Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level,
and top-up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .

AdBlue® additive 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
e m pt y.
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.
Practical information

285
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap07_info-pratiques_ed02-2016
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 of fluid. Important:
when topping-up after
running out of AdBlue®, signalled
by the message "Top-up AdBlue:
Starting prevented", you must wait
for approximately 5 minutes before
switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver's door, unlocking
the vehicle, placing the key of the
"Keyless Entr y and Star ting" system
inside the vehicle or inser ting the
electronic key in the reader.
Switch on the ignition, wait for
10

seconds, then start the engine.
If any fluid is spilt or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.
