Practical information
Topping-up the AdBlue
®
Precautions in use
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.
Never top up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
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 running
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 exterior 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).
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.
Use only AdBlue
®
fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
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 or 10 litre
containers from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 all weather
conditions.
