BlueHDi
and AdBlue
®
additive
SCR technology
AdBlue
®
is the brand name of the solution
needed for operation of the SCR system.
BlueHDi vehicles have a specific AdBlue
®
additive tank with a capacity of 17 litres.
Filling of the AdBlue
®
tank can be done using
5 or 10 litre containers or 1.89 litre bottles.
The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce by up
to 90% the emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides)
in the air, using a system that converts NOx
into water vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6" emissions
standard adopted by the European Union
aimed at limiting the emissions of pollutants
from internal combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi engines
involves the injection of AdBlue
®
fluid into the
exhaust system.
Check that the product is within its use-by date.
Read the instructions on the label.
If you want to fill the AdBlue
®
tank yourself,
ensure that you have a suitable filler pipe,
which may or may not be supplied with the
additive container.
This operation can also be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
