SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue
®
that contains 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
holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600miles (9,000km), highly
dependent on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive for
a further 1,500miles (2,400km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle disabled.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and the associated alerts,
or the Indicators, refer to the corresponding
sections.
Once the AdBlue
®
tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the SCR
system, you must go to a dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible: after travelling
a distance of 685miles (1,100km), a system
will be triggered automatically to prevent
engine starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives the
distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
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.
Supply of AdBlue
®
It is recommended that the AdBlue
®
be topped up
as soon as the first alert is issued indicating that
the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
– Use only AdBlue
®
fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue
®
to another container
as it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue
®
with water.
It is possible to obtain AdBlue
®
from a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You can also visit a service station
equipped with AdBlue
®
pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue
®
freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area 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 AdBlue
®
containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue
®
is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-
flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept
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. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue
®
out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
