Practical information
A clogged passenger compartment filter can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
In addition to the catalytic converter, this filter
actively contributes to the preservation of
air quality by trapping the unburnt pollutant
particles. Black exhaust fumes are therefore not
emitted.
Operation
This filter, inserted into the exhaust system,
accumulates the carbonaceous particles. The
engine management computer automatically
and periodically manages the removal of
carbonaceous particles (regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
according to the amount of accumulated
particles and the conditions of use of the vehicle.
During this phase, you may notice certain
phenomena - accelerated idling, triggering of
the cooling fan, increased smoke and increased
temperature at the exhaust - which have no
impact on the operation of the vehicle and the
environment.
Screenwash and headlamp
washer fluid
To check the level or top up this fluid on
vehicles fitted with headlamp washers,
immobilise the vehicle and switch off the engine.
Reservoir capacity: approximately 5.5 litres.
To access the filler cap, pull the telescopic filler
neck and unclip the cap.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under
all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, etc.).
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
For more information on Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi),
and in particular on the supply of AdBlue, refer to
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections are
clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .

Practical information
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its 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
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the bonnet,
close to the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, the filter
must be purged to remove water.
You can also purge the fuel filter regularly, every
time the engine oil is changed.
Bleeding the water in the filter
► Couple a clear hose to the bleed screw
1head.
► Place the other end of the clear hose in a
container.
► Loosen bleed screw 2.
► Switch on the ignition.
► Wait for the scavenge pump to stop.
► Switch off the ignition.
► Tighten bleed screw 2.
► Remove, then drain the clear hose and the
container.
► Start the engine.
► Check that there are no leaks.
HDi engines make use of advanced
technology. Any intervention requires a
special qualification guaranteed by the
CITROËN dealer network or a qualified
workshop .
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation 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 performance 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.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

Practical information
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
"Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.
After refilling
► Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it
clockwise as far as it will go (one sixth of a turn).
► Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® containers in
the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
bought them.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait
about 5 minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's door,
unlocking the vehicle or bringing the
electronic key into the passenger
compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key
from the switch to switch off the engine.
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank a 6th of
a turn anti-clockwise and remove it.
Filling up
► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
► With an AdBlue
® pump: introduce the nozzle
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically
cuts out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
– Add between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
® containers.
– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
® top-ups of
5 litres or more.

In the event of a breakdown
Temporary puncture repair kit
This temporary puncture repair kit is stored in a
bag, placed in one of the front doors.
It includes:
– a cartridge A, containing the sealant, equipped
with: • a filling pipe B,
• a sticker C indicating "50 mph (80 km/h)
max.", which the driver must apply within
their field of vision (on the dashboard) after
having repaired the tyre,
– a quick user guide for the repair kit,
– a compressor D equipped with a pressure
gauge and connections,
– adapters, for the inflation of various
components.
Repairing a tyre
► Apply the parking brake.
► Unscrew the cap of the tyre valve, remove
filling hose B and screw ring E onto the valve.
► Make sure compressor switch F is in
position 0 (off).
► Start the engine.
► Insert plug G into the nearest socket on the
vehicle.
► Operate the compressor by setting switch F
to position I (on).
► Inflate the tyre to a pressure of 5 bar.
To obtain a more accurate reading, it is
recommended to check the pressure value on
pressure gauge H, with the compressor off.
► If a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached
within 5 minutes, disconnect the compressor
from the valve and the power socket, then move
the vehicle forwards by approximately 10 metres,
to disperse the sealant inside the tyre.
► Then repeat the inflation procedure:
• if a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached
within 10 minutes, stop your vehicle: the tyre
is too damaged and could not be repaired.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
• if the tyre pressure has reached 5 bar,
restart immediately.
► After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the tyre pressure again.
► Restore the correct pressure in accordance
with the label on the driver's side pillar and
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This puncture repair kit and the replacement cartridges are available
from a CITROËN dealer.
Checking and restoring
pressure
The compressor can only be used to check and
restore pressure.
► Disconnect hose I and directly connect it
to the tyre valve; the cartridge will thereby be
connected to the compressor and the sealant will
not be injected.
If the tyre needs to be deflated, connect hose
I to the tyre valve and press the yellow button
located in the centre of the compressor switch.
Replacing the cartridge
To replace the sealant cartridge, proceed as
follows:
► Disconnect the hose I.
► Turn the cartridge to be replaced anti-
clockwise and lift it.
► Insert the new cartridge and turn it clockwise,
► Reconnect the hose I and connect pipe B to
its location.
The cartridge contains ethylene glycol, which is harmful if swallowed and irritates
the eyes.
It must be kept out of the reach of children.

In the event of a breakdown
► Connect the red cable to metallic terminal A,
then to the (+) terminal of backup battery B.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the negative (-) terminal of backup battery B.
► Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to earth point C of your vehicle.
► Operate the starter, let the engine run.
► Wait for the engine to return to idle and
disconnect the cables.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
► Access the battery, located in the left-hand
front floor.
► Disconnect the battery.
► Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
► Reconnect starting with the (-) terminal.
► Check the cleanliness of the terminals. If they
are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove and clean them.
The charging operation must be carried out in a well-ventilated area and away
from naked flames and any sources of sparks
so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to recharge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to avoid the risk of
explosion. If it has frozen, before charging it,
have the battery checked by a specialist who
will check that the interior components have
not been damaged and that the container is
not cracked, which would involve a risk of
leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.
Perform a slow charge at low amperage for
about 24 hours maximum to avoid damaging
the battery.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 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.
After refitting the battery at a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, the Stop
& Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
