Carbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust.
This
water vapour does not
have any adverse ef
fect on vehicle
handling
or the environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to
check
the thickness of the pads, even
between
services.
Unless
there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop
in the brake fluid level indicates
that
the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer
.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
of the system, the parking
brake
should be adjusted, even between
services.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
An
access
flap
allows
replacement
of
the
filters.
The
carbon
filter
permits
continuous
and
effective
filtering
of
dust.
If
the
passenger
compartment
filter
becomes
blocked,
this
may
reduce
the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
W
e recommend the use of a combined
passenger
compartment
filter.
By
means of its second special active
filter
,
it
contributes
to
the
purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy
deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet
for
the
replacement
interval
for
these
components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...)
and the use of the
vehicle
(urban driving...), change them
twice
as often if necessary.

Good practice
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly
advise you not to use high
pressure washing to clean the engine
compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or
in
winter, ice may form on the brake
discs
and pads: braking efficiency may
be
reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on,
bleed
the
filter.
Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine
oil
is
changed.
HDi engines use advanced
technology.
All
work
requires
special training, so should be
entrusted
to
a
CITROËN
dealer.
Depending
on
country
of
sale.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw
located
on
the
filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows
in
the
transparent
pipe,
then
tighten
the
bleed
screw.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of
units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of
fers
specific products.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open
the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert
the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove
the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap. When
filling with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening
of the left-hand side door.
When
the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that
no one tries to slide this door.
Once
the flap has been closed, the
sliding
side door may jam, push the
door
to close it then open it.
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes
on. A
label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
Y
ou must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for
it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When
the fuel filler cap is opened,
there
may be a slight inrush of air.
This
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to
the
sealing of the fuel system.
When
filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
This
could
cause malfunctions.
The
capacity
of
the
fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres
according
to
version).
-
After
filling
the
fuel tank, lock the
cap
and
close
the flap.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of
fuel
remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out
of
fuel.
Never
risk
driving
until
you
run
out
of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control
and
injection
systems.

octane rating, specific sales
name…) to ensure correct operation
of the engine.
For any additional information, contact
your
dealer.

BLUEHDI AND ADBLUE®
SCR technology
AdBlue® is the brand name of the
solution needed for operation of the
SCR
system.
The aim of BlueHDi is to reduce the
emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in
the air by up to 90%, using a system
that converts NOx into water vapour
and nitrogen in a dedicated catalytic
converter:
SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This
objective meets the "Euro 6"
emissions standard adopted by the
European Union aimed at limiting the
emissions of pollutants from internal
combustion
engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi
engines
involves the injection of
AdBlue® into the exhaust system.
BlueHDi vehicles have a specific
AdBlue® additive tank with a capacity
of 17 litres .
It
has
an exterior filler with a blue filler
cap, located to the left of the Diesel
fuel
filler cap.
Filling of the AdBlue
® tank can be done using 5 or 10 litre containers,
1.89
litre
bottles,
or
when at a fuel
fillin
g
station
equipped with a special
AdBlue® delivery pump for light
vehicles.
This operation can also be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Please note that the high delivery
pumps
at some filling stations,
intended only for lorries and coaches,
are not suitable for cars or light
commercial
vehicles.
Never
use these pumps.

While the quantity of AdBlue® in
the
additive
tank
is
sufficient,
no
information
is
displayed.
On

hand,
once
the
fluid
level drops to the quantity needed
for
a
range
of
1
500
miles
(2
400
km)
driving, you are warned by dif
ferent
temporary signals (warning lamp,
message,
audible
signal).
As more miles are covered, these
signals intensify and the message
becomes
permanent.
When the AdBlue
® tank is empty, restarting
becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the AdBlue
® additive,
but
do
this
as
soon
as
possible.
Filling the AdBlue® tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre
containers
and
1.89
litre
(1/2 US gallon)
bottles are available
from CITROËN dealers, until they are
equipped
with AdBlue

pipe,
which
may or may
