You have exceeded the authorised
driving limit: the starting prevention
system inhibits engine starting.
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning
lamps come on and the UREA warning lamp
flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and
the display of the message "Emissions fault:
Starting prevented". Starting prevented
To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
The
a
d
blu

e
® additive freezes at
temperatures below around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater
for the
a
dbl

166
Filling the adblue® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on your
vehicle by a CITR
oËn

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
ne

vertheless, 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 CITR
oËn

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
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.
a
m
monia vapour has en irritant
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
throat).
Precautions in use
keep a dblu e® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
ne

ver transfer a d
blu
e
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Use only
a d
blu
e
® additive that meets
the ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute the additive with water.
ne

ver pour the additive into the d
i
esel
fuel tank.
ne

ver top-up from an a
dbl
ue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US
gallon) bottles from a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop.

F Start the compressor by placing the switch at the " I" position and adjust the pressure
to the value shown on the vehicle's tyre
pressure label.
T

compressor pipe, at the valve connector.
F
o
n
ce the correct pressure is reached, put
the switch to the " O" position.

R
emove the kit then stow it. Should the pressure of one or more
tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to
reinitialise the under-inflation detection
system.
Refer to the "Under-inflation detection"
section.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning
lamp will remain on until the system is
reinitialised.
For more information, refer to the
"Under-inflation detection" section.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
as t
he fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
