Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between
two
services.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checks

Once the AdBlue® tank is empty,
a s
ystem 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.
AdBlue® additive and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance 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.

249
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank
is empty.
Range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically
in the instrument panel.
With the type 2 instrument panel,
pressing this button temporarily
displays the driving range.
Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
specified.
Type 1 instrument panel
Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)
When switching on the ignition, the UREA
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the temporary display in
the instrument panel of "NO START IN" and
a distance, indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres before engine
starting is prevented - (For example "NO
START IN 900 miles" means that "Starting will
be prevented in 900 miles).
When driving, this display appears every
150
miles (300 km) until the additive tank has
been topped-up.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue
® tank topped-up.
You can also top-up the tank yourself.
Refer to the "Topping-up" section.

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue® additive
To be able to start the engine,
we recommend that you call on
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

you carry out the top-up yourself, it is
essential to add at least 3.8 litres of
AdBlue
® to the additive tank.

Checks

In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions control system
A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
The UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving, when
the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists. In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after a self diagnosis test of the SCR
emissions control system. If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic
warning lamps come on and the UREA
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the temporary display in
the instrument panel of "NO START IN" and
a distance, indicating the remaining range
express in miles or kilometres before engine
starting is prevented - (e.g.: "NO START IN
350
miles" means "Starting will be prevented in
350 miles").
