Warning/indicator lampStateCause Actions/Observations
or Low fuel level
Fixed (warning
lamp or LED) and
needle in the red
zone (depending on
version), accompanied
by an audible signal
and a
message.
The audible signal
and the message
are repeated with
increasing frequency
as the level drops
towards zero.When it first comes on, there
remains approximately 5 litres of
fuel in the tank (reser ve). Refuel without delay to avoid running out of fuel.
Never drive until completely empty
, as this could
damage the emissions control and injection systems.
Diesel filter Fixed. The Diesel filter contains water. Risk of damage to the injection system: carry out (2)
without delay.
Par ticle filter
(Diesel) Fixed, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a

message about
the risk of particle
filter blockage. This indicates that the particle filter
is beginning to saturate.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate
the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 37 mph
(60
km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
Fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
a

message signalling
that the additive level
in the particle filter is
too low.This indicates that the level in the
additive tank is low. Carry out (3).

Headlamps and lamps
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating.
Do not clean them with a
dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
Use a
sponge and soapy water.
The use of a
high pressure jet wash for
cleaning the headlamps, lamps and their
surrounds may damage the lacquer and
seals.
Observe the recommendations on
pressure and distance for jet washing.
First clean persistent stains with a
sponge
and warm soapy water.
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate
regular care and cleaning is essential for its
durability.
Refer to your vehicle's Maintenance and
Warranty guide for information on all the
special precautions to observe.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
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 liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the 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
approximately 5,600

miles (9,000 km), highly
dependent on your driving style.
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 empty.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressure causes premature wear on tyres
and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding – risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
the braking and road holding per formance of
the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly
check the condition of the tyres (tread and
sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the
presence of the valves.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of
tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
