Toassurerespectfortheenvironmentand
conformitywiththenewEuro6emissions
standard,withoutadverselyaffectingthe
performanceorfuelconsumptionofDiesel
engines,CITROËNhastakenthedecisionto
equipitsvehicleswithaneffectivesystemthat
associatesSCR(SelectiveCatalyticReduction)
withaparticlefilter(FAP)forthetreatmentof

urea,acatalyticconverterturnsupto85%
ofnitrousoxides(NOx)intonitrogenand
water,whichareharmlesstohealthandthe

TheAdBlue

additiveisheldinaspecial
tanklocatedunderthebootattherearof
thevehicle.Ithasacapacityof17litres:this
providesadrivingrangeofabout12500miles
(20000km),afterwhichanalertistriggered
warningyouwhenthereserveremainingis
enoughforjust1500miles(2400km).

Iftheestimatedmileagebetweentwoservices

recommendthatyougotoaCITROËNdealer

asystemrequiredbyregulations
preventsstartingoftheengine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissionsfromyourvehiclewillno
longermeettheEuro6standard:you
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:after
arunningdistanceof650miles
(1100km),asystemwillbetriggered
