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.

Good practice
While the quantity of AdBlue® in
the
 
additive
 
tank
 
is
 
sufficient,
 
no
 
information

 
is
 
displayed.
On

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

Once the 350 miles (600 km) threshold is reached, the UREA warning lamp
flashes
  and   the   Service   warning   lamp  
comes on, accompanied by a message
on

  the   remaining   driving   range.
The alert is repeated every 30 seconds
with an update of the remaining driving
range
  in   steps   of   30   miles   (50   km)  
travelled.
Every time the ignition is switched
on, the alert is given together with an
audible

  signal.
At 0 miles the system installed in
the vehicle to meet the emissions
standard will prevent engine
starting. Your vehicle's exhaust emissions no
longer meet the "Euro 6" standard and
the
  engine   will   not   start.
To be able to restart the vehicle, you
must add at least 4 litres of AdBlue
®.

Pour

 
the
 
additive
 
into

level
 
has   been   reached.
Avoid waiting until the
remaining range is 0 miles!
The alert is repeated when driving until
the AdBlue
® tank has been topped-up with
 
sufficient   additive.
Unless the additive in the special
additive
 
tank   is   topped-up,   you   risk  
immobilisation

  of   the   vehicle. Following
  this,   make   a   further   fill  to
  the   special   additive   tank,   the  
capacity of which is

17 litres.
Fault with the SCR system
The UREA, Service and diagnostic
warning  lamps   comes   on.
Every time the ignition is switched on,
the
  emissions   fault   is   confirmed   by   an  
audible

  signal   and   a   message.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears as soon as the exhaust
emissions return to the levels required
by
  the   standard.
Detection
On the other hand, if the warning
lamps are still on after 30 miles
(50   km)   of   driving,   the   fault   is  
confirmed.
An engine start prevention system
will be activated automatically after
650 miles

  (1   100   km)   travelled  
following

  this   confirmation.
