Practical information

Fuel tank

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel) or 33 litres (LPg);

(depending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or diesel)).

Low fuel level

When the fuel tank minimum level is

reached this warning lamp comes on

on the instrument panel. When it first

comes on there remains approximately

5 litres of fuel in the tank.

You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid

running out of fuel.

If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the

"Checks" section.

Filling

A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds

you of the type of fuel to be used depending on

your engine.

Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in

order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

To fill the tank safely:

F

remove the cap and hook it onto the clip

located on the inside of the flap,

fill the tank, but do not continue after the

3rd cut-off of the pump; this could cause

malfunctions.

F

the engine must be switched off,

open the fuel filler flap,

insert the key in the cap, then turn it to the

left,

The key cannot be removed from the

lock until the cap is refitted.

Opening the filler cap may create a

noise caused by an inrush of air. This

vacuum is entirely normal, resulting

from the sealing of the fuel system.

When you have filled the tank:

With Stop & Start, never refuel with the

system in STOP mode; you must switch

off the ignition with the key.

F

put the cap back in place,

turn the key to the right, then remove it

from the cap,

F

close the flap.

Practical information

Fuel used for petrol engines Fuel used for diesel

engines

The petrol engines are compatible with

E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol),

conforming to European standards EN 228 and

EN 15376.

E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)

are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed

for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex

vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must

comply with European standard EN 15293.

The Diesel engines are compatible with

biofuels which conform to current and future

European standards (Diesel fuel which

complies with standard EN 590 mixed with

a biofuel which complies with standard

EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing

up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel

engines. However, this use, even occasional,

requires strict application of the special

servicing conditions. Contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

The use of any other type of (bio)fuel

(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,

domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of

damage to the engine and fuel system).

For the DS 3 RACING, we strongly

recommend the use of 98 RON

unleaded petrol to ensure optimum

operation of the engine (refer to the

label inside the fuel filler flap).

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the

wrong fuel.

Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.

Operation

It remains possible to use a fuel can to

fill the tank.

In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,

do not place the nozzle of the fuel can

recommend that you check with the

CITROËN dealer network, whether

your vehicle is suitable for the fuel

pumps in the country in which you want

to travel.

Practical information

Running out of fuel (Diesel)

If your vehicle has an HDi engine, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel.

This system consists of a priming pump and a transparent pipe under the bonnet.

F

Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of

Diesel.

Open the bonnet.

BlueHdi 100 engines

F

Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of

F

Diesel.

Depending on version, unclip the cover to

gain access to the priming pump.

Squeeze and release the priming pump

until resistance is felt (could be from the

first application) and fuel appears in the

transparent pipe with the green connector.

Operate the starter until the engine starts.

Depending on version, put the cover back

in position and clip it in place.

Switch on the ignition (without starting the

engine).

Wait around 6 seconds and switch off the

ignition.

F

Repeat the operation 10 times.

Operate the starter to run the engine.

F

Close the bonnet.

If the engine does not start at the first

attempt, do not try again.

Operate the priming pump again, then

AdBlue^®additive and SCR system

for BlueHDi Diesel engines

To assure respect for the environment and

conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions

standard, without adversely affecting the

performance or fuel consumption of Diesel

engines, CITROËN has taken the decision to

equip its vehicles with an effective system that

associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)

with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of

exhaust gases.

The AdBlue^®additive is held in a special

Once the AdBlue^®tank is empty,

a system required by regulations

prevents starting of the engine.

If the SCR is faulty, the level of

emissions from your vehicle will no

longer meet the Euro 6 standard: you

vehicle becomes polluting.

In the event of a confirmed fault

with the SCR system, you must go

to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible: after

a running distance of 650 miles

(1 100 km), a system will be triggered

automatically to prevent engine

starting.

tank located under the boot at the rear of

the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this

provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles

(20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered

warning you when the reserve remaining is

enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).

During each scheduled service of your vehicle

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,

the AdBlue^®additive tank is refilled in order to

allow normal operation of the SCR system.

Presentation of the SCR system

Using an additive called AdBlue^®containing

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to

85% of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen

and water, which are harmless to health and

the environment.

