Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
d

uring regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITROËN dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams,...).

Good practice
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise
you not to use high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
o

perate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
o

n acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
H
d i engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
special training, so should be
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer.
Depending on country of sale. Only use products recommended by
CITR
o Ë n or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specific products.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open the fuel filler flap.
-


Insert the key
, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-

Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When fillin

g with fuel, with the fuel
filler flap open, ensure that no one
attempts to open the sliding side
door.
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems.Fuel used for petrol engines
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,
there may be a slight inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to
the sealing of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
-

After fillin

g the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the flap. The petrol engines are compatible
with E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 %
ethanol), conforming to European
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The
quality of the ethanol must comply with
European standard EN 15293.

BLUEHDI
AND A D B LUE
®
SCR technology
adBlue® is the brand name of the
solution needed for operation of the
SCR system. BlueHDi vehicles have a specific
a

dBlue
® additive tank with a capacity
of 17 litres.
It has an exterior filler with a blue filler
cap, located to the left of the
d iesel
fuel filler cap.
Filling of the
a

dBlue
® tank can be
done using 5 or 10 litre containers,
1.89 litre bottles, or when at a fuel
filling station equipped with a special
a

dBlue
® delivery pump for light
vehicles.
The aim of BlueHDi is to reduce the
emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in
the air by up to 90%, using a system
that converts
no
x into water vapour
and nitrogen in a dedicated catalytic
converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6"
emissions standard adopted by the
European Union aimed at limiting the
emissions of pollutants from internal
combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueH
d
i
engines involves the injection of
a

dBlue
® into the exhaust system.
This operation can also be carried
out by a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Please note that the high delivery
pumps at some filling stations,
intended only for lorries and coaches,
are not suitable for cars or light
commercial vehicles.
Never use these pumps.

Good practice
While the quantity of
a
dBlue® in
the additive tank is sufficient, no
information is displayed.
On the other hand, once the fluid
level drops to the quantity needed
for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
driving, you are warned by dif
ferent
temporary signals (warning lamp,
message, audible signal).
As more miles are covered, these
signals intensify and the message
becomes permanent.
When the
a
dBlue
® tank is empty,
restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the
a

dBlue
® additive,
but do this as soon as possible.
Filling the AdBlue
® tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre
containers and 1.89 litre (1/2 US
gallon) bottles are available from
CITR
o
Ë
n
dealers, until they are
equipped with
a
dBlue
® delivery pumps.
If you want to fill the AdBlue® tank
yourself, ensure that you have a
suitable filler pipe, which may or may
not be supplied with the additive
container.

keep adBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
n

ever transfer a dBlue
® to another
container: it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the fluid with water.
Never pour the fluid into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Recommendations on storage
never store containers or bottles of a dBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
adBlue® freezes at about -11°C (12.2° F)
and deteriorates above 25°C (77°F).
It is recommended that containers and
bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can
be kept for at least a year
.
a

dditive that has been frozen can be
used once it has thawed out in ambient
air. The SCR system includes an
a

dBlue
® tank heater that ensures
operation of the vehicle in normal
conditions.
In exceptional situations, such
as when the vehicle is kept at
temperatures below -15°C (5°F) for a
long period, there may be an emission
fault alert related to freezing of the
a

dBlue
® additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more
moderate temperature for a few hours
until the
a dBlue
® becomes a fluid
again.
The emissions warning lamp does not
go off immediately, but does so after a
few miles of driving.
