switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)A system that prevents engine starting
is activated automatically from
650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation

control system. Have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible. In the event of the detection of a fault

Precautions in use
AdBlue® is a 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 temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original container or
bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO

22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
The supply in a non-drip container or bottle
simplifies topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre
(half a US gallon) bottles or 5 litre containers
from a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
Topping-up the AdBlue®
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 fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.

The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when the exterior temperature is
higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed. *

T
he weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by the same
amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
