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
as
the air extractor located in the boot.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
o
f the air conditioning system.
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.
W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
s
pecial active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants
and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
s
ymptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
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.
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
any
danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning
results in a discharge
o
f water under the vehicle which is
per fectly
normal.
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.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning s ystems only work when the engine is
r
unning.
To
maintain a comfortable temperature
i
n the passenger compartment, you can
t
emporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
s
ystem.

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)
with
a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic
converter
turns
up
to
85% of nitrous o
xides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen
and
water, which are
h
armless
to
health
and
the
environment. 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
r
unning
distance
of 650 miles
(1
100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine starting.
The AdBlue® additive is held in a special
tank
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.

F Obtain a bottle of AdBlue®. After first c
hecking
the
use-by
date,
read carefully
t
he instructions on use on the label before
pouring
the
contents
of
the bottle into your
v
ehicle's
Ad
Blue
® tank.
I
mportant :
if
your vehicle's AdBlue
®
tank
is
completely
empty
-
which
is
c
onfirmed
by
the
alert
messages
and
t
he
impossibility
of
starting
the
engine,
y
ou
must
add
at
least
3.8
litres
(so
t
wo 1.89
litre
bottles). If any additive is split or splashed, wash
immediately
w
ith
c
old
w
ater
o
r
w
ipe
w
ith
a
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.Important:
i
n the event of a top-up
after a breakdown because of a lack
of additive , signalled by the message
"
Top up emissions additive: Starting
p
revented", you must wait around
5
minutes
before
switching
on
the
ignition,
w
ithout opening the driver's door,
locking the vehicle or introducing the
key into the ignition switch .
Switch on the ignition, then, after
1
0 seconds, start the engine.
Never dispose of AdBlue
® additive
bottles
in
the
household
waste. Place
t
hem
in
a
special
container provided
t
his
p
urpose
o
r
t
ake
t
hem
t
o

F
A
fter
emptying
the
bottle,
wipe
away
any
s
pillage
around
the
tank
filler
using
a
damp
c
loth.
F
R
efit
the
blue
cap
to
the
tank
and
turn
it
a
6th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
F
R
efit the black cap and turn it a quarter of
a
turn clockwise without pressing. Ensure
t
hat the indicator on the cap lines up with
the
indicator on the support.
F
D
epending on equipment, return the spare
w
heel and/or the storage box to the bottom
o
f
the boot.
F
