In the event of a fault with the emissions control system SCR
A device preventing the engine from
starting automatically activates after
685 miles (1,100 km) of driving following
confirmation of a fault in the SCR
emissions control system. Have the
system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible. In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey, after
self-diagnosis of the emissions SCR
system. or
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after 30
miles (50 km) covered with the permanent display
of the message signalling a fault), the Service and
engine diagnostic warning lights come on and
the AdBlue warning light flashes, accompanied
by an audible signal and the temporary display in
the instrument cluster of "NO START IN" and a
distance, indicating the remaining range expressed
in miles or kilometres before engine starting is
prevented - (e.g.: "NO START IN 600 km" means
"Starting will be prevented in 600 km (375 miles).
While driving, this display appears every
30
seconds while the fault with the SCR emissions
system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart the
vehicle.
During the permitted driving phase (between
685 and 0 miles) (1,100 km and 0 km)
or
The AdBlue, Service and engine diagnostic
warning lights come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the gap represents the width of
your vehicle except for the door mirrors).
The red line represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle. The reversing camera cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of of the driver.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance within 30 cm of the camera lens.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

AdBlue® and SCR system for BlueHDi Diesel engines
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 contained in a specific tank
of approximately 17 litres. Its capacity allows
a driving range of around 12,500 miles
(20,000

km). An alert system is triggered
automatically once the reserve level is reached:
you can then drive for a further 1,500 miles
(2,400 km) before the tank is empty.
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 system
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.
SCR system
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 the SCR system (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a particle filter (FAP) for the
treatment of exhaust gases.
Practical information

133
Topping-up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on your
vehicle by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top-up the fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in all weather conditions.
Precautions in use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept
in a cool area).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. In the event
of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the
eyes copiously under running water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. If
a burning sensation or irritation persists, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high ambient
temperature, for example), the risk of release of
ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the
fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO
22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
The supply in a non-drip container or bottle
simplifies topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre
(half a US gallon) bottles or 5 litre containers
from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once
it has completely thawed out at ambient
temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided for
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and
so cannot be poured into its tank. Park your
vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to
allow the top-up to be carried out.

the instructions on use on the label before
pouring the contents of the bottle into your
vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Important: if your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank is
completely empty - which is confirmed by
the alert displays and the impossibility of
starting the engine - you must add at least
3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles). F
