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

12 V battery
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a
special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a
well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located on the upper
part of the bonnet (next to the battery).
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a
battery booster.
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a
battery charger.
Never use a
24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and
a
capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F

r

elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior safety catch,
F

r

aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F

l

ift the plastic cover for access to the (+)
terminal.

Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period.
Quick-release terminal clamp
F Switch off the ignition.
F S witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
F

battery A ,
-

t
he (-) black cable to earth point C on the
vehicle. Never try to charge a
frozen battery – risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a
CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a
risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the
cables from battery A .
If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system. Before disconnecting the battery:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F
