Practical information
7AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve 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 in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi),
and in particular 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.
Otherwise, 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.
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
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
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
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
mph
(60

km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about 15
minutes, then drive with an engine speed above
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while

In the event of a breakdown
8Warning triangle
This reflective and dismantable device is to be
installed on the side of the road when a vehicle
is broken down or damaged.
Before getting out of the vehicle
Turn on the hazard warning lamps, then
put on the safety vest to assemble and install
the triangle.
Assembling and placing the triangle


For versions supplied with a triangle as original
equipment, refer to the illustration above.
For other versions, refer to the assembly
instructions provided with the triangle.
►

Put the triangle in place behind the vehicle,
as required by local legislation.
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the
fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), refer to
the corresponding section.
For non-BlueHDi versions, the fuel system
components are located in the engine
compartment; this may be under a removable
cover.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of these components under the bonnet, refer
to the corresponding section.

Bluetooth® audio system
Bluetooth® audio system

As a safety measure and because it requires sustained attention by the driver,
the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile telephone
with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your
audio system must be done with the vehicle
stationary and the ignition on.
Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in your
vehicle.
All work on the system must be carried out
exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop,
to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or
mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few
minutes if the engine is not running.

Radio
Selecting a station
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks,
...) may block reception, including in RDS
mode. This is a normal effect of the way in
which radio waves are transmitted and does
not indicate any failure of the audio
equipment.
Press the SRC/TEL button repeatedly to
select the radio.
Press BAND to select a waveband.
Press LIST to display the list of stations
received, in alphabetical order.
Select the desired radio station by turning
the thumb wheel then confirm by
pressing.

A press changes to the next or previous letter
(e.g. A, B, D, F, G, J, K, ...).
A long press on LIST builds or updates the list of stations; audio reception is cut
momentarily.
RDS
RDS, if displayed, makes it possible to
continue listening to the same radio
station using the alternative frequencies
function. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception of
the station during a journey.
With the radio displayed on the screen,
press OK to display the contextual menu.
Select "RDS" and confirm to save.
"RDS" is displayed in the screen.
Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert messages. To
operate, this function needs good reception of
a radio station that carries this type of
message. When a traffic report is transmitted,
the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...)
is interrupted automatically to play the TA
message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end of
the message.
Press TA to activate or deactivate the
reception of traffic messages.

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a
compression rate that is constant or variable
between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
File names should have less than 20
characters, avoiding special characters
(e.g.: “
? ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or
display problems.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and
.pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 500
directories on a maximum of 8 levels.
On a single disc, the CD player can read
up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8
directory levels. However, it is recommended
that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the
time taken to access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not observed during
playback.
In order to be able to play a burned CDR
or CDRW, select standards ISO 9660
level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible when burning the
CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may not
be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning
standard is always used on an individual disc,
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum) for
the best acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the
Joliet standard is recommended.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB
device other than audio players to the
USB port. This may cause damage to your
installation.
Playing a compilation
Insert an MP3 compilation in the CD player or
connect a memory stick to the USB port, directly
or via an extension lead.
The system creates playlists (temporary memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or a USB memory stick
is connected.
Play starts automatically after a certain
amount of time depending on the capacity of
the USB memory stick.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT
32 (File Allocation Table).
On first connection, the order suggested is
by folder. When connecting again, the order
previously chosen is retained.
To play a disc or memory stick which has already been inserted, press the SRC/
TEL button repeatedly and select " CD" or "USB".