If the estimated mileage between two services

is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we

recommend that you go to a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop to have the necessary

top-up carried out.

189

Practical information

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 the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue^®

Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)

The engine start prevention system

required by regulations is activated

automatically once the AdBlue^®tank

is empty.

In the event of simultaneous system fault and

low AdBlue^®level, the shortest range figure is

the one displayed.

When switching on the ignition, the

UREA warning lamp comes on, accompanied

by an audible signal and the display of a

message (e.g.: "Top up emissions additive:

Starting prevented in 900 miles") indicating

the remaining range expressed in miles or

kilometres.

When driving, the message is displayed every

200 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has

been topped-up.

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the AdBlue^®tank topped-up.

You can also top-up the tank yourself.

Refer to the "Topping-up" section.

Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)

When the ignition is switched on, no

information on range is displayed automatically

in the instrument panel.

Remaining range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue^®additive

To be able to start the engine,

we recommend that you call on

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop for the top-up required. If

you carry out the top-up yourself, it is

essential to add at least 3.8 litres of

AdBlue^®to the tank.

When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE

warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning

lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible

signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top

up emissions additive: Starting prevented in

350 miles") indicating the remaining range

expressed in miles or kilometres.

When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE

warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning

lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible

signal and the display of the message "Top up

emissions additive: Starting prevented".

The AdBlue^®tank is empty: the system required

by regulations prevents engine starting.

Refer to the "Topping-up" section.

When driving, the message is displayed every

30 seconds until the additive tank has been

topped-up.

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the AdBlue^®tank topped-up.

You can also top-up the tank yourself.

Refer to the "Topping-up" section.

Otherwise you will not be able to restart your

engine.

191

Practical information

In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions control system

A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions

control system. Have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

In the event of the detection of a fault

during an authorised driving phase (between

650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)

Starting prevented

Every time the ignition is switched on, the SERVICE

and engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and

the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by

an audible signal and the display of the message

"Emissions fault: Starting prevented".

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.

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

display of a message (e.g.: "Emissions fault:

Starting prevented in 150 miles") indicating the

remaining range express in miles or kilometres.

While driving, the message is displayed every

30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system

persists.

The alert is repeated when switching on the

ignition.

You should go to a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon as possible.

Otherwise, you will not be able to restart your

engine.

You have exceeded the authorised

driving limit: the starting prevention

system inhibits engine starting.

To be able to start the engine, you must call on

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert

disappears during the next journey,

after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.

Topping-up the AdBlue^®additive

Filling the AdBlue^®tank is an operation

included in every routine service on your

vehicle by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank,

it may be necessary to top-up the additive

between services, more particularly if an alert

(warning lamps and a message) signals the

requirement.

You can got to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

If you envisage topping-up yourself, please

read the following warnings carefully.

Precautions in use

The AdBlue^®additive is an urea-based

solution. This liquid is non-flammable,

colourless and odourless (kept in a cool area).

In the event of contact with the skin, wash

the affected area with soap and water. In the

event of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate)

the eyes with large amounts of water or with

an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes.

If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get

medical attention.

Use only AdBlue^®additive that meets the

ISO 22241 standard.

Never dilute the additive with water.

Never pour the additive into the Diesel

fuel tank.

If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth

with clean water and then drink plenty of water.

In certain conditions (high ambient

temperature, for example), the risk of release

of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale

the product. Ammonia vapour has en irritant

effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and

throat).

The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies

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

gallon) bottles from a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Freezing of the AdBlue^®additive

The AdBlue^®additive freezes at

temperatures below around -11°C.

The SCR system includes a heater

for the AdBlue^®tank, allowing you to

continue driving in very cold conditions.

Keep AdBlue^®out of the reach of

children, in its original bottle.

Never transfer AdBlue^®to another

container: it would lose its purity.

Never top-up from an AdBlue^®

dispenser reserved for heavy goods

vehicles.

193

Practical information

Recommendations on storage

Procedure

AdBlue^®freezes at about -11°C and

deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended

that bottles be stored in a cool area and

protected from direct sunlight.

