Get CHECKS -> BlueHDi and AdBlue? Guide for Citroen Berlingo SUV Second Generation (2008-2018)

AdBlue^®

SCR technology

The aim of BlueHDi is to reduce the

emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in

the air by up to 90%, 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^®into the exhaust system.

BlueHDi vehicles have a speciﬁc

AdBlue^®additive tank with a capacity

of 17 litres.

It has an exterior ﬁller with a blue ﬁller

cap, located to the left of the Diesel

fuel ﬁller cap.

BLUEHDI AND ADBLUE^®

Filling of the AdBlue^®tank can be

done using 5 or 10 litre containers,

1.89 litre bottles, or when at a fuel

ﬁlling station equipped with a special

AdBlue^®delivery pump for light

vehicles.

AdBlue^®is the brand name of the

solution needed for operation of the

SCR system.

This operation can also be carried

out by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Please note that the high delivery

pumps at some ﬁlling stations,

intended only for lorries and coaches,

are not suitable for cars or light

commercial vehicles.

Never use these pumps.

AdBlue^®

Good practice

While the quantity of AdBlue^®in

the additive tank is sufﬁcient, no

information is displayed.

On the other hand, once the ﬂuid

level drops to the quantity needed

for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km)

driving, you are warned by different

temporary signals (warning lamp,

message, audible signal).

As more miles are covered, these

signals intensify and the message

becomes permanent.

When the AdBlue^®tank is empty,

restarting becomes impossible.

It is strongly recommended that you

do not wait for the successive alerts

before topping-up the AdBlue^®additive,

but do this as soon as possible.

Filling the AdBlue^®tank

For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre

containers and 1.89 litre

(1/2 US gallon) bottles are available

from CITROËN dealers, until they are

equipped with AdBlue^®delivery pumps.

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.

Range indicators

Rules on the display of alerts

Driving range

Different levels of alert are triggered

according to the remaining driving

range threshold

Press this button to display

the information.

You will be informed as each mileage

threshold is reached and the alerts will

change from temporary to permanent.

With the touch screen tablet:

Once the 1 500 miles (2 400 km)

threshold is reached, the UREA

warning lamp comes on temporarily

and the remaining range message is

displayed.

The alert is repeated every 200 miles

(300 km) until the next threshold is

reached.

-

The 1^stis triggered at a remaining

driving range of 1 500 miles

(2 400 km).

The 2^ndis triggered at a remaining

driving range of 350 miles

(600 km).

Up to 0 miles, at which point it will

be impossible to restart the engine

after a stop.

-

select the "Driving

assistance" menu,

-

select "Diagnostic",

Every time the ignition is switched

on, the alert is given, together with an

audible signal.

-

select CHECK.

For more information on the

displays and warning lamps, refer

to chapter 3, "Instruments and

controls" section.

If the range is greater than 3 100 miles

(5 000 km), a range value is not given.

AdBlue^®

Remaining range less than 350 miles

(600 km) and more than 0 miles

Starting prevented, breakdown related

to a lack of AdBlue^®in the special tank

The 0 ﬂuid level has been reached.

Fault with the SCR system

Detection

Your vehicle's exhaust emissions no

longer meet the "Euro 6" standard and

the engine will not start.

Once the 350 miles (600 km) threshold

is reached, the UREA warning lamp

ﬂashes and the Service warning lamp

comes on, accompanied by a message

on the remaining driving range.

The alert is repeated every 30 seconds

with an update of the remaining driving

range in steps of 30 miles (50 km)

travelled.

Every time the ignition is switched

on, the alert is given together with an

audible signal.

At 0 miles the system installed in

the vehicle to meet the emissions

standard will prevent engine

starting.

To be able to restart the vehicle, you

must add at least 4 litres of AdBlue^®.

The UREA, Service and diagnostic

warning lamps comes on.

Every time the ignition is switched on,

the emissions fault is conﬁrmed by an

audible signal and a message.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert

disappears as soon as the exhaust

emissions return to the levels required

by the standard.

-

Pour the additive into the tank (by

the ﬁller with the blue cap).

Switch on the ignition without

starting.

Wait 10 seconds before starting the

engine.

Or go to a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

On the other hand, if the warning

lamps are still on after 30 miles

(50 km) of driving, the fault is

conﬁrmed.

Avoid waiting until the

remaining range is 0 miles!

The alert is repeated when driving until

the AdBlue^®tank has been topped-up

with sufﬁcient additive.

Unless the additive in the special

additive tank is topped-up, you risk

immobilisation of the vehicle.

An engine start prevention system

will be activated automatically after

650 miles (1 100 km) travelled

following this conﬁrmation.

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Following this, make a further ﬁll

to the special additive tank, the

capacity of which is 17 litres.
