Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a special tank holding about
15


litres.
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 emptied completely.
Practical information

181
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 mileage of your vehicle
between two ser vices is greater than around
12,000

miles (20,000 km), it will be necessary
to top up the AdBlue
®.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired 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
680

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.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, refer to the corresponding section. Freezing of 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.
Topping up with AdBlue®
Before topping up, please read the
following warnings carefully.
Precautions for use
The AdBlue® solution is based on urea. This
liquid is non-flammable, colourless and
odourless (when kept in a cool place).
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 with large amounts of water or with an eye
wash solution for at least 15
minutes. If you feel
a persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water. Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would become contaminated.
Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO
22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Containers are available from a
CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In certain conditions (at high temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
You can also visit a ser vice station
equipped with AdBlue pumps specially
designed for private vehicles and light
goods vehicles.

Practical information

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should 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 keep AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Procedure
In cold weather, before per forming the top-up,
ensure that the temperature is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and so
cannot be poured into the tank.
Park your vehicle in a warmer area for a few
hours to allow the top-up to be carried out. F

After refilling
F Per form the operations in reverse order.
Important: in the event of a top-up after a
breakdown because of a lack of AdBlue,
you must wait around 5 minutes before
switching on the ignition, without opening
the driver’s door, unlocking the vehicle,
introducing the key into the ignition
switch, or introducing the key of the

On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
If the engine does not start first time, do not
keep trying but start the procedure again from
the beginning.For more information on Misfuel
prevention (Diesel) , refer to the
corresponding section.

Temporary puncture
repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair
of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Only the 12 V socket at the front of
the vehicle allows the compressor to be
connected for long enough to repair or
inflate the vehicle tyre.
The other 12 V sockets of the vehicle
are not designed to be used with the
compressor.
Under-inflation detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning
lamp will remain on until the system is
reinitialised.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection , refer to the corresponding
section.

2The different functions and settings
described vary according to the version
and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it
requires sustained attention by the
driver, the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system must be
done with the vehicle stationary
and the
ignition on.
The system is protected in such a way that
it will only operate in your vehicle.
The display of the message Energy
Economy Mode signals that a change to
standby is imminent.
