To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-
never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

everse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAr EFFIcIEncY I nd I c AtO r
Depending on the engine or version, this
system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

40The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - ST OP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.

Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year at the beginning of
winter. Maintenance and repairs should only
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
Switching off the heating
In the case of deferred operation, the
heating stops at the end of the programmed
period.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating switches off when the
battery voltage is low, so as to allow engine
starting.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion. The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120
°C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off
the combustion in the event of engine
overheating due to a lack of coolant. Check
the level and if necessary top-up following
the advice given in the "Checks - Levels"
section. Then press the programme
selection button before switching the heating
on again.
Setting the operating
period
The period of operation can be set to
between 10 and 60 minutes.
Press and hold the "set" button.
At the same time press the "<"
or ">" button.
The time and the time setting
indicator come on.
Press and hold the "set" button again.
At the same time press the "<" or ">" button
again.
The programmed operating period is
displayed and the heating or ventilation
cycle indicator flashes.
Adjust the period by pressing the "<" or ">"
button.
The setting is confirmed by the period
disappearing from the screen or by pressing
the "set" button again In the case of immediate
operation, press this button again
to switch off manually.
The heating cycle indicator and
the screen go off.

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures. With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key. When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on.
You then have around 10 to
12 litres in the reserve, depending on the
capacity of the tank, the engine type, the
driving conditions and the profile of the road.
Refuel without delay to avoid running out of
fuel.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities, 60 and
120 litres, may be fitted. The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.
-
Open the fuel filler flap.
-
Support the black cap with one hand.
-
With the other hand, insert the key
, then
turn it anticlockwise.
-
Remove the black cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
-
After filling the fuel tank, lock the black
cap and close the flap.
BlueH d i and AdBlue additive

A nd AdB L u E® AddItIVE
AdBlue® is the brand name of the solution
needed for operation of the SCR system.
BlueHDI vehicles have a specific AdBlue
®
additive tank with a capacity of 15 litres.
It has an exterior filler located behind the
fuel filler flap below the fuel filler cap and
closed with a blue filler cap.
The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce by
up to 90% the emissions of NOx (nitrous
oxides) in the air, using a system that
converts NOx into water vapour and nitrogen
in a dedicated catalytic converter: SCR
(Selective Catalytic Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6" emissions
standard adopted by the European Union
aimed at limiting the emissions of pollutants
from internal combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi
engines involves the injection of AdBlue
®
fluid into the exhaust system. This operation can also be carried out
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Scr technology
Filling of the AdBlue® tank can be done
using:
-
5 or 10 litres containers equipped with a
10 centimetre filler tube or the filling kit
available from CITROËN dealers,
-
1.89 litre botles that are screwed onto
the filler neck, available from CITROËN
dealers,
-
or when at a fuel filling station equipped
with a special AdBlue
® delivery pump for
heavy or light vehicles.
