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, etc.).
Some distortion 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 lines 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 cur ves represent the
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera is only an aid and
the driver must remain cautious at all times.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance within 30
cm of the camera lens.
Opening the boot lid causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR System
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
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 special tank

with a capacity of around 17 litres. This
capacity allows a driving range of around
12,000

miles (20,000 km). An alert system is
triggered automatically once the reser ve level
is reached: you can then drive for a further
1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
completely empty.
During each scheduled ser vice 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 distance travelled by your
vehicle between two ser vices is greater than
12,000

miles (20,000 km), it will be necessary
to top up the AdBlue.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the new Euro 6

standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or
fuel consumption its diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases. 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 shows the
distance you can travel before the vehicle
is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.
Filling the AdBlue
® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Topping up with AdBlue®

Practical information

104
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlueAdBlue® 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 for use
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of ammonia being
released cannot be ruled out: do not inhale
the vapours. Ammonia 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. 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 additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
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.
AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. This fluid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(stored in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15

minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention. Containers are available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Practical information

105
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 freeze 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.

®. After first checking
the use-by date, read the instructions on
use on the label carefully 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

A

fter emptying the bottle, wipe away any
spillage around the tank filler using a damp
cloth. If any additive is spilt or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.

Important: if topping up after
running out of Adblue , you must wait
approximately 5 minutes before switching
on the ignition, without opening the
driver's door , unlocking the vehicle or
inser ting the key in the ignition .
Switch on the ignition, then, after
10

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with an HDi engine, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
For more information about the Engines, in
particular the location of the different parts
under the bonnet, refer to the corresponding
section.
For more information on Diesel misfuel
prevention , refer to the corresponding section.
If the engine does not start the first time,
don't keep trying, but start the procedure
again from the beginning.
