Low fuel level Refuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge flashes
in red.
To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F

O
pen the filler flap.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out. Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP
button if your vehicle has Keyless Entry
and Starting.

AdBlue® 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. 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.
The AdBlue® is held in a special tank with
a capacity of about 15 litres: this provides
a driving range of about 11 000 miles
(18

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 empty.
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.

Recommendations on storage
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle.
Procedure
Park the vehicle
F Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
F

W
ith Keyless Entry and Starting, press the
" START/STOP " button to switch off the
engine.
AdBlue
® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area 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. 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.
Open the filler
F With the vehicle unlocked, open the fuel filler flap; the blue filler cap for the AdBlue®
tank is located to the right of the black fuel
filler cap.
F

T

urn the blue cap a quarter of a turn anti-
clockwise.

R

emove the blue cap.
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.

Engines
Engine characteristics
The engine characteristics (capacity, maximum
power, maximum engine speed, fuel, CO
2
emissions, etc.) for your vehicle are given in
the registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive
1

999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for your
vehicle are given are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also present on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight
+ driver (75 kg).
The GTW and towed load values indicated
apply up to a maximum altitude of
1
000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for every additional
1
000 metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, on condition
that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools).
GV W: gross vehicle weight, the maximum
authorised vehicle weight.
GT W: gross train weight, the maximum
authorised weight of vehicle plus trailer. High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine; when
the exterior temperature is higher than
37
°C, limit the towed weight.
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when
towing (comply with the legislation in
force in your country).
If the exterior temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.