Under these conditions, the additive can be

kept for at least a year.

Before topping-up, 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, by freezing, the AdBlue^®cannot

be poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a

warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up

to be carried out.

If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it

has completely thawed out.

F

Switch off the ignition and remove the key.

Never store bottles of AdBlue^®in

your vehicle.

F

For access to the AdBlue^®tank, raise the

boot carpet then, depending on equipment,

lift out the spare wheel and/or the storage

box.

Without pressing, turn the black cap a

quarter turn anti-clockwise and lift it off.

F

Turn the blue cap a 6^thof a turn anti-

clockwise.

Lift off the cap.

F

After emptying the bottle, wipe away any

spillage around the tank filler using a damp

cloth.

Important: in the event of a top-up after

a breakdown because of a lack of

additive, signalled by the message "Top

up emissions additive: Starting prevented",

you must wait around 5 minutes before

switching on the ignition, without opening

the driver's door, locking the vehicle

or introducing the key into the ignition

switch.

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.

F

Obtain a bottle of AdBlue^®. After first

checking the use-by date, read carefully

the instructions on use on the label before

pouring the contents of the bottle into your

vehicle's AdBlue^®tank.

Switch on the ignition, then, after

10 seconds, start the engine.

F

Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it

a 6^thof a turn clockwise, to its stop.

Refit the black cap and turn it a quarter of

a turn clockwise without pressing. Ensure

that the indicator on the cap lines up with

the indicator on the support.

Depending on equipment, return the spare

wheel and/or the storage box to the bottom

of the boot.

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 -

which is confirmed by the alert

messages and the impossibility of

starting the engine, you must add at

least 3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles).

F

Refit the boot carpet and close the tailgate.

Parking the vehicle

Immobilise the vehicle where it does

not block traffic: the ground must be

level, stable and not slippery.

Apply the parking brake, switch off the

ignition and engage first gear* to lock

the wheels.

If necessary, place a chock under the

wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to

be changed.

It is imperative that you ensure that the

occupants get out of the vehicle and

wait where they are safe.

Never go underneath a vehicle raised

using a jack; use an axle stand.

List of operations

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the

ground is slippery or loose, the jack

could slip or drop - Risk of injury!

Take care to position the jack only at

one of the jacking points A or B under

the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle's

contact area is well centred on the

head of the jack. Otherwise, there is a

risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the

Practical information

Battery

Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.

Access to 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 by 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).

Failure to observe this recommendation

may cause premature wear of the

battery.

The battery is located under the bonnet.

To gain access to it:

F

open the bonnet using the interior release

lever, then the exterior safety catch,

secure the bonnet stay,

F

lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.

Starting using another

battery

When the battery on your vehicle is discharged,

the engine can be started using a slave battery

(external or on another vehicle) and jump leads.

Some functions are not available if the

battery is not sufficiently charged.

First check that the slave battery has a nominal

voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to

that of the discharged battery.

Do not try to start the engine by connecting a

battery charger.

Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the

engine is running.

F

Connect the red cable to the positive

terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the

positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.

Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the negative terminal (-) of the

slave battery B (or earth point on the other

vehicle).

F

Start the engine of the other vehicle and

allow it to run for a few minutes.

Operate the starter of the broken-down

vehicle and let the engine run.

If the engine does not start immediately,

switch off the ignition and wait a few

moments before trying again.

F

Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to the negative terminal C

(or the engine mounting) of the broken-

down vehicle.

F

Wait until the engine returns to idle, then

disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.

225

Practical information

Charging the battery using

a battery charger

Protect your eyes and face before

handling the battery.

All operations on the battery must be

carried out in a well ventilated area

away from naked flames and sources

of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of

explosion and fire.

F

Follow the instructions for use provided by

the manufacturer of the charger.

Do not disconnect the battery to charge it.

Do not try to charge a frozen battery;

the battery must first be thawed out to

avoid the risk of explosion. If the battery

has been frozen, before charging have

it checked by a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop who will check

that the internal components have not

been damaged and the casing is not

cracked, which could cause a leak of

toxic and corrosive acid.

