Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100
km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Electronic gearbox
Electronic gearbox with 6 speeds, with
electronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear
changes via control paddles situated behind
the steering wheel.

To safely operate the gear selector, it is
recommended that you keep your foot on
the brake pedal.

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

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.
