Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is in-
dicated by lighting of the service warn-
ing light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multifunc-
tion display.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a CITROËN dealer with-
out delay.
Used products CHECKS
Battery Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the “Practical information” sec-
tion 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 servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), re-
place them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the “Engines” paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours. Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried out
by a CITROËN dealer.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any 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 containers
provided for this purpose in the
CITROËN network. Do not discard the oil fi lter through
public channels, deposit it in the con-
tainers dedicated to this use in the
CITROËN network.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

Manual gearbox Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of gearbox mainte-
nance.
Brake pads Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn. Brake disc wear status
For any information relating
to checking of the brake
disc wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake If the handbrake travel is too
long or if you notice a loss of
effectiveness of this system,
the handbrake must be
adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations. In order to optimise the
operation of units as important
as the braking system,
CITROËN selects and offers very
specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
Transfer box and rear
differential Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the service inter-
val for these components.

NAVIGATION-GUIDANCE
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
the route and fi nally it provides the visual
and audible guidance instructions. What precautions should be
observed in order to use the system
under good conditions?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the window.
The GPS (Global Positioning
System) consists of several
satellites distributed around
the earth. They continuously
transmit digital signals
which travel at the speed of light, on 2
different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to
deduce its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the
map database stored on the hard disc
permits repositioning of the vehicle’s
position on the road network in order
to improve the accuracy of the locating
function. What is a point of interest (POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section “Points of interest
icon”).
They are classifi ed in
5 groups and identifi ed by one colour
for each group:
- Shops, fi nance and businesses (Green),
- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),
- Restaurants (Orange),
- Public places and emergency services (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS
The system’s measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle’s situation and
the reception of the GPS information, the
displayed information may disappear
from the display temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, etc.

General notes on CDs
Playing an audio CD When the audio CD is
inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is
automatic and they can
be recorded onto the
hard disc.
Simultaneous access to the music
recognition service “Gracenote CDDB”
on the hard disc permits displaying of
the title information. Switching off the engine or removing
the CD during recording will result in the
tracks being faulty.
The operation of the navigation system
may slow down during recording.
The recording speed may be slower
than 4x due to the processing load on
the equipment or the condition of the
audio CD.
If jumps or other errors occur, return to
the beginning of the track and start the
recording again.
Even if there is no gap between the
tracks on the CD, a brief silence between
tracks is stored on the hard disc. What is the Gracenote CDDB?
The title information for the
track currently being played
can be obtained from the
“Gracenote CDDB” database
stored on the hard disc.
The Gracenote company uses
this standard to identify the music and
the associated information such as:
- the title of the album,
- the name of the artist,
- the title of the tracks,
- the genre, ...
For further details, consult the site:
www.gracenote.com.
The Gracenote CDDB database
incorporated in this equipment cannot
guarantee the content of the data
100%. You can update this database
using a DVD sold separately.
Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you to
listen to music which is usually protected
by copyright in accordance with current
national and international standards.
Please consult these standards and
comply with them.
Recording onto the music server
The tracks of audio CDs (not
MP3/WMA) can be recorded
onto the hard disc at approxi-
mately 4x speed (e.g. 60 minutes con-
verted to 15 minutes) and stored on the
music server.
The sounds recorded may be altered
by the noise present and the quality of
the sound may differ from the original.
The tracks recorded on the music
server cannot be reproduced on another
medium (CD-R/RW, HDD, etc.).
Previously recorded tracks cannot be
recorded again from the same CD.
