The presence of this label, in particular 
with the Stop & Start system, indicates 
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid 
battery with special technology and 
specification. The involvement of 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop is essential when replacing 
or disconnecting the battery.
12 V battery
When carrying out work on the battery, refer 
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the 
precautions to be taken before disconnecting 
the battery and following its reconnection.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean 
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer 
and winter.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty 
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle  
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often 
if necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may 
have an adverse effect on the per formance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours.

The engine start prevention system 
required by regulations is activated 
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank 
is empty.
Range indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after 
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions 
control system, when the ignition is switched 
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the 
distance that can be covered, the range, before 
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and 
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest range figure is 
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no 
information on range is displayed automatically

audible signal and the temporary display in 
the instrument panel of "NO START IN" and 
a distance, indicating the remaining range 
expressed in miles or kilometres before engine 
starting is prevented - (For example "NO 
START IN 900 miles" means that "Starting will 
be prevented in 900 miles).
When driving, this display appears every 
150
  miles (300 km) until the additive tank has 
been topped-up.
Go to a dealer CITROËN or a qualified 
workshop to have the AdBlue

The UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning 
lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible 
signal and the display of the message 
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving, when 
the fault is detected for the first time, then 
when switching on the ignition for subsequent 
journeys, while the fault persists. In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert 
disappears during the next journey, 
after a self diagnosis test of the SCR 
emissions control system.
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after 
30 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent 
display of the message signalling a fault), the 
SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps 
come on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, 
accompanied by an audible signal and the 
temporary display in the instrument panel of 
"NO START IN" and a distance, indicating the 
remaining range express in miles or kilometres

Never dispose of AdBlue® additive 
bottles in the household waste. Place 
them in a special container provided 
this purpose or take them to your 
dealer.
Important: if your vehicle's 
AdBlue
® tank is completely empty - 
w
hich is confirmed by the alert displays 
and the impossibility of starting the 
engine - you must add at least 3.8 litres 
(so two 1.89 litre bottles). If any additive is split or splashed, wash 
immediately with cold water or wipe 
with a damp cloth.
If the additive 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 additive , 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 
"Keyless Entr y and Star ting" system 
into the passenger compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then, after

QUESTIOnAnSWERSOLUTIOn
T
here is a difference in 
sound quality between the 
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different 
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when 
changing source. Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to the 
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the 
Audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance, 
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the 
"Linear", musical ambience and set the loudness 
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or 
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
With the engine off, the 
system switches off after a 
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time 
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode 
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery 
charge.
