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.

Good practice
While the quantity of AdBlue® in
the
additive
tank
is
sufficient,
no
information
is
displayed.
On
the
other
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
® delivery pumps.
If
you
want
to
fill
the
AdBlue® tank yourself, ensure that you have a
suitable
filler
pipe,
which
may or may
not be supplied with the additive
container
.

Filling
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
Pour
the contents of the container /
bottle
into the dedicated tank.
After
filling the
AdBlue® tank, observe the
following
procedure:
-
Switch on the ignition without
starting.
-
W
ait 10 seconds before starting the
engine.
Never dispose of empty AdBlue
®
containers and 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
fluid
with water.
Never
pour
the
fluid
into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
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 fluid 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 AdBlue
® becomes a fluid again.
The emissions warning lamp does not
go of
f immediately, but does so after a
few
miles
of
driving.
