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.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 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 2
2241 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
d
ealer or a
qualified workshop.

259
DS5_en_Chap09_verifications_ed02-2015
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle. 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 Press the START/STOP button to switch
o ff the engine. F
Ra
ise the boot floor for access to the
AdBlue
® tank. Use an object, such as a
bag, to keep the left part up.
Recommendations on storage
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.

Important: if your vehicle's
AdBlue
® tank is completely empty -
wh
ich 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:
when topping up after
running out of additive , signalled
by the message "Top up emissions
additive: Starting prevented", you must
wait for approximately 5 minutes before
switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver's door, unlocking
the vehicle, placing the key of the
"Keyless Entr y and Star ting" system
inside the vehicle or inser ting the
electronic key in the reader.
Switch on the ignition, wait for
10
s
econds, then 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.
