Operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust / particle filter system.
Have the whole system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
Saturation /
r
egeneration
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles,
...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire.
Particle filter system (diesel)
An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena -
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature
- which does not affect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment. After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally
notice water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle or
to the environment. To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a speed of at least
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the
message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It
is not recommended to end regeneration of
the filter with the vehicle stationary.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams etc.)

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures. With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key. When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on.
You then have around 10 to
12 litres in the reserve, depending on the
capacity of the tank, the engine type, the
driving conditions and the profile of the road.
Refuel without delay to avoid running out of
fuel.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities, 60 and
120 litres, may be fitted. The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.
-
Open the fuel filler flap.
-
Support the black cap with one hand.
-
With the other hand, insert the key
, then
turn it anticlockwise.
-
Remove the black cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
-
After filling the fuel tank, lock the black
cap and close the flap.
BlueH d i and AdBlue additive
The blue cap is only present on BlueHDi

For more information, refer to the "AdBlue

precautions mentioned on the labels,
refer to the "Quick help - Label glossary"
section.

FuEL SYS t EM cut- OFF
After the collision and before restore
these supplies, check that there is no
fuel leak or sparks, to avoid the risk of fire. In the event of a collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply
from the engine and cuts off the vehicle's
electrical supply
It triggers operation of the hazard warning
lamps and courtesy lamps, and unlocking of
the doors. To restore the fuel supply, press the first
button, located below the steering wheel.
Then to restore the electrical power
supply, press the second button, located
in the battery compartment under the front
passenger's floor (Minibus).
On other versions, the second button is
replaced by a fuse; contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

refilling / topping-up the
AdBlue® additive
Precautions to take
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
The AdBlue
® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable, colourless and
odourless.
To be kept in a cool area.
c
ontainers (5 or 10 litres) and
bottles
(1.89 litres) of AdBlue
®
Please check the use-by date.
Read the instructions on the label.
Ensure that you have a suitable filler pipe,
which may or may not be supplied with the
container. Park the vehicle
-
Before topping-up, ensure that the
vehicle is parked on a flat and level
surface.

Open the fuel filler flap.

-
Obtain a bottle of
AdBlue
®. After first
checking the use-by date, read carefully
the instructions on use on the label
before pouring the contents of the bottle
into your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Important: if your vehicle's AdBlue
®
tank is completely empty - which is
confirmed by the alert messages and the
impossibility of starting the engine, you
must add at least 3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre
bottles).
-
After emptying the bottle, wipe away any
spillage around the tank filler using a
damp cloth.
If any additive is split or splashed,
wash immediately with cold water or
wipe with a damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.

refit the filler cap
-
Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it
a 6
th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
-
Close the filler flap.
Never dispose of
AdBlue
® additive
bottles in the household waste. Place
them in a special container provided this
purpose or take them to your dealer.
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another container:
it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel fuel
tank.
recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle. Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
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 additive can be
kept for at least a year.
Additive that has been frozen can be used
once it has thawed out in ambient air. The SCR system includes an AdBlue
®
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
AdBlue
® additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more
moderate temperature for a few hours until
the additive becomes a liquid again.
The emissions warning lamp does not go off
immediately, but does so after a few miles
of driving.

The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
After refitting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).
It is advisable to disconnect the
negative (-) terminal of the battery if the
vehicle is not to be used for a period of
more than one month.
The description of the battery charging
procedure is given as an indication only.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:
-
the display parameters (date, time,
language, distance unit and temperature
unit),
-
the radio stations,
-
the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed, consult a CITROËN.
If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph or
an alarm, disconnection of the negative (-)
terminal of the battery (located under the
floor on the left-hand side, in the cab) is
recommended if the vehicle is not to be used
for a period of more than 5 days.
