Reversing camera (Tourer)
A reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed in the navigation
screen.The space between the blue lines represents
the width of your vehicle except for the door
mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of
about
1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The projected lines displayed in the
screen do not allow the vehicle to
be placed relative to tall obstacles
(vehicles that are close for example).
Deformation of the image is normal.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a sponge and a soft cloth.
When cleaning the vehicle with a high
pressure jet wash, keep the lance
at least 30 cm from the lens of the
camera.
This system is a driving aid that does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver, who must retain
control of their vehicle at all times.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.Switching to economy mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth
® hands-
free system of your audio system.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-

f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately
thirty
m

inutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.

AdBlue® 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.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment. The AdBlue
® is held in a special tank with
a capacity of about 17 litres: this provides
a driving range of about 12 500 miles
(20

000

km). An alert is triggered automatically
to warn you when the reserve level is
reached: you can then drive about 1 500 miles
(2

400

km) before the tank is empty.
During each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage of your vehicle
between two services is greater than
12

500

miles (20 000 km), it will be necessary
to top-up the AdBlue
®. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
s
ystem required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR

system is faulty, the level
of emissions from your vehicle will no
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your
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.
In either case, a range indicator gives
you the distance you can travel before
the vehicle is immobilised.

AdBlue® fluid range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically
in the instrument panel.
Pressing this button displays the driving range
temporarily.
Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
specified.
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.

When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Top-up emissions additive: Starting
prevented in 900 miles") indicating the
remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
200 miles (300 km) until the fluid has been
topped-up.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue
® topped-up.
You can also top-up the tank yourself.
For more information on AdBlue
® and the SCR
system, and in particular on topping-up the
AdBlue
®, refer to the corresponding section. When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Top-up emissions additive: Starting
prevented in 350 miles") indicating the
remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds until the fluid has been topped-up.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue
® topped-up.
You can also top-up the tank yourself.
Other wise you will not be able to restart your
engine. When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of the message "Top-up
emissions additive: Starting prevented".
The AdBlue
® tank is empty: the system required
by regulations prevents engine starting.
To be able to start the engine,
we recommend that you call on
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for the top-up required.
If you carry out the top-up yourself, it
is essential to add at least 3.8 litres of
AdBlue
® to the tank.
Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)Remaining range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue®
For more information on AdBlue® and the SCR
system, and in particular on topping-up the
AdBlue
®, refer to the corresponding section.

Every time the ignition is switched on, these
warning lamps come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented".You have exceeded the authorised
driving limit: the starting prevention
system inhibits engine starting. Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater
for the AdBlue
® tank, allowing you
to continue driving in all weather
conditions.
Starting prevented
To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
