Precautions in use
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).
keep ad blue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
n ever transfer ad blue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Use only ad
blue
® additive that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute the additive with water.
never pour the additive into the d iesel
fuel tank.
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. Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
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.
