Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any 
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals 
are clean and correctly tightened, 
particularly in summer and winter.Refer to the manufacturer's 
service schedule for details of the 
replacement intervals for these 
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the 
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's 
service schedule for details of 
the replacement interval for this 
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular 
with the Stop & Start system, indicates 
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid 
battery with special technology and 
specification. 
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop is essential when 
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty 
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle 
(e.g.  city driving), replace them twice as often 
if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may 
have an adverse effect on the per formance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle 
filter is indicated by the fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp 
accompanied by a warning message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, 
regenerate the filter by driving at a 
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until 
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this 
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking  
levels  and the Diesel additive level in 
particular, refer to the corresponding 
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle 
filter regeneration operations may be 
accompanied by a "burning" smell, 
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the 
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, 
you may, in exceptional circumstances, 
notice the emission of water vapour at 
the exhaust on acceleration. This does 
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle 
or the environment.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer 
to the "
12 V batter y " section for details of the 
precautions to be taken before disconnecting 
the battery and following its reconnection.

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and 
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions 
standard, without adversely affecting the 
per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel 
engines, CITROËN has taken the decision to 
equip its vehicles with an effective system that 
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) 
with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of 
exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a 
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen 
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are 
harmless to health and the environment. The AdBlue
® is held in a special tank with a 
capacity of about 17 litres: this provides a driving 
range of about 12 500 miles (20 000 km). An 
alert is triggered automatically to warn you when 
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive 
about 1 500 miles (2 400 km) before the tank is 
e m pt y.
During each scheduled service of your vehicle 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, 
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow 
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage of your vehicle 
between two services is greater than  
12 500 miles (20 000 km), it will be necessary 
to top-up the AdBlue
®. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a 
s
ystem required by regulations prevents 
starting of the engine.
If the SCR
 
system is faulty, the level 
of emissions from your vehicle will no 
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your 
vehicle becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault 
with the SCR system, you must go 
to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible: after 
a running distance of 650 miles 
(1
 
100 km), a system will be triggered 
automatically to prevent engine starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives 
you the distance you can travel before 
the vehicle is immobilised.

This kit is installed in the storage box, under the 
boot floor.This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair
 of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread or 
shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check and adjust the pressure of the tyre.
Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the kit
Depending on version, the kit is stowed under 
the front passenger's seat or in the storage box 
under the second row footwell.

The Stop & Start system may not be 
operational during the trip following the 
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be 
available again after a continuous 
period of immobilisation of the vehicle, 
a period which depends on the ambient 
temperature and the state of charge of 
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Do not force the lever as locking will 
not be possible if the clamp is not 
positioned correctly; start the procedure 
again.
