2016 Citroen C3 PICASSO RHD Additive

166
Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures below around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater
for the AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to
continue driving in very cold conditions.
Filling the AdBlue
® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on your
vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank,
it may be necessary to top-up the additive
between services, more particularly if an alert
(warning lamps and a message) signals the
requirement.
You can got to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Topping-up the AdBlue®
additive
The AdBlue® additive is an urea-based
solution. This liquid is non-flammable,
colourless and odourless (kept in a cool area).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash
the affected area with soap and water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate)
the eyes with large amounts of water or with
an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes.
If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high ambient
temperature, for example), the risk of release
of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale
the product. Ammonia vapour has en irritant
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
throat).
Precautions in use
Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Use only AdBlue
® additive that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US
gallon) bottles from a CITROËN

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Practical information

167
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle.
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.
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.
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 For access to the AdBlue® tank, raise the
boot carpet then, depending on equipment,
lift out the spare wheel and/or the storage
box.

Practical information

168
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 -
w
hich 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 , 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.

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with bio-fuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
The only petrol additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 standard.
Petrol that meets the EN228 standard, mixed with a bio-fuel meeting the EN15376 standard.
Travelling abroad Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of your vehicle. In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific sales name…) to ensure correct operation of the
engine. For any additional information, contact your dealer.
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
For more information, contact a dealer of the brand or a qualified workshop.
Compatibility of fuels
Diesel fuel at low temperature
In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in the summer diesel fuels may result in abnormal operation of the fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of winter diesel fuels is recommended, keeping
the tank topped up to more than 50% of its capacity. If in spite of this you experience difficulties starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C (+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a heated workshop for a while.
