Good practice
While the quantity of
a
dBlue® in
the
additive
tank
is
sufficient,
no
information
is
displayed.
On
the
other
hand,
once
the
fluid
level drops to the quantity needed
for
a
range
of
1
500
miles
(2
400
km)
driving, you are warned by dif
ferent
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
® additive,
but
do
this
as
soon
as
possible.
Filling the AdBlue® tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre
containers
and
1.89
litre
(1/2 US gallon)
bottles are available
from
CITROËN

equipped
with
a
dBlue

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
.

protected
from direct sunlight.
Under
these conditions, the fluid 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

moderate
temperature for a few hours
until

go
off
immediately, but does so after a
few
miles
of
driving.
