Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least
five
minutes as soon as possible,
when traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITROËN dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).

CHECKSCarbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access flap allows replacement of
the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By
means of its second special active
filter, it contributes to the purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the parking
brake should be adjusted, even between
services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet for the replacement interval for
these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.

ADBLUE® ADDITIVE AND SCR
SYSTEM
FOR

B
LUE HD I D IESEL


ENGINES
To assure respect for the environment
and conformity with the new Euro 6
emissions standard, without adversely
affecting 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
(NOx) into nitrogen and water, which
are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® 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).
During each scheduled service of
your vehicle by a CITROËN 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. Once the AdBlue
® 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.

covered with the permanent display of
the message signalling a fault), when
switching on the ignition, the SERVICE
and engine diagnostic warning lamps
come on and the UREA warning lamp
flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message
(e.g.: "Emissions fault: Starting
prevented in 150 miles") indicating the
remaining range express in miles or

Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on
your vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Nevertheless, 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.
You can got to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself,
please read the following warnings
carefully. Precautions in use
The AdBlue® 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 affected 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).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would loose its purity. Use only AdBlue
® additive that meets
the ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute the additive with
water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
The supply in a non-drip bottle
simplifies toping-up. You can obtain
1.89 litre (half a US gallon) bottles
from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy
goods vehicles.
