Trip computer, a few definitions
Range
(miles or km)
T he distance which can still be
t
ravelled with the fuel remaining
i
n the tank (related to the
a
verage fuel consumption over
t
he last few miles (kilometres)
t
ravelled).
This
value may vary following a change
i
n
the
style of driving or the relief,
r
esulting in a significant change in the
c
urrent
fuel consumption.
When
the
range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
d

are
displayed. After filling with at least
5
litres
of
fuel,
the range is recalculated and is
d

If
you want to modify the factory setting, turn
t
he screw on each jet anti-clockwise, towards
t

t
he "-" to lower it.
Headlamp wash
F Pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards y

A
few moments after releasing the wiper stalk,
t
here is a last wipe to clear any runs from the

headlamps operate when the vehicle is m
oving and when the dipped beam headlamps
a
re on. However, to reduce the consumption
o
f screenwash fluid, the headlamp wash only
o
perates with every 7th use of the screenwash
o
r once every 25 miles (40 km), during a given

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
o
r more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
p
articularly under arduous condition
(
high loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
See
the "Identification markings"
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the
o
il level indicator in the instrument
p
anel for vehicles so equipped, or
u
sing the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
s
tandard, without adversely affecting the
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
e
ngines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip its vehicles with an effective system that
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
w
ith a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea,
a
catalytic
converter
turns
up to 85%
o
f
nitrous
oxides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen and
w
ater,
which
are
harmless
to
health and the
e
nvironment. The
AdBlue
® additive is held in a special t
ank
located
under the boot at the rear of
t
he
vehicle.
It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
p
rovides
a
driving range of about 12 500 miles
(
20
000
km),
after which an alert is triggered
w
arning
you
when the reserve remaining is
e
nough
for
just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During
each
scheduled service of your vehicle
b
y
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
t
he
AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If
the
estimated mileage between two services
i
s
greater
than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
r
ecommend
that you go to a CITROËN dealer
o
r
a
qualified workshop to have the necessary
t
op-up
carried out. Once
the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
required
by regulations
p
revents
starting
of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your vehicle will no
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: you
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
w
ith
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop
as
soon as possible: after
a
running
distance of 650 miles
(
1 100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.

Range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after d
etection
of
a
fault with the SCR emissions
c
ontrol
system,
when the ignition is switched
o
n,
an
indicator
displays an estimate of the
d
istance
that
can
be covered, the range, before
e
ngine
starting
is
prevented.
In
the
event
of
simultaneous system fault and
l
ow
AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is t
he
one
displayed. Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When
the ignition is switched on, no
i
nformation on range is displayed automatically
i
n the instrument panel.
With the type 2 instrument panel, pressing this
b
utton temporarily displays the driving range.
Above
3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
s
pecified.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
The engine start prevention system required by regulations is activated
a
utomatically once the AdBlue
® tank is e
m pt y.
