keep a dblu e® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   bottle.
Never transfer
a d
blu
e
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
loose   its   purity. Never
  dilute   the   additive   with   water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel   tank.
Never   top-up   from   an   AdBlue®
dispenser
 
reserved
 
for
 
heavy
 
goods  
v

ehicles.
Filling
 
the
 
AdBlue
® tank is an operation i
ncluded in every routine service on your
vehicle by a CITR
oË

N dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless,
 
given   the   capacity   of   the   tank,  
i

t
 
may
 
be
 
necessary   to   top-up   the   additive  
b

etween
 
services,
  more   particularly   if   an   alert  
(

warning
 
lamps
 
and   a   message)   signals   the  
r

equirement.
You
 
can
 
got
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
If
 
you
 
envisage
 
topping-up   yourself,   please  
r

ead
 
the
 
following
 
warnings   carefully.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only adblu e® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
 
standard.
The
 
supply
 
in
 
a
 
non-drip   bottle   simplifies  
t

oping-up.
 
You
 
can   obtain   1.89   litre   (half   a   US  
g

allon)
 
bottles
 
from   a   CITROËN dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
The
a
dblu
e® additive is an urea-based
solution.
 
This   liquid   is   non-flammable,  
c

olourless
 
and   odourless   (kept   in   a   cool   area).
In
 
the
 
event
 
of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash  
t

he
 
affected
 
area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

vent
 
of
 
contact   with   the   eyes,   wash   (irrigate)  
t

he
 
eyes
 
with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with  
a

n
 
eye
 
wash
  solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
I

f
 
a
 
burning
 
sensation   or   irritation   persists,   get  
m

edical
 
attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

ith
 
clean
 
water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain
 
conditions   (high   ambient  
t

emperature,
  for   example),   the   risk   of   release  
o

f
 
ammonia
 
cannot   be   excluded:   do   not   inhale  
t

he
 
product.
 
Ammonia   vapour   has   en   irritant  
e

ffect
 
on
 
mucous   membranes   (eyes,   nose   and

RAcING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.  The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Lighting
F Check   the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine
