Brake pads

Electric parking brake

Brake wear depends on the style

of driving, particularly in the case

of vehicles used in town, over short

distances. It may be necessary to

have the condition of the brakes checked, even

between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in

the brake fluid level indicates that the brake

pads are worn.

This system does not require any

routine servicing. However, in the

event of a problem, have the system

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

units as important as those in the

braking system, CITROËN selects and

offers very specific products.

For more information, refer to the "Electric

parking brake - Operating faults" section.

After washing the vehicle, dampness,

or in wintry conditions, ice can form

on the brake discs and pads: braking

efficiency may be reduced. Make light

brake applications to dry and defrost

the brakes.

Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake

disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop.

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.

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.

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.

Range indicators

Use only AdBlue^®additive that meets the

ISO 22241 standard.

Precautions in use

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.

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.

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.

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.

261

Checks

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

Press the START/STOP button to switch

off the engine.

Never store bottles of AdBlue^®in your
