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 a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a c
atalytic
converter
turns
up
to 85% of nitrogen
o
xides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen
and water, which are
h
armless
to
health
and
the
environment. The
AdBlue
® additive is held in a special t
ank
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 s
ystem
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 starting.

This kit is installed i n t he s torage b ox, u nder t he b
oot floor.
This
kit consists of a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair
of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread or
s
houlder.
Its compressor can be used to check and adjust the pressure of the tyre.

Access to the kit
Depending on version, the kit is stowed under t
he front passenger's seat or in the storage box
u
nder the second row footwell.

F Switch on the compressor by moving t
he switch B to position "I" until the tyre
pressure
reaches 2.0 bars.
T
he sealant is injected into the tyre under
p
ressure; do not disconnect the pipe from
t
he valve during this operation (risk of
sp
lashing).
If
after around 5 to 7 minutes the
p
ressure is not attained, this indicates
t
hat the tyre is not repairable; contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop for assistance. F
R emove the kit and screw the cap back on t
