2023 CITROEN C3 AIRCROSS warning

134
Practical information
further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
If the estimated distance travelled by the
vehicle between two services is greater than
12,500
miles (20,000 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, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. After 685
miles (1,100 km), a device is automatically
activated to prevent the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
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.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop, as well as service
stations 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 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.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid 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. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store 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 surface.
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 the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour 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.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5
minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver’s door,
unlocking the vehicle, inserting the key
into the ignition switch, or bringing the
key for the "Keyless Entry and Start"
system into the passenger compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key
from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
► With Keyless Entry and Start, press the
"START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.

RDS
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks,
etc.) 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.
If RDS is not available, the RDS symbol
appears struck out in the screen.
The RDS, if activated, enables you to continue listening to the same station by
automatic retuning to alternative frequencies.
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.
Short procedure
In "Radio" mode, press the OK button to activate
or deactivate RDS directly.
Long procedure
Press the MENU button.
Select "Audio functions ".
Press OK.
Select the "FM waveband preferences"
function.
Press OK.
Select "Frequency tracking (RDS)".
Press OK, RDS is displayed on 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, etc.) is
interrupted automatically to play the TA
message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end of
the message.
Take care when increasing the volume while listening to TA messages. The
volume may prove too high on return to the
original audio source.
