Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very
h
igh, first ventilate the passenger
c
ompartment 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.
In
order
for
these
systems
to
be
fully
effective,

Thanks
to
its

adblue® additive and SCR system
f
or
Blue
HDi 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)
with
a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
e
xhaust gases.
Presentation of the ScR s ystem
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea, a catalytic converter turns up to
85% of
nitrous
oxides
(NOx)
into
nitrogen
a
nd
water,
which
are
harmless
to health and
t
he environment. The
a d
blu
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.
on
ce the a
dbl
ue
® tank is empty, a
system
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 CITR
oË
N dealer or a qualified
workshop
as
soon as possible: after
a
running
distance of 650 miles
(
1 100
km),
a
system will be triggered
a
utomatically
to
prevent engine
s
tarting.

Important: if your vehicle's a
dblu e® tank is completely empty - w
hich
is
confirmed by the alert
m
essages and the impossibility of
s
tarting
the engine, you must add at
l
east
3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles).If any additive is split or splashed, wash
immediately
with cold water or wipe
w
ith a damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.Important:
i
n the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
additive , signalled by the message "Top
u
p emissions additive: Starting prevented",
y
ou must wait around 5 minutes before
s
witching
o
n
t
he
i
gnition,
w
ithout opening
the driver's door, locking the vehicle
or introducing the key into the ignition
switch .

1
0 seconds, start the engine.
