Practical Information -> Advice on care and maintenance for Your Citroen C5 SUV 2020

Practical information  
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)  
To respect the environment and ensure  
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without  
adversely affecting the performance or fuel  
consumption of 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.  
Headlamps and lamps  
Driving with under-inflated tyres 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!  
The headlamps have polycarbonate  
lenses with a protective coating.  
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive  
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent  
products.  
Use a sponge and soapy water.  
The use of a high pressure jet wash for  
cleaning the headlamps, lamps and their  
surrounds may damage the lacquer and  
seals.  
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.  
Using different size wheels and tyres from  
those specified can affect the lifetime of  
tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the  
speedometer reading and have an adverse  
effect on road holding.  
SCR system  
Observe the recommendations on  
pressure and distance for jet washing.  
First clean persistent stains with a sponge  
and warm soapy water.  
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains  
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of  
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and  
water, which are harmless to health and the  
environment.  
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles  
can cause the ESC to mistime.  
The AdBlue® is contained in  
a special tank holding about  
17 litres.

Advice on care and maintenance  
Recommendations on the care and  
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the  
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.  
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate  
regular care and cleaning is essential for its  
durability.  
Its capacity allows a driving range of  
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km), highly  
dependent on your driving style.  
An alert system is triggered automatically once  
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive  
for a further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the  
tank is empty.  
Refer to your vehicle's Maintenance and  
Warranty guide for information on all the  
special precautions to observe.
