Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The
 
AdBlue
® additive freezes at t
emperatures   below   around   -11°C.
The
 
SCR
 
system   includes   a   heater  
f

or
 
the
 
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
 
driving   in   very   cold   conditions.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in useFilling the AdBlue® tank is an operation i
ncluded
 
in
 
every
 
routine   service   on   your  
v

ehicle
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
Nevertheless,
 
given   the   capacity   of   the   tank,  
i

t
 
may
 
be
 
necessary   to   top-up   the   additive  
b

etween
 
services,
  more   particularly   if   an   alert  
(

warning
 
lamps
 
and   a   message)   signals   the  
r

equirement.
You
 
can
 
got
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
If
 
you
 
envisage
 
topping-up   yourself,   please  
r

ead
 
the
 
following
 
warnings   carefully. Keep
  AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   bottle.
Never
 
transfer   AdBlue
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
lose
  its   purity. Never
  dilute   the   additive   with   water.
Never   pour   the   additive   into   the   Diesel  
f

uel   tank.
Never   top-up   from   an   AdBlue®
dispenser
 
reserved
 
for
 
heavy
 
goods  
v

ehicles.
Use
 
only
 
AdBlue
® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
 
standard.
The
 
supply
 
in
 
a
 
non-drip   bottle   simplifies  
t

opping-up.
 
You
 
can   obtain   1.89   litre   (half   a   US  
g

allon)
 
bottles
 
from   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
The
 
AdBlue® additive is an urea-based s
olution.
 
This   liquid   is   non-flammable,  
c

olourless
 
and   odourless   (kept   in   a   cool   area).
In
 
the
 
event
 
of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash  
t

he
 
affected
 
area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

vent
 
of
 
contact   with   the   eyes,   wash   (irrigate)  
t

he
 
eyes
 
with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with  
a

n
 
eye
 
wash
  solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
I

f
 
a
 
burning
 
sensation   or   irritation   persists,   get  
m

edical
 
attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

ith
 
clean
 
water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain
 
conditions   (high   ambient  
t

emperature,
  for   example),   the   risk   of   release  
o

f
 
ammonia
 
cannot   be   excluded:   do   not   inhale  
t

he
 
product.
 
Ammonia   vapour   has   an   irritant  
e

ffect
 
on
 
mucous   membranes   (eyes,   nose   and  
t

hroat).
