REAGENT TANK
Please ensure that you comply with the legislation of your country. It is important to remember that failure to respect regulations in force could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner.
Operating principle
The reagent is intended for diesel engines fitted with the SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system.
Using a reagent reduces the quantity of nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases.
Reagent consumption in real time depends on vehicle usage conditions, the equipment fitted, and driving style.
Reagent quality
Use only reagents which conform to standard ISO 22241 and in accordance with the mark on the tank filler cap.
Filling
Capacity of the tank: 3.52 gal (16 litres) approximately.
With the ignition switched off, open the cover A, then unscrew the cap 1.
Note: Ammonium hydroxide vapour may escape from the cap opening when the tank temperature is high.
To fill up with reagent, the engine must be stopped (and not only on standby in the case of vehicles equipped with the Stop and Start function): you must switch off the engine ignition STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with key STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with card.
The reagent must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with plenty of cold water. If necessary, consult a doctor.
If the “XXX MILES (XXX KM) Failure Top up AdBlue” warning message appears, fill the reagent tank and refer to the filling instructions.
Risk of immobilisation of the vehicle.
Filler cap: this is specific.
If you have to replace it, make sure it is identical to the original cap. Contact an approved Dealer. Do not wash the filler area with a high pressure washer.
Filling (continued)
The tank can be filled at the pump. With the ignition off, insert the nozzle and insert it fully before turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing). Keep the nozzle in this position throughout the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically at the end of the filling procedure, a maximum of two further filling attempts may be made, as there must be sufficient space in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.
In other filling cases, it is essential to read the information shown on the reagent container (e.g. the can or bottle).
Precautions for use
When filling:
- handle the reagent with care. They can damage clothes, shoes, bodywork components etc.;
- make sure that no water enters the fuel tank.
If the reagent overflows, or contaminates any paintwork, clean the affected area quickly with plenty of cold water and a soft cloth.
Note: If the reagent crystallises, use a soft sponge.
In extreme cold weather conditions
In frosty weather conditions, the reagent tank should be refilled when the indicator and the message “Top up AdBlue before 1200 km” appear on the instrument panel.
Special cases
The reagent fluid freezes below about -10°C.
In these conditions, do not attempt filling when the fluid is frozen. In the event of needing to top up or fill the tank with reagent ( on), park the vehicle in a hotter location if possible so that the reagent becomes liquid again. Otherwise, have a qualified professional top up or fill up with reagent fluid.
After filling the reagent tank, check that the cap and cover are closed, start the engine and WAIT 10 seconds with the vehicle stationary, engine running before setting off again.
If this operation is not carried out, the filling of the tank will not be taken into account automatically until after several dozens of minutes of driving.
The message “--- Top up AdBlue” and/or the warning lights will continue to appear until the filling has been taken into account by the system.
No work whatsoever is permitted on any part of the system. To prevent damage, only qualified personnel from our network may work on the system.
Maintenance/Range
The information displayed on the instrument panel may be accompanied by a beep.
Indicator lights | Message | What to do? |
|---|---|---|
-
| “Top Up AdBlue before 2400 km” | When the message is displayed when the ignition is switched on, you have less than 1,488 miles (2,400 km) range. Refill, or have an Approved Dealer refill the reagent in the tank. |
appears. | “Top up AdBlue before 1200 km” | When the message is displayed when the ignition is switched on, you have between 744 miles (1,200 km) and 496 miles (800 km) range. Refill, or have an Approved Dealer refill the reagent in the tank. |
appears. | “XXX MILES (XXX KM) Failure Top up AdBlue” | The message is displayed when the ignition is switched on and is repeated: - Approximately every 62 miles (100 km), you have between about 496 miles (800 km) and 124 miles (200 km) range; - Approximately every 31 miles (50 km), you have less than 124 miles (200 km) range. In any event, fill or have an Approved Dealer fill the reagent tank as soon as possible. |
flashes | “0 MILES (0 KM) Failure Top up AdBlue” | The engine will not start. To restart, you must fill the reagent tank yourself. |
System fault
When the indicator lights light up, this may be accompanied by a beep.
Indicator lights | Message | Readings |
|---|---|---|
and © come on. | “Check anti-pollution system” “AdBlue quality to check” “AdBlue injection to check” | Indicates a fault in the system. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible. |
and © come on. | “XXX MILES (XXX KM) Failure antipollution” | Indicates a system fault and that in less than 496 miles (800 km) it will become impossible to restart the vehicle. These warnings are repeated: - every 62 miles (100 km) until there are between 500 miles (800 km) and 124 miles (200 km) remaining until the vehicle cannot be restarted; - Every 31 miles (50 km) when there is less than 124 miles (200 km) left before the vehicle cannot be restarted. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible. |
