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

Removing a wheel
* position P for the automatic gearbox
Parking the vehicle
Stop the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed in automatic mode; switch
off the ignition and put the vehicle into first
gear* so as to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp and
the P warning lamp in the parking brake
control lever come on.
For more safety, position the
chock
2 against the wheel opposite the one you
are replacing.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Do not use:
-
t
he jack for any other purpose than
lifting the vehicle,
-
a j
ack other than the one supplied by
the manufacturer.
List of operationsF Place the foot of the jack 3 on the ground
and ensure that it is directly below the front
A or rear B jacking point provided on the
underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!

adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge. If you wish to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a
charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a nominal
voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

vehicle. In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-

i
f you only use your vehicle for short
journeys,
-
i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a breakdown

233
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

S
witch off charger B before connecting the
cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E

one, on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect charger B cables as follows:
-

t
he (+) red cable to the (+) terminal of
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
s
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.

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).

Towing another vehicle
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your

When towing a
vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towbar: rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a
professional recovery ser vice:
