During a manoeuvre, the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering
wheel, do not place your hand between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch
out for anything likely to block the
manoeuvre (loose and bulky clothing,
scar ves, ties, etc.) – Risks of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to monitor
the state of the traffic continuously,
especially vehicles coming towards you.
The driver should check that no object
or person can hinder the advance of the
vehicle.
The images from the camera(s) displayed
on the touch screen may be distorted by
the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and

The manoeuvre can be interrupted definitively
at any time, either by the driver or by the
system automatically. By the driver's action:

The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components 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)
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the 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
17
litres.
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 empty.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired 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
685
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.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance 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 Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
Practical information

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 very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® is
topped up as soon as the first alert is
issued indicating that the reser ve level has
been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-
U
se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
-
N
ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-
N
ever dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a ser vice station
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles. Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in
a cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never keep containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Precautions in use
If swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth with
clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of ammonia being released
cannot be discounted: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of reach of children, in
its original container or bottle.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.
In winter, check that the temperature of the
vehicle is above -11°C. If not, due to freezing,
the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into the tank.
Park your vehicle somewhere warmer for a few
hours before topping up.
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid 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 running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15
minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention. In the event of an AdBlue
® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5
litres.

Light-emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Types of bulb
Various types of bulb are fitted to your vehicle.
To remove them:

Halogen bulbs must be changed with the
lamp off for a few minutes (risk of severe
burns). Do not touch the bulb directly, use
a lint-free cloth.
When each operation has been
completed, check the operation of the
lighting.
All glass bulb: pull gently as it is fitted by
pressure.
Bayonet bulb: press on the bulb then turn it
anti-clockwise. Halogen bulb: release the retaining spring from
its housing.
Halogen bulb: turn the bulb anti-clockwise.
Opening the bonnet /Access to bulbs
With the engine warm, proceed with
caution – risk of burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the
cooling fan – risk of strangulation!
After changing a bulb
When refitting, close the protective cover
very carefully to guarantee the sealing of
the lamp.

Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is flat, the engine
can be started using a backup battery (external
or from another vehicle) and jump leads or a
battery booster. Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the backup battery has
a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.

the vehicle. F
