The AdBlue® tank is empty: the starting
inhibition system required by legislation
prevents starting of the engine.
To be able to restart the engine, it is
essential to add at least 4
litres of AdBlue
®
to its tank.
In the event of a fault with the
SCR emissions control system
An engine immobiliser is activated
automatically after you have driven a
further 685
miles (1,100 km) following
confirmation of a fault with the SCR
emissions control system. Have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
In the event of the detection of a fault If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault". The alert is triggered while driving as soon
as the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
During the permitted driving phase
(between 685
and 0 miles (1,100 km
and 0 km))While driving, the message is displayed every
30
seconds while the fault with the SCR
emissions control system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the
vehicle.
If a fault with the system SCR is confirmed
(after around 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), these warning lamps come on and the
AdBlue warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
an audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
190
miles (300 km)") indicating the remaining
range expressed in miles or kilometres. Starting prevented
You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting prevention system does
not allow the engine to be started. To
be able to restart the engine, you must
call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Each time the ignition is switched on, these
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented".

Gear efficiency indicator
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to skip one or several gears.
You can follow this instruction without engaging
the intermediate gears.On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral
(N is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (STOP mode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
Gear engagement recommendations
are only optional.
In fact, the configuration of the road,
the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear.
The gear efficiency indicator system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver. Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
With a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended. The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.

Reversing camera with
display in the interior
mirror
The visual reversing assistance camera is
activated automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The function may be supplemented by parking
sensors.They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position
of the vehicle to be determined relative to
tall obstacles (for example: other
vehicles).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
It is normal to see part of the number plate
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Opening the tailgate or rear door
(depending on equipment) can interfere
with the display.
If a side door is open, allow for the space
it occupies. Check the cleanliness of the camera lens
regularly.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The image is displayed in the interior mirror. The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle including the mirrors.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the thin blue lines
respectively 1 m (
A) and 2 m (
B).

Principle of operation
The images provided by the cameras may
be distorted by the environment (external
conditions, driving mode, etc.).
The presence of areas in shadow, bright
sunlight, or poor lighting conditions may
make the image dark and reduce contrast.
The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
The system is automatically deactivated
about 7
seconds after coming out of
reverse or on opening a door, the boot.
This system allows the near surroundings of the
vehicle to be viewed in the display screen using
a camera located at the rear of the vehicle.
The parking sensors in the rear and/or front
bumper complete the information on the view
from above the vehicle (right-hand part).
In addition to the view from above the vehicle
(right-hand part) several types of view can be
displayed (left-hand part):
-
s
tandard rear view,
-
1
80° rear view,
-
r
ear zoom view. The system displays the contextual view
(left-hand part) as well as the view from above
the vehicle in its close surroundings.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information received from the parking sensors.
The 180° view is only available via the menus. Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during a
manoeuvre. An image from above your vehicle
in its close surroundings is reconstructed
(represented between the blue brackets) in real
time and as the vehicle progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically erased if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.

Engage reverse gear to activate the camera,
located on the boot or
"Standard view""180° view"
The area to the rear of your vehicle is displayed
in the screen.
The blue outline represents the width of your
vehicle (with mirrors): its orientation depends
on the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30
cm
from the rear bumper and the two blue lines,
1
m and 2 m respectively.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selection of the view in the change view menu. 180° view makes it possible to reverse out of
a parking space while being able to see the
arrival of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out
a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of the following:
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
It is important to check the side views
using the mirrors during the manoeuvre.
"Zoom view"
The camera memorises the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to
create a view from above the rear of the vehicle
in its near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to
be manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO view or by
selection of the view in the change view menu.

Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units
as important as those in the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers very
specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)System SCR
By 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 contained in
a special tank holding about
22
litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of around
6,000-9,000
miles (10,000-15,000
km). An
alert system is triggered automatically when
the remaining range reaches 1,500
miles
(2,400
km), i.e. once the reser ve level has been
reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500
miles (2,400 km) before
the tank is empty.
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 of 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.
Practical information
251
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, 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 travelling the distance of
685
miles (1,100
km), a system preventing
the engine starting will be triggered
automatically.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
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.
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 (so two 1.89 litre bottles).
Topping up with AdBlue®
Given the capacity of the tank, it may be
necessary to top up the fluid between ser vices,
more particularly if an alert (warning lamps and
a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
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.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept
in a cool area).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. In the event
of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the
eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye
wash solution for at least 15
minutes. If you feel
a persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention. Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO 22241
standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapours.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
