alert
(
warning

Recommendations on storage
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.
