Reactivation
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.

 Press button A again, the warn-
ing light switches off, the system
is reactivated.
"HYDRACTIVE III+" ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
styles and to the profi le of the road,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
It allows you to alternate between
soft and fi rm suspension settings,
maximising comfort at the same
time as permanently guaranteeing
the highest level of safety. It also
automatically corrects road holding,
according to the vehicle load and
driving conditions.
Also, the "Hydractive III+" suspen-
sion gives you the possibility of
choosing between two modes of
suspension.
A change of suspension mode can
be made either when the vehicle is
moving or when stationary, by press-
ing on button A . Display on the instrument
panel
The suspension mode selected is
displayed on the instrument panel
display.
Normal mode
This mode favours soft damp-
ing for maximum comfort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceed-
ed, the vehicle reverts auto-
matically to the normal road
position.
SPORT mode This mode favours dynamic
driving.
The warning lamp on but-
ton A comes on in addition
to the message on the in-
strument panel display.

SPORT mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
HDi 110 engine

 Unclip the protective cover
to gain access to the priming
pump. HDi 138 and HDi 173 engines

 Unclip the protective cover
to gain access to the priming
pump.
Priming the fuel circuit
In the event of running out of fuel:

 after fi lling (minimum 5 litres) and
removing the protective cover,
action the manual priming pump,
until some resistance is felt,

 operate the starter motor while
depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly until the engine starts. HDi engines are the result
of advanced technology.
Any intervention requires special
qualifi cations which only a CITROËN
dealer can guarantee.
V6 HDi 208 engine with electric
pump
In the event of running out of fuel:

 after adding fuel, turn the ignition
key to position M , wait for a few
seconds,

 operate the starter motor until
the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start after several
attempts, contact a CITROËN dealer.
If the engine fails to start at the fi rst
attempt, wait fi fteen seconds before
trying again.
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, action the priming pump
again and then try to start the en-
gine.
When the engine is idling, acceler-
ate slightly to complete the bleeding
of the circuit.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up or replaced with water.
Reservoir capacities:
-
screenwash: approximately 3.5 litres,
- screenwash and headlamp wash: approximately 6.15 litres. Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle emission
filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the
skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or
fl uids into sewers or onto
the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
CITROËN network.
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
minimum level of this fl uid is
indicated by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Top up the level when you stop the
vehicle.
Coolant level
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with
a particle emission fi lter, the fan
may operate after the vehicle has
been switched off, even if the en-
gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and in relation to your en-
gine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical information"
section for details of the precautions
to be taken before disconnecting the
battery and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
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
(refer to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment
fi lter may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the air condition-
ing system and generate undesir-
able odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each
time the engine oil is
changed. Particulate filter system
(Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic
converter, this fi lter makes an ac-
tive contribution to the preservation
of air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving
at very low speeds, you may oc-
casionally notice water vapour be-
ing emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no conse-
quence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the instrument
panel display, accompanied by a
sound signal and lighting of the
service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle
fi lter is starting to fi ll up (in condi-
tions of urban driving of excep-
tionally long duration: low speeds,
traffi c jams etc.) .
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised
to drive as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit, at a speed
of 40 mph (around 60 km/h) or
more for at least fi ve minutes (until
the alert message disappears).
If this alert persists, consult a
CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the
replacement interval for this compo-
nent.
