witching on the ignition for subsequent
j
ourneys, while the fault persists. If
a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(

Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in useFilling the AdBlue® tank is an operation i
ncluded in every routine service on your
vehicle
by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
Nevertheless,
given the capacity of the tank,
i
t
may
be
necessary to top-up the additive
b
etween
services,
more particularly if an alert
(
warning
lamps
and a message) signals the
r
equirement.
You
can
got
to
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
If
you
envisage
topping-up yourself, please
r
ead
the
following
warnings carefully.

container:
it
would
loose its purity. Never

Never top-up from an AdBlue®
dispenser
reserved
for

bottles from a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
The
a
dblu

solution.
This liquid is non-flammable,
c
olourless
and odourless (kept in a cool area).
In
the
event
of contact with the skin, wash
t
he
affected
area with soap and water. In the
e
vent
of
contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate)
t
he
eyes
with large amounts of water or with
a
n
eye
wash
solution for at least 15 minutes.
I
f
a
burning
sensation or irritation persists, get
m
edical
attention.
If
swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
w
ith
clean
water and then drink plenty of water.
In
certain
conditions (high ambient
t
emperature,
for example), the risk of release
o
f
ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale
t
he
product.
Ammonia vapour has en irritant
e
ffect
on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as
p
ossible to the axle and the nose weight
a
pproaches the maximum permitted
w
ithout exceeding it.
ai
r density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of
the
weights
and
towed
loads
which
apply
to
y
our
vehicle.
When
not
towing
a
trailer,
remove
the
q
uickly-detachable
tow
ball
before
d
riving. The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.

Maximum load, distributed over the roof bars, for a loading height not exceeding
4
0 cm: 80 kg.
This
value is subject to change, please
c
heck the maximum load stated in the
i
nstructions provided with he roof bars.
If
the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
s
peed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
a
nd the fixings on the vehicle.
Please
refer to national legislation so as
t
o meet the requirements on carrying
o
bjects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
F Distribute the load evenly, avoiding ov
erloading on one side.
F
A
rrange the heaviest part of the load as
c
lose as possible to the roof.
F
A
nchor the load securely and fit a warning
f
lag if part of it overhangs the vehicle.
F
D
rive gently, as the vehicle will be more
l
iable to the effects of side winds (vehicle
s
tability may be affected).
F
R
emove the roof bars as soon as they are
n
o
lon
ger
n
eeded.
