In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
 
T
 o   obtain   an   even   air   distribution,   take   care   not   to   obstruct   the   exterior   air   intake   grilles  
l
ocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well 
as
  the   air   extractor   located   in   the   boot.
F
 
D
 o   not   cover   the   sunshine   sensor,   located   on   the   dashboard;   this   is   used   for   regulation  
o
f   the   air   conditioning   system.
F
 
O
 perate   the   air   conditioning   system   for   at   least   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month  
t
o   keep   it   in   per fect   working   order.
F
 
E
 nsure   that   the   passenger   compartment   filter   is   in   good   condition   and   have   the   filter  
e
lements   replaced   regularly.
 W
e   recommend   the   use   of   a   combined   passenger   compartment   filter.   Thanks   to   its  
s
pecial active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the 
occupants
  and   the   cleanliness   of   the   passenger   compartment   (reduction   of   allergic  
s
ymptoms,   bad   odours   and   greasy   deposits).
F
 
T
 o   ensure   correct   operation   of   the   air   conditioning   system,   you   are   also   advised   to   have  
i
t   checked   regularly   as   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
F
 
I
 f   the   system   does   not   produce   cold   air,   switch   it   off   and   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q
ualified
 w
 orkshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  i nterior  t emperature  i s  v ery  h igh,  f irst  
v
entilate   the   passenger   compartment   for  
a
  few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e
nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the  
p
assenger
 c
 ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c
ontain chlorine and does not present 
any
  danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
The condensation created by the air 
conditioning
  results   in   a   discharge  
o
f water under the vehicle which is 
per fectly
  normal.
When
 
towing
 
the
 
maximum
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
steep
 
gradient
 
in
 
high
 
temperatures,
 
switching
 
off
 
the
 
a
ir
 
conditioning
 
increases
 
the
 
available
 
engine
 
power
 
and
 
so
 
improves
 
the
 
towing
 
ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning s ystems   only   work   when   the   engine  
i
s   running.   To   maintain   a   comfortable  
t
emperature   in   the   passenger  
c
ompartment,   you   can   temporarily  
d
eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system   (see  
t
he   corresponding   section).

adblue® additive and SCR system
f
or
 
BlueHDi   Diesel   engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity   with   the   new   Euro   6   emissions  
s
tandard,   without   adversely   affecting   the  
p
er formance   or   fuel   consumption   of   Diesel  
e
ngines,   CITROËN   has   taken   the   decision   to  
e
quip   its   vehicles   with   an   effective   system   that  
a
ssociates   SCR   (Selective   Catalytic   Reduction)  
w
ith   a   particle   filter   (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of  
e
xhaust   gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a
 
catalytic
 
converter
 
turns
 
up
 
to
 
85%   of   nitrous o
xides
 
(NOx)
 
into
 
nitrogen
 
and
 
water,   which   are
 h
armless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment.

 ce the  a
dbl
 ue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
 
required
  by   regulations  
p
revents
 
starting
 
of   the   engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of 
emissions
 
from
 
your   vehicle   will   no  
l
onger
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   you  
v
ehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
confirmed   fault  
w
ith
 
the
 
SCR
 
system,   you   must   go  
t
o
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer   or   a   qualified  
w
orkshop
 
as
 
soon   as   possible:   after  
a
 
running
 
distance   of   650   miles  
(
1 100
 
km),
 
a
 
system   will   be   triggered  
a
utomatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine   starting.
The 
a
dblu
e® additive is held in a special 
tank
 
located
  under   the   boot   at   the   rear   of  
t
he
 
vehicle.
 
It   has   a   capacity   of   17   litres:   this  
p
rovides
 
a
 
driving   range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(
20
 
000
 
km),
  after   which   an   alert   is   triggered  
w
arning
 
you
 
when   the   reserve   remaining   is  
e
nough
 
for
 
just   1   500   miles   (2   400   km).
During
 
each
  scheduled   service   of   your   vehicle  
b
y
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
t
he 
a
d
blu
e
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
 
normal   operation   of   the   SCR   system.
If
 
the
 
estimated   mileage   between   two   services  
i
s
 
greater
 
than   12   500   miles   (20   000   km),   we  
r
ecommend
  that   you   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o
r
 
a
 
qualified   workshop   to   have   the   necessary  
t
op-up
 
carried   out.
