If the towball is not locked in place, the trailer could separate. There is a risk of an accident. Always lock the towball in the way described.
Observe the legislation in force in the country in which you are driving. Remove the towball when it is not being used. Before setting off, check that the trailer lighting and signalling works correctly. Maximum authorised nose weight: 70 kg. Refer to the "Technical data" section for the maximum weights and towed loads for your vehicle.
Carrying system (box or bicycle carrier). You must not exceed the maximum nose weight on the towbar: if this weight is exceeded, the device could detach from the vehicle and cause a serious accident.
Practical informationTowing a trailer
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
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. If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

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.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind F Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
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. F To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
F
If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking 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.
Tyres F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball before driving.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine CITROËN towbar is used.

7Practical informationRecommendations F Distribute the load evenly, avoiding
overloading on one side.
F Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
F Anchor the load securely and fit a warning
flag if part of it overhangs the vehicle.
F Drive gently, as the vehicle will be more liable to the effects of side winds (vehicle stability may be affected).
F Remove the roof bars as soon as they are
no longer needed.
Maximum load, distributed over the roof bars, for a loading height not exceeding 40 cm: 80 kg. This value is subject to change, please check the maximum load stated in the instructions provided with he roof bars. If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the vehicle.

Capacity of the tank: approximately 57 litres (petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel). Low fuel level
Refuelling
When the low fuel level is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message and the last bar of the fuel gauge comes on in orange.
When it first comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain in the tank. Until sufficient fuel has been added, this warning lamp appears every time the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible warning and a message. This audible warning and message are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0". Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the START/STOP button.
306
a label on the inside of the fuel filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use, depending on your engine type. Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap may result in an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.
F With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
edge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is a part of it).
F Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle. Introduce the nozzle so as to push in the metal non-return flap A.
F Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of blowback).
F Maintain this position throughout the
refuelling operation.
F Push the fuel flap to close it. If you are filling your tank to the top, do not persist after the 3rd cut-off; this could cause malfunctions.
ChecksMisfuel 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.
The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases. For petrol engines, you must use unleaded fuel. The filler neck is narrower, allowing only unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have the fuel tank drained and filled with the correct fuel before starting the engine.
Fuel cut-off Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.
Operation When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
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 in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device and pour slowly.
Travelling abroad As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible. Before travelling abroad, we 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.

The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
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 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.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement intervals for these components.
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 performance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement interval for this component.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a warning message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off. If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level. Refer to the "diesel additive level" section. on a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly normal. Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.

8Checksadblue® 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. 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.
The adblue® additive is held in a special 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.
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.
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.
316
ChecksRange 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®
The engine start prevention system required by regulations is activated automatically once the AdBlue® tank is empty.
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.
With the type 2 instrument panel, pressing this button temporarily displays the driving range. Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not specified.

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.
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 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.
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.
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. Refer to the "Topping-up" section.

ChecksIn 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
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 it is a temporary fault, the alert disappears during the next journey, after self-diagnosis of the SCR 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 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.
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".
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.

8ChecksTopping-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.
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.
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. 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).
keep adblue® out of the reach of children, in its original bottle. never transfer adblue® to another container: it would lose its purity.
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.
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.
Never top-up from an AdBlue® dispenser reserved for heavy goods vehicles.

ChecksRecommendations on storage 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. If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it has completely thawed out.
never store bottles of adblue® in your vehicle.
Procedure 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.
F Press the START/STOP button to switch
off the engine.
F For access to the adblue® tank, raise the
boot floor, or on 7-seat versions, unfold the right hand seat in the third row.
F Without pressing, turn the black cap a quarter turn anti-clockwise and lift it off.
F Turn the blue cap a 6th of a turn anti-
clockwise.
F Lift off the cap.
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.
321
8ChecksImportant: 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 Depending on equipment, return the spare wheel and/or the storage box to the bottom of the boot.
F Refit the boot carpet and close the tailgate.
F After emptying the bottle, wipe away any
spillage around the tank filler using a damp cloth.
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 Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it a
6th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
F 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.
Important: when topping up after running out of additive, signalled by the message "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented", you must wait for approximately 5 minutes before switching on the ignition, without opening the driver's door, unlocking the vehicle, placing the key of the "Keyless Entry and Starting" system inside the vehicle or inserting the electronic key in the reader. Switch on the ignition, wait for 10 seconds, then start the engine.
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.
