Gear shift indicator*
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   (or   more)   gear(s).   You   can  
f

ollow   this   instruction   without   engaging   the  
i

ntermediate
 g
ears.
The
  gear   engagement   recommendations   must  
n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
c

onfiguration   of   the   road,   the   amount   of   traffic  
a

nd   safety   remain   determining   factors   when  
c

hoosing   the   best   gear.   Therefore,   the   driver  
r

emains   responsible   for   deciding   whether   or   not  
t

o   follow   the   advice   given   by   the   system.
This
  function   cannot   be   deactivated. -
 
Y
ou   press   the   accelerator   pedal.
Example:
-
 Y ou   are   in   third   gear.
-
 
T
he   system   may   suggest   that   you   engage  
a

  higher   gear.
The
  information   appears   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   in   the   form   of   an   arrow.
System
  which   reduces   fuel   consumption   by   recommending   the   most   appropriate   gear.
With   an   automatic   gearbox,   the   system   is   only  
a

ctive   in   manual   mode.
* Depending
  on   engine.
On
  vehicle   fitted   with   a   manual   gearbox,  
t

he   arrow   may   be   accompanied   by   the   gear  
re

commended. The
  system   adapts   its   gear   change  
r

ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (slope,   load, ...)   and  
t

he   demands   of   the   driver   (power,  
a

cceleration,   braking, ...).
The
  system   never   suggests:
-
 
e
ngaging   first   gear,
-

Operation
On BlueHDi Diesel 150 versions with
manual  gearbox,   the   system   may  
s

uggest   changing   into   neutral   so   that  
t

he   engine   can   go   into   standby   (STOP  
m

ode   with   Stop   &   Start),   in   certain  
d

riving   conditions.   In   this   case,   N is
displayed
  in   the   instrument   panel.

If your vehicle is fitted with the
system,
  a   time   counter   calculates

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the p
ressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The
  system   continuously   monitors   the  
p

ressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle
  is   moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each
  tyre   (except   the   spare   wheel).
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   if   a   drop   in  
p

ressure   is   detected   in   one   or   more   tyres.
The
  tyre   under-inflation   detection   system   is   an  
a

id   to   driving   which   does   not   replace   the   need  
f

or   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.This
  system   does   not   avoid   the   need  
t

o   check   the   tyre   pressures   regularly  
(

including   the   spare   wheel)   and   before  
a

  long   journey.
Driving   with   under-inflated   tyres  
a

dversely   affects   road   holding,  
e

xtends   braking   distances   and   causes  
p

remature   tyre   wear,   particularly   under  a
rduous   conditions   (vehicle   loaded,  h
igh   speed,   long   journey).The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be
  found   on   the   tyre   pressure   label.
The   tyre   pressures   must   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   cold   (vehicle   stopped  
f

or   1   hour   or   after   driving   for   less   then  
6

  miles   (10   km)   at   moderate   speed).  
O

ther wise,   add   0.3   bar   to   the   values  
i

ndicated   on   the   label.
For m ore i nformation o n id entification m
arkings,   including   the   tyre   pressure  
l

abel,   refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres

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 urea, a
 
catalytic
 
converter
 
turns
 
up
 
to
 
85%   of   nitrous o

xides
 
(NOx)
 
into
 
nitrogen
 
and
 
water,   which   are
 h

armless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment.
The AdBlue® additive is held in a special
tank
 
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   prevents  
s

tarting
 
of
 
the
 
engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissions
 
from
 
your   vehicle   will   no  
l

onger
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   your  
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.
Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
The AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures   below   around   -11°C.
The
 
SCR
 
system   includes   a   heater  
f

or the AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
 
driving   in   very   cold   conditions.

Identification markings
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under
the bonnet.
This
  number   is   engraved   on   the   bodywork   near  
t

he   suspension   damper   mounting.
B.

V
ehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
This
  number   is   indicated   on   a   self-adhesive  
l

abel   which   is   visible   through   the   windscreen. D. Tyre/paint label.
This
  label   is   affixed   to   the   driver's   front   pillar.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The   VIN   is   indicated   on   a   self-destroying   label  
a

ffixed   to   the   driver's   centre   pillar.It
  bears   the   following   information:
-
t
he tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,
-  
t
he   tyre   sizes   (including   the   load   index   and  
s

peed
 ra
ting),
-
t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-  
t
he   paint   colour   code.
The   tyre   pressures   must   be   checked w

hen the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
