Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by
reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the
following warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver.Warning /indicator lampis on Cause Action / Observations
STOP fixed, alone or
associated with
another warning
lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message in the
screen. Illumination of the warning lamp is
associated with a serious braking
system or engine coolant temperature
problem.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine may
cut out when driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Service temporarily. Minor problems have occurred for
which there is no specific warning
lamp.
Identify the problem by reading the message shown in the
screen, such as, for example:
- the engine oil level,- the screenwash level,- the remote control battery,- saturation of the particle filter on di esel vehicles
(refer to the "Particle filter (Diesel)" section).
For any other faults, contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified
workshop.

engines.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Particle
emissions filter
(Diesel) fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal.
This indicates that the particle
emissions filter is starting to become
saturated. As soon as driving conditions allow, regenerate the
filter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h)
until the warning lamp goes off (see the "Checks
-
Particle emissions filter" section).
fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal. This indicates the low level of the
additive reservoir. Have the reservoir topped up as soon as possible by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (see the
"Checks - Additive level" section).
Under-inflation fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
a message. The pressure in one or more tyres is
too low.
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after the adjustment
of one or more tyre pressures and after changing one
or more wheels.
For more information, refer to the "Under-inflation
detection" section.

dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
av
oid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MaX " mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at
routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Screenwash fluid level
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.

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.
The 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. When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. 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.
On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration of the particle filter may be
accompanied by the smell of "burning",
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.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
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 c

logged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
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.

adblue® additive and SCR system
for

di
d
i
esel 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
d
i
esel
engines, CITR
oËn

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.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called adbl ue® containing
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
on
ce the a
dbl
ue
® tank is empty, a
s
ystem required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR

is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: you
vehicle becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault
with the SCR system, you must go
to a CITR
oËn

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.
The
a
dblu
e® additive is held in a special
tank located under the boot at the rear of
the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles
(20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered
warning you when the reserve remaining is
enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
du

ring each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
the
a
d
blu

e
® additive tank is refilled in order to
allow normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage between two services
is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
recommend that you go to a CITR
oËn

dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the necessary
top-up carried out.
