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.

CHANGING A FUSE
The three fuse boxes are placed:
- in the fascia panel on the right-hand side (behind the storage compartment,
retractable),
- in the passenger compartment (battery compartment),
- under the bonnet.
Removing and fitting a fuse
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
fault must be found and rectified.
- Use the pliers.
Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from
the installation of auxiliary accessories
not supplied and not recommended by
CITROËN and not installed in accordance
with its instructions, in particular when
the combined consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes.
The descriptions communicated are only
the fuses which can be changed by the
user using the pliers and replacement fuses
located behind the fascia panel storage
compartment on the right-hand side. For any
other operations, visit a CITROËN dealer.
Intended for professionals: for complete
fuse and relay information, consult the
"Methods" diagram via the Network.
