Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Bottles or containers are available from
a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in
a
cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a
year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Procedure
In cold weather, before per forming the top up
ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Other wise 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.
Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
