2020 CITROEN DISPATCH SPACETOURER DAG ad blue

181
As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch
screen using a camera located at the rear of
the vehicle.
The screen is divided into two parts: on the left,
a contextual view ; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings. Different contextual views can be displayed in
the left-hand part:
-

s
tandard view,
-
1
80° view,
-
z
oom view.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information transmitted by the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Principle of operation
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre 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 deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
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 or the boot.
Activation
Activation is automatic on engaging reverse at
a speed lower than 6 mph (10 km/h).
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.

Zoom view
The camera records 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 mode or in the
view selection menu.
AUTO mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear view
(standard) to a view from above (zoom), as an
obstacle is approached at the level of the red
line (less than 30
cm) during a manoeuvre.
Standard view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded ; their
direction changes depending on the position of
the steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30
cm
from the bumper
; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1
m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After switching off the engine and for a
maximum cumulative period of around
40 minutes, you can continue to use functions
such as the audio and telematics system,
the wipers, the dipped beam headlamps, the
courtesy lamps, etc.
Switching to this 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 the mode
These functions will be automatically
reactivated the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f
or less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5


minutes,
-

f
or more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30


minutes.A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12
V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning
and the heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit. 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.
Roof bars/Roof rack
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the roof bars and racks approved for the
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars and racks.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before
each trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.

This additive must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
For more information on the Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi) ,
and in particular on the supply of AdBlue, refer
to the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by 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
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections
are clean.
For more information on the precautions to
take before any work on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12
V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty
atmosphere, city driving), change it
twice as often if necessar y .
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty
atmosphere, city driving), change it
twice as often if necessar y .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Practical information

196
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold".
The pressures indicated 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 over 31 mph
(50

km/h), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values
indicated on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 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
the braking and road holding per formance of
the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly
check the condition of the tyres (tread and
sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the
presence of the valves.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of
tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of its 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.
SCR system
Using a liquid 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 holding about
20


litres. Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 4,300
miles (7,000 km)
( highly dependent on your driving style
and the vehicle). An alert system is triggered
automatically when the remaining range
reaches 1,500 miles (2,400 km), i.e. once the
reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before
the tank is empty and the vehicle is disabled.
If the estimated distance travelled by the
vehicle between two ser vices is greater than
3,700 miles (6,000 km), it will be necessary to
top up the AdBlue.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Practical information

197
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 the vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: the 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 a distance
of 685

miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives the
distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
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® be 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.
AdBlue
® can be obtained 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
d
eteriorates above +25 °C. Containers should
be stored in a cool area and protected from
direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a cool place).
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 you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.

Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11
°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and so
cannot be poured into its tank. Park the vehicle
in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the
top-up to be carried out.
Never put the AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there
are any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water. F

Practical information

199
If your vehicle's AdBlue® tank is
completely empty – which is confirmed
by the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting
impossible", you must top up with at least
5


litres.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, you must wait around 5
minutes
before switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver’s door, locking
the vehicle, introducing the key into
the ignition switch, or introducing
the key of the Keyless Entr y and
Star ting system into the passenger
compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10


seconds before starting the engine.
Advice on care
General recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
warranty and maintenance record. Observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging your vehicle:
-

D
o not clean your headlamps with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products. Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product.
-
W
hen using a high-pressure washer on stubborn dirt, avoid prolonged use on the
headlamps, the lamps and their edges to avoid damaging their lacquer finish and seals.
-
N
ever use an abrasive sponge to clean persistent dirt, as this may scratch the paint
sur face. Use a soft cloth with soapy water instead.
-
W
hen washing your vehicle, never clean the interior with a water jet.
-
W
hen washing your vehicle in an automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure to lock your
doors and, depending on version, remove the key and deactivate the " Hands-Free
Access " system.
-
N
ever use high-pressure washing to clean the engine compartment, in order to avoid
damaging the electrical units.
-
L
iquids carried in an open vessel (e.g. a cup or mug) could be spilt, presenting a risk of
damage on contact with the controls in the dashboard and centre console. Be careful.
Depending on version, in order to avoid damaging or unpeeling the stickers on the bodywork,
you are strongly advised against using high-pressure cleaners to wash your vehicle. It is
recommended that you wash it using a high-flow water jet and rinse the vehicle down using
demineralised water.
Only a microfibre cloth is recommended for wiping your vehicle ; it must be clean and used
g e nt l y.
It is always preferable to have paint repairs carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
