flashing, associated
with the SERVICE
warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message indicating that
starting is prevented. The AdBlue
® tank is empty: the
starting inhibition system required
by legislation prevents starting of the
engine. To be able to start the engine, you must top-up the
AdBlue® additive tank: go to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop, or carry out this operation
yourself.
It is essential to add at least 3.8 litres of AdBlue
® to
the additive tank.
For topping-up or for more information on the AdBlue
® additive, refer to the corresponding section.

Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Topping-up the engine oil level

Checks

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter) Used products
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
The additive reservoir low
level is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
multifunction screen.
Checks

147
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by
the temporary illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multifunction
screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph
(60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low
additive level.
For more information on checking levels, refer to
the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.

city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

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. 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: your
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.
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.
Practical information

166
Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures below around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater
for the AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to
continue driving in very cold conditions.
Filling the AdBlue
® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on your
vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, 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 CITROËN 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. Ammonia vapour has en irritant
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
throat).
Precautions in use
Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Use only AdBlue
® additive that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
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 CITROËN

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
