In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
l
ocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
a
s the air extractor located in the boot.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
t
o keep it in per fect working order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
e
lements replaced regularly.
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
i
t checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
When
towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
a
ir conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the i nterior t emperature i s v ery h igh, f irst
v
entilate the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high
e
nough to quickly change the air in the
p
assenger
c
ompartment.
The
air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
a
ny danger to the ozone layer.
The
condensation created by the air
c
onditioning results in a discharge
o
f water under the vehicle which is
p
er fectly normal.

Headlamp beam height adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road users, the headlamp beams should be adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.
This
adjustment can be carried out using the control located:
-
u
nder the bonnet,
-
b
elow and to the left of the steering wheel (depending on version).
The
initial setting is position "0".

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
s
tandard, without adversely affecting the
p
er formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
e
ngines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
e
quip its vehicles with an effective system that
a
ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
w
ith a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea,
a
catalytic
converter
turns
up to 85%
o
f
nitrous
oxides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen and
w
ater,
which
are
harmless
to
health and the
e
nvironment. The
AdBlue
® additive is held in a special t
ank
located
under the boot at the rear of
t
he
vehicle.
It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
p
rovides
a
driving range of about 12 500 miles
(
20
000
km),
after which an alert is triggered
w
arning
you
when the reserve remaining is
e
nough
for
just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During
each
scheduled service of your vehicle
b
y
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
t
he
AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If
the
estimated mileage between two services
i
s
greater
than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
r
ecommend
that you go to a CITROËN dealer
o
r
a
qualified workshop to have the necessary
t
op-up
carried out. Once
the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
required
by regulations prevents
s
tarting
of
the
engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your vehicle will no
l
onger
meet
the
Euro 6 standard: your
v
ehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
w
ith
the
SCR
system, you must go
t
o
a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop
as
soon as possible: after
a
running
distance of 650 miles
(
1 100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.
