2018 CITROEN C-ELYSÉE fuel filter

7
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.) and obser ve the schedule of
operations in the manufacturer's service
schedule. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
With a BlueHDi diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to bring your
vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions back in line
with regulations.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,800
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

Eco-driving

47
Turn off the defrosting of the rear
screen and side mirrors (depending on
the version) as soon as you consider it
necessary.
Because lower energy consumption
reduces fuel consumption.Advice
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and the
air extractor located in the back free from
obstructions.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F

T
o prevent misting or deteriorating
air quality inside the passenger
compartment, you should not deactivate
the system for too long and avoid
extended operation of the air recirculation
system when driving.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits). F
T o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, you are also advised
to have it checked regularly according
to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide
recommendations.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.

AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR System
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
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 contained in a special tank

with a capacity of around 17 litres. This
capacity allows a driving range of around
12,000

miles (20,000 km). An alert system is
triggered automatically once the reser ve level
is reached: you can then drive for a further
1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
completely empty.
During each scheduled ser vice 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 distance travelled by your
vehicle between two ser vices is greater than
12,000

miles (20,000 km), it will be necessary
to top up the AdBlue.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the new Euro 6

standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or
fuel consumption its diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
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 shows the
distance you can travel before the vehicle
is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.
Filling the AdBlue
® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Practical information

Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the components of the system (pump, reser voir,
pipes, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive level
(with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of the ser vice warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
