engine temperature CITROEN C4 PICASSO 2017 Owner's Manual

201
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a
cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
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.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reser voir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a


message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reser voir is refilled.
The next time you stop, have the screenwash/
headlamp wash reser voir topped up.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Level of AdBlue
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR
system, and, in particular, topping up the tank,
refer to the corresponding section.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.

Practical information

204
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)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a
Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
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 holding about
17


litres.
Its capacity allows a

driving range of around
12,500

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
e m pt y. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, 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
685

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 associated alerts,
refer to the corresponding section.
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 very cold conditions.
Practical information

206
In winter, check that the temperature of the
vehicle is above -11°C. If not, due to freezing,
the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into the tank.
Park your vehicle somewhere warmer for a few
hours before topping up.
In the event of an AdBlue
® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5

litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the side of the body, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a

damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a

sponge and hot water.
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, locking the
vehicle, introducing the key into the
ignition switch, or introducing the key of
the

K
eyless Entr y and Star ting system
into the passenger compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10


seconds before starting the engine.
Access to the AdBlue® tank via
the boot
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top up the fluid between
ser vices, as soon as an alert (warning lamps
and a

message) indicates it.
You can go to a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you intend to do the topping-up yourself,
read the following procedure carefully.
The supply in a

non-drip bottle simplifies
topping up. F

Reconnecting the (+) terminalDo not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems. If
minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop. Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a

continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a
test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are given in the registration document,
as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop. The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a
maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle per formance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never
exceed a speed of approximately 60 mph
(100
km/h) (obser ve the local legislation
in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a
stop, to facilitate its cooling.
