Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However,
  check   that   the   terminals  
a

re   clean   and   correctly   tightened,  
p

articularly   in   summer   and   winter.Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  s
ervice   schedule   for   details   of   the  
r

eplacement   intervals   for   these  
c

omponents.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice   schedule   for   details   of  
t

he   replacement   interval   for   this  
c

omponent.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with   the   Stop   &   Start   system,   indicates   the u

se   of   a   specific   12   V   lead-acid   battery
 w

ith   special   technology   and   specification.
 T

he   involvement   of   a   CITROËN   dealer
 o

r   a   qualified   workshop   is   essential   when
 r

eplacing   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 a
tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle   (e.g. city d

riving),
 r
eplace them twice as often if necessar y .
A
  clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may   have
 a

n   adverse   effect   on   the   per formance   of   the   air
 c

onditioning   system   and   generate   undesirable
 o

dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter   is   indicated   by   the   fixed  
i

llumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   warning   message.
As
 
soon   as   the   traffic   conditions   permit,  
r

egenerate   the   filter   by   driving   at   a  
s

peed   of   at   least   40   mph   (60   km/h)   until  
t

he
 
warning   lamp   goes   off.
If
 
the   warning   lamp   stays   on,   this  
i

ndicates   a   low   additive   level.
For
  more   information   on   Checking
levels
 

and   the   Diesel   additive   level   in  
p

articular,   refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
  regeneration   operations   may   be  
a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,  
w

hich   is   per fectly   normal.
Following
  prolonged   operation   of   the  
v

ehicle   at   very   low   speed   or   at   idle,  
y

ou
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice   the   emission   of   water   vapour   at  
t

he
 
exhaust   on   acceleration.   This   does  
n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
 
the   environment.
When
 
carrying
 
out
 
work
 
on
 
the
 
battery,
 
refer
 
t

o the " 12 V batter y "
 
section
 
for
 
details
 
of
 
the
 
p

recautions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
before
 
disconnecting

battery
 
and
 
following
 
its
 
reconnection.

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 a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a c
atalytic
 
converter
 
turns
 
up
 
to   85%   of   nitrogen  
o

xides
 
(NOx)
 
into
 
nitrogen
 
and   water,   which   are  
h

armless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment. 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  
p

revents
 
starting
 
of   the   engine.
If the SCR

is faulty, the level of
emissions
 
from
 
your   vehicle   will   no  
l

onger
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   you  
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.

This kit is  installed  i n  t he  s torage  b ox,  u nder  t he  b
oot   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  
s

houlder.
Its   compressor   can   be   used   to   check   and   adjust   the   pressure   of   the   tyre.