Batteries contain harmful substances such

as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be

disposed of in accordance with regulations

and must not, in any circumstances, be

discarded with household waste.

Take used remote control batteries and

vehicle batteries to a special collection

point.

Do not reverse the polarity and use

only a 12 V charger.

Do not disconnect the terminals while

the engine is running.

Do not charge the batteries without

disconnecting the terminals first.

Wash your hands afterwards.

Do not push the vehicle to start the

engine if you have an electronic or

automatic gearbox.

Energy economy mode

Load reduction mode

System which manages the use of certain

functions according to the level of charge

remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the load

reduction function temporarily deactivates

certain functions, such as the air conditioning,

the heated rear screen...

System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of

charge in the battery.

After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen

wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of

thirty minutes.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically

This period may be greatly reduced if

the battery is not fully charged.

The deactivated functions are reactivated

automatically as soon as conditions permit.

the next time the vehicle is driven.

F

In order to resume the use of these

functions immediately, start the engine and

let it run for a few minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message

appears in the screen indicating that the

vehicle has switched to economy mode and the

active functions are put on standby.

The time available to you will then be double

the period for which the engine is left running.

However, this period will always be between

five and thirty minutes.

If the telephone is being used at the

same time, it will be interrupted after

10 minutes.

A flat battery prevents the engine from

starting.

Towing a trailer

driving advice

distribution of loads

We recommend the use of genuine

CITROËN towbars and their harnesses

that have been tested and approved

from the design stage of your vehicle,

and that the fitting of the towbar is

entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

F

Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest items are as close as possible to

the axle and the nose weight approaches

the maximum permitted without

exceeding it.

If the towbar is not fitted by a

Air density decreases with altitude, thus

reducing engine performance. Above

1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must

be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of

altitude.

CITROËN dealer, it must still be

fitted in accordance with the vehicle

manufacturer's instructions.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for

transporting people and luggage, but it may

also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving with a trailer places greater

demands on the towing vehicle and the

driver must take particular care.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for

details of the weights and towed loads

which apply to your vehicle.

231

Practical information

Towing with the RACIng version

Side wind

Braking

F

Take into account the increased sensitivity

to side wind.

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.

To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long

mountain type of descent, the use of engine

braking is recommended.

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the

temperature of the coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling

capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.

Tyres

F

Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

F

To lower the engine speed, reduce your

speed.

Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a

towbar. The space occupied by the

sport diffuser prevents this.

The maximum towed load on a long incline

depends on the gradient and the ambient

temperature.

Lighting

In all cases, keep a check on the coolant

temperature.

F

Check the electrical lighting and signalling

on the trailer.

F

If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come on,

stop the vehicle and switch off

the engine as soon as possible.

The rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically if a genuine

CITROËN towbar is used.

Advice on care and maintenance

Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.

We recommend the use of a high pressure

jet wash, or at least a water hose with a high

output.

We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using

de-ionised water.

Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle.

It must be clean and used without heavy

pressure.

Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the

bodywork using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.

From the range of cleaning and maintenance

products in the "TECHNATURE" range

recommended and approved by CITROËN,

use only the insect remover and car shampoo,

which are the only products to be used on the

bodywork.

The insect remover can also be used to remove

minor marks (for example: finger marks...).

Always have paint repairs done by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Matt paint

Never clean the vehicle without water.

Never wash your vehicle in an

automatic roller brush car wash.

Never polish the vehicle body, nor the

alloy wheels. Doing this will make the

paintwork shiny.

If you vehicle is finished with a clear matt

lacquer, please observe the following

recommendations to avoid damaging the

paintwork by the use of an inappropriate

cleaning procedures.

These recommendations are also valid for alloy

road wheels finished with clear matt lacquer.

Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive

products or paint polishing or

preserving products (such as wax,

for example) on the paintwork. These

products are only suitable for bright

finishes. Application of these products

on vehicles with a matt finish will

seriously damage the paint surface of

the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible

shiny or stained areas.

Never use a high pressure jet wash

with a lance fitted with a brush, this

may scratch the paintwork.

Never select a wash programme that

finishes with a hot wax cycle.
