AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
BlueHDi 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)
w
ith a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
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 AdBlue
® 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
each
scheduled service of your vehicle
b
y
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
t
he AdBlue
® 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
r
a
qualified workshop to have the necessary
t
op-up
carried out. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
system
required
by regulations
p
revents
starting
of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your vehicle will no
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: you
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
w
ith
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop
as
soon as possible: after
a
running
distance of 650 miles
(
1 100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine
s
tarting.
189
DS3_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
Range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after d
etection
of
a
fault with the SCR emissions
c
ontrol
system,
when the ignition is switched
o
n,
an
indicator
displays an estimate of the
d

that
can
be covered, the range, before
e
ngine
starting
is
prevented.
In
the
event
of
simultaneous system fault and
l
ow AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is t
he
one
displayed. The
engine start prevention system
r
equired by regulations is activated
a
utomatically once the AdBlue
® tank i
s
empty.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
i
nformation on range is displayed automatically
i
n the instrument panel.
Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)
When switching on the ignition, the UREA warning lamp comes on, accompanied
b
y an audible signal and the display of a
m
essage (e.g.: "Top up emissions additive:
S
tarting prevented in 900 miles") indicating
t
he remaining range expressed in miles or
k
ilometres.
When
driving, the message is displayed every
2
00 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has
be
en
t
opped-up.
Go
to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop to have the AdBlue
® tank topped-up.
Y
ou
can
also
top-up
the
tank
yourself.
Refer
to
the
"Topping-up"
section.
Practical information
DS3_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning
l
amp flashes, accompanied by an audible
s
ignal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top
u
p emissions additive: Starting prevented in
3
50 miles") indicating the remaining range
e
xpressed in miles or kilometres.
When
driving, the message is displayed every
3

t
opped-up.
Go
to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

Refer
to
the

section.
Other wise you will not be able to restart your
engine.

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue® additive
To be able to start the engine, w
e recommend that you call on
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop for the top-up required. If
y
ou carry out the top-up yourself, it is
essential
to add at least 3.8 litres of
Ad
Blue
® to the tank.
R
efer
to
the "Topping-up" section.
DS3_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
Freezing of the AdBlue® additiveKeep 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
fuel tank.
Never top-up from an AdBlue®
dispenser
reserved
for
heavy
goods
v
ehicles.
Filling
the
AdBlue
® tank is an operation i
ncluded in every routine service on your
vehicle
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.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
standard.
The
supply
in
a
non-drip bottle simplifies
t
oping-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
solution.
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 en irritant
e
ffect
on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
t
hroat).
The AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures 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.
193
DS3_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in
your vehicle.
AdBlue
® freezes at about -11°C and d
eteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
t
hat 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.
O
ther wise, by freezing, the AdBlue
® cannot
be
poured
into
its
tank.
Park
your
vehicle in a
w
armer
area
for
a
few
hours
to
allow the top-up
t
o
be
carried
out.
