Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when 
the ignition is switched on using the 
oil level indicator in the instrument 
panel for vehicles so equipped, or 
using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or 
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-  If the level is above the MAX  mark (risk 
of damage to the engine), contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-  If the level is below the MIN  mark, you 
must top up the engine oil.
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your 
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face 
with the engine having been off for more than 
30  minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between 
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN 
recommends that you check the level, and top 
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
F  Locate the dipstick in the engine 
compartment of your vehicle.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" 
section.
F  Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
remove it completely.
F  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean 
non-fluffy cloth.
F  Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then 
pull it out again to make the visual check: 
the correct level is between the marks A 
and B .
A = MaX
B = MI n

adb lue® 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. The ad
blue
® 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 ad blue
® 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. o
nce the a db lue
® tank is empty, a 
system 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: you 
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.

"DAB" does not cover 100% of the

When the digital radio signal is poor, 
"DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you to 
continue listening to the same station, 
by automatically switching to the 
corresponding "FM" analogue station 
(if there is one). If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is activated, 
there is a difference of a few seconds 
when the system switches to "FM" 
analogue radio with sometimes a 
variation in volume.
When the digital signal is restored, the 
system automatically changes back to 
" DA B ".
Digital radio provides higher quality 
reception and also the graphical display 
of current information on the radio 
station being listened to. Select "List" in 
the primary page.
The range of multiplexes available is 
displayed in alphabetical order.
If the "DAB" station being listened to 
is not available on "FM" ("DAB/FM" 
option greyed out), or "DAB / FM auto

will cut out while the digital signal is too 
weak.
