Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing
down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral n .
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position n .
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the
parking brake. Check that the
parking
brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument
panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine
compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral

changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-
If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed
(for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically
, to first gear if
needed.
-
It is not necessary to release the
accelerator
completely during gear
changes.
-
a
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-
For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may
be performed automatically.

With the automatic gearbox
system,
for your comfort during

Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open
the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert
the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove
the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When
filling with fuel, a
mechanical
system prevents
opening
of the left-hand side door.
When
the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that
no one tries to slide this door.
Once
the flap has been closed, the
sliding
side door may jam, push the
door
to close it then open it.
When
the
minimum
fuel
tank
level is reached, this warning
lamp
comes
on.
You then have
approximately 8 litres of
fuel
remaining.
Fill
up
without
delay
to
avoid
running
out
of
fuel.
Never
risk
driving
until
you
run
out
of
fuel
as
this
may
damage
the
emissions
control
and
injection
systems. A
label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds
you of the type of fuel to be
used.
Y
ou must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for
it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When
the fuel filler cap is opened,
there
may be a slight air suction noise.
This
vacuum is entirely normal and is
due
to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When
filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
This
could
cause malfunctions.
The
capacity
of
the
fuel tank is
approximately
60
litres.
-
After
filling
the
fuel tank, lock the
cap
and
close
the flap.
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 %
ethanol), conforming to European
standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for

is
subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions indicated
in
the maintenance and warranty
guide.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a

GI

ES
To assure respect for the environment and conformity with the new Euro 6
emissions
standard, without adversely
af
fecting 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 exhaust
gases.
Presentation of the Scr system
Using an additive called adBlue®
containing urea, a catalytic converter
turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides
(
no
x) into nitrogen and water, which
are
harmless
to
health
and
the
environment.
The
a
dBlue
® 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).
d
uring each scheduled service of
your vehicle by a CITR
o Ë n dealer
or
a
qualified workshop, the
AdBlue®
additive
tank
is
refilled
in
order
to
allow
normal
operation
of
the
SCR
system.
If
the
estimated
mileage
between
two services is greater than
12 500 miles
(20
000
km),
we
recommend
that
you
go
to
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
to
have
the
necessary
top-up
carried
out.
o
nce the a dBlue
® tank is empty, 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
automatically
to
prevent engine
starting.

topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling the adBlue® tank is an operation included in every routine service on
your vehicle by a CITR
o Ë n dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
n
evertheless, given the capacity
of
the
tank,
it
may
be necessary to
top-up the additive between services,
more
particularly
if an alert (warning
lamps
and
a
message) signals the
requirement.
Y
ou can got to a CITR o Ë n dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself,
please read the following warnings
carefully. Precautions in use
The
a dBlue® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable,
colourless
and odourless (kept in a
cool
area).
In
the
event
of contact with the skin,
wash the af
fected area with soap and
water.
In
the
event of contact with the
eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with
large
amounts of water or with an eye
wash
solution for at least 15 minutes.
If a burning sensation or irritation
persists,
get
medical attention.
If
swallowed, immediately wash out the
mouth
with
clean water and then drink
plenty
of
water.
In
certain
conditions (high ambient
temperature,
for example), the risk
of
release
of
ammonia cannot be
excluded:
do not inhale the product.
Ammonia
vapour has en irritant effect
on
mucous
membranes (eyes, nose
and
throat).

recommendations on storage
a
dBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is
recommended
that bottles be stored in
a
cool
area and protected from direct
sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive
can
be
kept for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, can be used
once
it
has completely thawed out.
n
ever store bottles of
a
dBlue
® in
your
vehicle. Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the
vehicle
is parked on a flat and level
surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that
the
temperature of the vehicle is
above -1
1°C. Otherwise, by freezing,
the
a dBlue
® cannot be poured into its
tank.
Park
your vehicle in a warmer
area for a few hours to allow the top-up
to
be
carried out.
