contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Check the coolant level regularly.

the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a

Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or

Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a

Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
Topping up with AdBlue®
Before topping up, please read the
following warnings carefully.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid
is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(stored in a
cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse 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 exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of ammonia being
released cannot be excluded: do not inhale
the vapours. Ammonia has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6
standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a
Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with
a
capacity of approximately 14 litres.
It has an exterior filler located behind the fuel
filler flap below the fuel filler cap and closed
with a
blue filler cap .
An alarm system is triggered once the
remaining range is 1,500 (2,400 km), in other
words once the reser ve level is reached. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
regulatory device prevents the engine
from being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle no longer
meet the Euro 6
regulations: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a
confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon
as possible: having travelled 250 miles
(400 km), a device will be triggered
automatically to prevent the engine from
starting.

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.
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.

Refilling
F Insert the AdBlue® pump nozzle and refill
the tank until the nozzle stops automatically. Important:
-
N
ever pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
-
T
o avoid over flowing the AdBlue
® tank,
it is recommended:
•
T
o do a
top up between 10
and
13
litres using the AdBlue
® container
or bottle.
Or
•
I
f filling in a
ser vice station, to stop
after the first automatic shut-off of
the nozzle.
-
I
f your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank is
completely empty – which is confirmed
by the alert messages and the
impossibility of starting the engine –
you must add at least 4
litres.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the side of the body, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a
sponge and hot water.
F
O
btain an
AdBlue
® container or bottle. After
first checking the use-by date, read the
instructions on the label carefully before
pouring the contents of the container or
bottle into your vehicle's AdBlue tank.
Or F
R
efit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it
1/6 of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
F
C
lose the fuel filler flap.
Important: In the event of a top-up after
running out of AdBlue , you must wait
about five minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's
door, unlocking the vehicle or inser ting
the key in the ignition switch .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10 seconds before starting the engine.
