keep a dblu e® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   bottle.
Never transfer
a d
blu
e
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
loose   its   purity. Never
  dilute   the   additive   with   water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel   tank.
Never   top-up   from   an   AdBlue®
dispenser
 
reserved
 
for
 
heavy
 
goods  
v

ehicles.
Filling
 
the
 
AdBlue
® tank is an operation i
ncluded in every routine service on your
vehicle by a CITR
oË

N dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless,
 
given   the   capacity   of   the   tank,  
i

t
 
may
 
be
 
necessary   to   top-up   the   additive  
b

etween
 
services,
  more   particularly   if   an   alert  
(

warning
 
lamps
 
and   a   message)   signals   the  
r

equirement.
You
 
can
 
got
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
If
 
you
 
envisage
 
topping-up   yourself,   please  
r

ead
 
the
 
following
 
warnings   carefully.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only adblu e® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
 
standard.
The
 
supply
 
in
 
a
 
non-drip   bottle   simplifies  
t

oping-up.
 
You
 
can   obtain   1.89   litre   (half   a   US  
g

allon)
 
bottles
 
from   a   CITROËN dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
The
a
dblu
e® additive is an urea-based
solution.
 
This   liquid   is   non-flammable,  
c

olourless
 
and   odourless   (kept   in   a   cool   area).
In
 
the
 
event
 
of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash  
t

he
 
affected
 
area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

vent
 
of
 
contact   with   the   eyes,   wash   (irrigate)  
t

he
 
eyes
 
with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with  
a

n
 
eye
 
wash
  solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
I

f
 
a
 
burning
 
sensation   or   irritation   persists,   get  
m

edical
 
attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

ith
 
clean
 
water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain
 
conditions   (high   ambient  
t

emperature,
  for   example),   the   risk   of   release  
o

f
 
ammonia
 
cannot   be   excluded:   do   not   inhale  
t

he
 
product.
 
Ammonia   vapour   has   en   irritant  
e

ffect
 
on
 
mucous   membranes   (eyes,   nose   and  
t

hroat).

RAcING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.  The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Lighting
F Check   the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o

FREQUENTLY ASKE d QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Certain   traffic   jams  
along

 
the   route   are   not  
indicated

  in   real   time. On
  starting,   it   is   several   minutes   before   the   system   begins   to   receive   the  
traffic

  information. Wait
  until   the   traffic   information   is   being   received  
correctly

  (display   of   the   traffic   information   icons   on  
the

  map).
The
  filters   are   too   restrictive. Modify
  the   "Geographic   filter"   settings.
In
  certain   countries,   only   major   routes   (motorways...)   are   listed   for   the  
traffic

  information. This
  phenomenon   is   normal.  
The
  system   is  
dependent

  on   the   traffic   information   available.
The altitude is not
displayed. On
  starting,   the   initialisation   of   the   GPS   may   take   up   to   3   minutes   to  
receive

  more   than   4   satellites   correctly.Wait
  until   the   system   has   started   up   completely.  
Check

  that   there   is   a   GPS   coverage   of   at   least  
4 satellites

  (long   press   on   the   SETUP
 
button,   then  
select

  "GPS   coverage").
Depending
  on   the   geographical   environment   (tunnel...)   or   the   weather,  
the

  conditions   of   reception   of   the   GPS   signal   may   vary.This
  phenomenon   is   normal.  
The
  system  
is

  dependent   on   the   GPS   signal   reception  
conditions.

am
 
unable   to   connect  
my

 
Bluetooth   telephone. The
  telephone's   Bluetooth   function   may   be   switched   off   or   the   telephone  
may

Check
  that   your   telephone's   Bluetooth  
function

  is   switched   on.
-
 
Check
  in   the   telephone   settings   that   it   is  
"visible

The

  can   check   the   compatibility   of   your   telephone  
on

The
 
volume   of   the  
telephone connected
in

 
Bluetooth   mode   is  
inaudible. The

  volume   depends   both   on   the   system   and   on   the   telephone.Increase
  the   volume   of   the   audio   system,   to  
maximum

  if   required,   and   increase   the   volume   of  
the

The
  ambient   noise   level   has   an   influence   on   the   quality   of   telephone  
communication.Reduce

  the   ambient   noise   level   (close   the   windows,
 reduce
