Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your
engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is controlled by the engine
fan. As this fan can operate with the ignition
key removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at least one
hour after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible. The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
Diesel additive level(Diesel with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service warning
light, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message on the display.
When this occurs with the engine running it
is due to the start of saturation of the particle
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged
urban type driving conditions: low speed,
long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
permit (until the message disappears and
the service warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
fascia.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning light remains on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Windscreen wash and headlamp wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the CITROËN Universal range.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
To guarantee optimum cleaning and prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is topped up
by a CITROËN dealer without delay.

Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer ’s servicing schedule. To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule, refer
to the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle’s engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and characteristics.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking circuit, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.

Bleeding the water contained inthe diesel filter
If this warning light comes on,
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine is
drained.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
Operate until all of the water in the
transparent pipe has been drained out then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work requires a special qualification
which is guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer.

FILLING WITH FUEL
FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off .offoff
DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re- priming pump, under the bonnet under
the protective cover, until fuel appears in
the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts. Low fuel level
When the needle is at the start of
the red zone, the minimum fuel
tank level is reached when this
warning light comes on. At this moment,
you have approximately 8 litres of fuel
remaining. Fill up without delay to avoid
running out of fuel.
When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.
You can lock this door using the
electric child lock. Refer to the
"Accesses" section of chaper 2.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap. .
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.
The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
the display.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position).
- remove the key.
- put the key back in the ignition.
- switch on the ignition and start.

Battery
BATTERY
This is housed in a compartment located
underneath the floor, in front of the driver ’s
seat. Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties
are experienced after this, please contact a
CITROËN dealer. It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. After the engine has stopped, with the key
in the ignition position, certain functions
(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy
lights, audio equipment, etc.) can only be used
for a cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
prevent discharging of the battery.
To charge the battery using a battery charger
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them
To start the vehicle from another battery
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the
broken down vehicle as far as possible
from the battery,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables. Once the thirty minutes are over, the active
functions are put on standby and the battery
warning light flashes accompanied by a
message on the display.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double the
time for which the engine was left running.
However, this time will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
A flat battery will prevent the engine from
starting.
