Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
e
xceed it.
In
addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
w
ait
at
least one hour after switching off the
e
ngine
before carrying out any work.
To
avoid
any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
b
y
two
turns to allow the pressure to drop.
W
hen the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap
and
top-up the level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's r ecommendations.
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. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
t
he coolant is regulated by the fan.To p p i n g - u p
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay
by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
w
arning lamp, accompanied by an
a
udible signal and a message that
t
he particle filter additive level is
too low.
The
warning lamp comes on when the ignition
i
s
switched on, or every time the stalk is
o
perated,
until the reservoir is refilled.
Next
time
you stop, refill the screenwash /
h
eadlamp
wash reservoir.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reservoir low level is reached this
warning
lamp comes on in the
in
strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
signal and a message. Avoid
prolonged contact of used oil or
f
luids 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
a
uthorised waste disposal site.

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
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines,
CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip 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 a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a c
atalytic
converter
turns
up
to 85% of nitrogen
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
p
revents
starting
of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no
longer
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: you
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault
with
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o 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
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.
