Display of the remaining AdBlue ®
range
At 0 miles, starting is
not possible
until you
have topped-up with
at least 3.8 litres of the
AdBlue
® additive (equivalent
to a range of about
3 000 miles (5 000 km) for
the AdBlue
® additive).
Between 1500 and 350 miles
(2 400 and 600 km), the
warning lamp is displayed
at every engine start,
accompanied by a message
indicating the number of miles
(kilometres) that can be run.
Between 350 and 0 miles
(600 and 0 km), the warning
lamp flashes, accompanied
by the ser vice warning
lamp and a message
indicating the number of
miles (kilometres) that can
be run.
When the AdBlue
®
tank is full, the range of the vehicle is about 12 500 miles (20 000 km).
You can check the remaining
range by pressing this button
in the instrument panel, if your
vehicle has the button.
In order to continue to meet the
standards on exhaust emissions,
you must follow the alert messages
scrupulously.
Never continue driving until the AdBlue
®
additive is completely used up.
After switching off the ignition, it will not
be possible to start the engine until the
AdBlue
® has been topped up.
Illumination of the warning lamp indicates that the remaining range for the
AdBlue
® additive is less than 1 500 miles (2 400 km). You should refill or top up
the AdBlue ® tank without delay.
See the section on "Refilling the AdBlue ®
tank".

Freezing of the AdBlue ®
additive
If your vehicle has recently been subjected to ambient temperatures
below -11°C and the emissions warning lamp is on, the AdBlue ®
additive may be frozen.
Park the vehicle in a warmer area (garage, ...) for around half a day
(duration variable depending in the temperature in the area) until the
additive is liquid again.
The emissions warning lamp does not go off immediately and will
occur after several mile of running.
You have 680 miles (1100 km) to contact a franchised dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the injection system adjusted. the alert will be repeated
every 62 miles (100 km).
After the 680 miles (1100 km) you will not be able to start the engine until it
has been checked.

Topping up the AdBlue ®
additive
If the AdBlue ®
additive is spilt outside
of the tank, wash the spillage using
cold water to avoid crystallisation of the
product and damage to surrounding
materials.
If the AdBlue
®
additive has already
formed crystals, wipe them of with a
sponge and hot water.
As soon as the "UREA" warning lamp comes on,
you must fill or top up the additive tank as soon
as possible.
For filling of the AdBlue
®
tank, it is recommended
that you contact a franchised dealer or a
qualified workshop.
This refilling operation forms part of the routine
ser vicing of your vehicle (refer to the ser vicing
booklet).
If the AdBlue
®
additive is completely used up
("starting prevented" or "No start on 0 km"
message), you will not be able to restart the
vehicle.
To allow starting, you can top-up yourself,
adding at least 3.8 litres of the AdBlue
® additive
(equivalent to around 3 000 miles (5 000 km) of
range for the AdBlue
® additive) before making an
appointment with a dealer as soon as possible to
have the AdBlue
® tank filled. If you have to top-up yourself, ensure that the
vehicle is on a flat and level sur face (not over a
kerb or on a slope, ...) so as to ensure correct
filling.
Do not fill the tank when the ambient temperature
is below -10°C.
)
If necessary, use the
screwdriver end of the
towing eye, located in the
boot.
)
Remove the ignition key, or if your vehicle
has one, press the START/STOP button to
switch off the engine.

Service indicator
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears in the screen.
System which informs the driver when the next service is due, in accordance with the manufacturer's servicing schedule. The point at which the service is due is calculated from the last indicator zero reset, according to the mileage covered and the time elapsed since the last service. For Blue HDi Diesel versions, depending on the country of sale, the level of deterioration of the engine oil may also be taken into account.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbolising the service operations comes on. The distance recorder display line indicates the distance remaining before the next service is due. Example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain before the next service is due. For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner goes off ; the distance recorder the spanner goes off ; the distance recorder the spanner goes offresumes its normal operation. The screen then indicates the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before the next service is due. For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on to indicate that a service must be carried out soon.

Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner flashes to indicate that the service must be carried out as soon as possible. Example: the service is overdue by 186 miles (3 0 0 k m). For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on . With Blue HDi Diesel versions, the Servicewarning lamp also comes on when the ignition is switched on.
Therefore, the spanner may come on if you have exceeded the period since the last service, as indicated in the maintenance and warranty guide. For Blue HDi versions, the spanner may also come on early, according to the
level of deterioration of the engine oil, which depends on the driving conditions in which the vehicle is used.

3Practical information
AdBlue ® additive and SCR system
for Blue HDi 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 emissions filter (PEF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue ® containing urea, ® 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 ® 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 ® 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 dealer to have the necessary top-up carried out.
Once the AdBlue ® tank is empty, ® 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 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.
