2023 CITROEN DS4 adblue

184
During each scheduled ser vice of your vehicle
in the dealer network or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated distance travelled between two
ser vices is greater than around 12,500 miles
(20,000

km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue
®. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR

system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to the dealer
network or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685 miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special tank
with a capacity of around 17 litres: its capacity
offers a driving range of around 12,500 miles
(20,000 km) before triggering an alert system
that warns you when you can drive for a further
1,500 miles (2,400 km).
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®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank,
it may be necessary to top up the AdBlue
®
between ser vices, more particularly if an alert
(warning lamps and a message) signals the
requirement.
You can go to a member of the dealer network
or a qualified workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following recommendations and
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.

Practical information

185
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. Containers or bottles are available from the
dealer network or a qualified workshop.
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers 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 additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Procedure
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 F

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).
Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO
22241 standard. 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.

confirmed by the alert messages and the
impossibility of starting the engine – you
must add at least 4 litres.

Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, you must wait around 5 minutes
before switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver’s door, unlocking
the vehicle, introducing the key into
the ignition switch, or introducing
the key of the "Keyless Entr y and

carefully the instructions on use on the label
before pouring the contents of the container
or bottle into your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Matt finish
If your vehicle is coated with a clear, matt
varnish, it is essential that you take the
following instructions into account to avoid
damaging the paint, due to an inappropriate
treatment. These instructions are also valid for
the alloy wheels coated in a clear, matt varnish.
Textured paint
The textured paint reacts to light with variations
of appearance and finish that emphasise the
car's lines and form. This paint coating has
particles that remain visible and create a
unique satin relief effect. Its lightly granulated
texture gives it a surprising feel.
