Practical information
7Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly locked,
verifying the follow points:
– the green mark on the wheel is in line with
the green mark on the towball,
– the wheel is in contact with the towball,
– the key lock is closed and the key removed;
the wheel can no longer be operated,
– the towball must not be able to move in its
carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle (the Gross Vehicle
Weight - GVW), the trailer, or the sum of the
two (the Gross Train Weight - GTW).
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on a
towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in the
carrier. This measure applies particularly where
the towball might obscure visibility of the number
plate or its lighting.

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
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank
holding about 19 litres.
It has an external filler neck, located in the fuel
filler flap under the filler neck of the fuel tank,
closed by a blue cap.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 3,700 miles (6,000 km) ( which
may vary considerably depending on the
driving style and the type of vehicle).
An alert system is triggered when the remaining
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400 km), i.e. once
the reserve level has been reached.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a
system required by legislation 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 a distance of 250 miles (400
km), a system will be triggered automatically
to prevent engine starting.
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 reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
– Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue
® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
It is possible to obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a service station equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
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.

In the event of a breakdown
8► 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.
After use, do not discard the cartridge in standard waste, take it to a
CITROËN dealer or an authorised waste
disposal site.
Spare wheel
Parking
► Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable and
non-slippery.
► If the road is sloping or damaged, place an
object under the wheels to act as a chock.
► With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
then switch off the ignition to block the wheels.
► Apply the parking brake and check that the
warning lamp is on in the instrument panel.
► The passengers must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
► Put on the high visibility vest and signal that
the vehicle is immobile by using the devices
envisaged by the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving (warning triangle,
hazard warning lamps, etc.).
► Equip yourself with the tools.
Special feature with pneumatic
suspension
If fitted to the vehicle, activate the vehicle lifting
mode before lifting the vehicle with a jack.
For right-hand drive vehicles, the buttons are
located on the right of the steering wheel.
► With the ignition on, press both buttons 1 and
2 simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
Their indicator lamps light up, and remain fixed.
► To exit this mode, press buttons 1 and 2
simultaneously for an additional 5 seconds.
Their indicator lamps go out and the system
becomes fully operational again.
This mode is automatically deactivated if you
exceed the speed by about 3 mph (5 km/h).
Once the vehicle is well secured, proceed in the
following order:
1- Getting the tools.
2- Removing the spare wheel from its
housing.
3- Positioning the jack.
4- Replacing the wheel to be repaired.
5- Storing the wheel to be repaired.

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
