reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance 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
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the bonnet,
close to the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, the filter
must be purged to remove water.
You can also purge the fuel filter regularly, every
time the engine oil is changed.
Bleeding the water in the filter
► Couple a clear hose to the bleed screw
1head.
► Place the other end of the clear hose in a
container.
► Loosen bleed screw 2.
► Switch on the ignition.
► Wait for the scavenge pump to stop.
► Switch off the ignition.
► Tighten bleed screw 2.
► Remove, then drain the clear hose and the
container.
► Start the engine.
► Check that there are no leaks.
HDi engines make use of advanced
technology. Any intervention requires a
special qualification guaranteed by the
CITROËN dealer network or a qualified
workshop .
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
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.
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 the
braking and road holding performance 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.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

In the event of a breakdown
Temporary puncture repair kit
This temporary puncture repair kit is stored in a
bag, placed in one of the front doors.
It includes:
– a cartridge A, containing the sealant, equipped
with: • a filling pipe B,
• a sticker C indicating "50 mph (80 km/h)
max.", which the driver must apply within
their field of vision (on the dashboard) after
having repaired the tyre,
– a quick user guide for the repair kit,
– a compressor D equipped with a pressure
gauge and connections,
– adapters, for the inflation of various
components.
Repairing a tyre
► Apply the parking brake.
► Unscrew the cap of the tyre valve, remove
filling hose B and screw ring E onto the valve.
► Make sure compressor switch F is in
position 0 (off).
► Start the engine.
► Insert plug G into the nearest socket on the
vehicle.
► Operate the compressor by setting switch F
to position I (on).
► Inflate the tyre to a pressure of 5 bar.
To obtain a more accurate reading, it is
recommended to check the pressure value on
pressure gauge H, with the compressor off.
► If a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached
within 5 minutes, disconnect the compressor
from the valve and the power socket, then move
the vehicle forwards by approximately 10 metres,
to disperse the sealant inside the tyre.
► Then repeat the inflation procedure:
• if a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached
within 10 minutes, stop your vehicle: the tyre
is too damaged and could not be repaired.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
• if the tyre pressure has reached 5 bar,
restart immediately.
► After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the tyre pressure again.
► Restore the correct pressure in accordance
with the label on the driver's side pillar and
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This puncture repair kit and the replacement cartridges are available
from a CITROËN dealer.
Checking and restoring
pressure
The compressor can only be used to check and
restore pressure.
► Disconnect hose I and directly connect it
to the tyre valve; the cartridge will thereby be
connected to the compressor and the sealant will
not be injected.
If the tyre needs to be deflated, connect hose
I to the tyre valve and press the yellow button
located in the centre of the compressor switch.
Replacing the cartridge
To replace the sealant cartridge, proceed as
follows:
► Disconnect the hose I.
► Turn the cartridge to be replaced anti-
clockwise and lift it.
► Insert the new cartridge and turn it clockwise,
► Reconnect the hose I and connect pipe B to
its location.
The cartridge contains ethylene glycol, which is harmful if swallowed and irritates
the eyes.
It must be kept out of the reach of children.

In the event of a breakdown
► Lightly tighten using wheelbrace D and wheel
bar B.
► Lower the vehicle using wheelbrace D and
wheel bar B, and then remove the jack.
► Tighten the bolts again using wheelbrace D
and wheel bar B.
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked by
the Manufacturer's dealer network or a
qualified workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
refitted on the vehicle as soon as possible.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
5 - Storing the wheel to be
repaired
You must reposition the wheel to be repaired or
the spare wheel under the vehicle to lock the
winch system.
Check that it is securely fastened in its
compartment under the floor.
Improper wheel positioning can compromise
safety.
► Reposition the wheel at the rear of the
vehicle.
With steel wheels:
► Hang bracket I on the outer part.
► Screw handle H to secure the bracket and
the steel wheel.
With alloy wheels:
► Position bracket J on caliper I.
► Screw handle H.
► Screw the three fixing bolts K of caliper I onto
the alloy wheel.
► Install extended socket A, wheelbrace D and
wheel bar B on the retaining bolt.
► Turn the assembly clockwise to completely
wind up the cable and raise the wheel as far as
possible under the vehicle.
► Check that the wheel is flat against the floor
of the vehicle and that the notch G of the winch
is visible.
► Store the tools and the wheel trim (depending
on version).
For more information on
the Identification markings of the
vehicle, and in particular the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
► do not clean them using a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent or
solvent product,
► use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
► when using a high pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the lamps or their edges for
too long, so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes - Risk
of serious burns!
► Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
with the same type and specification.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the glass
of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
