Driving safety
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure during
driving, and trigger a warning in the
event of a malfunction (speed greater
t h a n a p p r o x . 1 5 m p h [ 2 5 k m / h ] ) o r
p u n c t u r e .
An outline representing one or more

Flat tyre
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "Tyre(s)
d e fl a t e d " , an outline on the display,
a n d a n a u d i b l e s i g n a l .
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
p o s s i b l e . If the damaged tyre is temporarily
stored in the boot, it will again emit
this message to remind you of the
n e c e s s i t y o f h a v i n g i t r e p a i r e d . T h i s w i l l
prevent another warning of the same
t y p e b e i n g d i s p l a y e d .
Sensor(s) not detected
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message "X tyre
pressure sensor(s) missing" , an
outline on the display and an audible
s i g n a l .
U n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n i s a b s e n t
f r o m o n e ( o r s e v e r a l ) t y r e ( s ) . C o n s u l t a
CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty
s e n s o r ( s ) . This message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away
from the vehicle (being repaired)
or when a wheel without a sensor is
fi t t e d .
All repairs and changing of
t y r e s o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s
system must be carried out by a
C I T R O Ë N d e a l e r .
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of
the
vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the spare
wheel), to ensure that the dynamic
performance of the vehicle remains at
its best and to avoid premature wear
of the tyres, in particular in the case
of arduous driving (heavy load, high
s p e e d ) .
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
f r e q u e n c y c l o s e t o i t .
Puncture
The STOP warning light
comes on, accompanied
by the message
"Punctured tyre(s)" , an outline on the
d i s p l a y a n d a n a u d i b l e s i g n a l .
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and
t h e b r a k e s .
Change the damaged (punctured or
v e r y d e fl a t e d ) t y r e , a n d h a v e t h e t y r e
p r e s s u r e c h e c k e d a s s o o n a s p o s s i b l e .

Levels
Cooling system
O n l y u s e t h e fl u i d r e c o m m e n d e d b y
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.
I f fl u i d h a s t o b e a d d e d f r e q u e n t l y ,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
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. During regeneration of the particle
e m i s s i o n fi l t e r , r e l a y n o i s e m a y b e
heard under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and
the service warning light remains on,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Diesel additive level (Diesel with
particle emission filter)
When this occurs with the engine running,
this is due to the start of saturation of
t h e p a r t i c l e e m i s s i o n fi l t e r ( e x c e p t i o n a l l y
prolonged urban driving conditions: low
s p e e d , l o n g t r a f fi c j a m s , . . . ) .
I n o r d e r t o r e g e n e r a t e t h e fi l t e r , y o u
are advised to drive at a speed of
more than 40 mph (60 km/h) as soon

p e r m i t , f o r a t l e a s t fi v e m i n u t e s ( u n t i l
the message disappears and the
service warning light is switched off).
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
b o t t l e . I f m o r e t h a n 1 l i t r e o f fl u i d i s
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 range.
To avoid ice forming, do not use water.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a CITROËN dealer
without delay.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
B r a k e fl u i d i s h a r m f u l t o h e a l t h a n d
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl u i d o r c o o l a n t i n t o d r a i n s o r o n t o
the ground but into the containers
dedicated to this use at CITROËN
dealerships.
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.

CHECKS
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide which correspond
to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products
of equivalent quality and
s p e c i fi c a t i o n .
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
s p e c i fi c p r o d u c t s .
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
Oil filter
C h a n g e t h e fi l t e r r e g u l a r l y , i n
accordance with the servicing
schedule. Refer to the servicing booklet to
fi n d o u t t h e r e p l a c e m e n t i n t e r v a l
for these components.
Depending on the environment
(dusty atmosphere...) and the use of
the vehicle (urban driving...), change
them twice as often if necessary.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet" section
of chapter 6.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
fi l t e r m a i n t e n a n c e i s c a r r i e d o u t b y a
CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment. Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
d r o p i n t h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l i n d i c a t e s
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter

with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
