CHECKING THE LEVELS

Dipstick

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Note:
avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
CITROËN network.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.

Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a parti-
cle fi lter, the engine fan may operate
after the ignition has been switched
off, even when the engine is cold.



There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A
= maximum
Never fi ll past this
mark.

B
= minimum

To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.


Brake fluid level:

The brake fl uid must be changed according
to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 stan-
dards.

Note:
brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.


Cooling system

Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate 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 two turns to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level.

Used oil

Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.


Power steering reservoir



)
Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.



Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
CITROËN.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.


Oil level



)
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dipstick.

agonally opposite the wheel to be
changed, using the chock 2
.

- Remove the wheel trim using the
wheelbrace 1
, by pulling at the
valve passage hole.

- Slacken the wheel bolts.

- Place the jack under the locat-
ing point on the sub-frame A

that is closest to the wheel to be
changed. Ensure that the entire
surface of the jack base plate is
in contact with the ground.

- Extend the jack, completely un-
screw the bolts and remove the
wheel.

Access to the spare wheel and
the jack
The wheel is located outside the ve-
hicle, under the rear fl oor, supported
by a metal carrier.


- Remove the jack and the wheelbrace 1
, secured behind the driver's
seat.

- Remo
ve the jack and the wheelbrace 1
secured in an interior housing
above the rear right wheel.

- Using the wheelbrace 1
, slacken the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt,
located on the inside near the closing system.

- Lift the carrier to release the hook rearwards, then lower it.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the "accessories" position,
certain functions (windscreen wiper,
electric windows, courtesy lights,
audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then
be double the duration for which the
engine is left running. However, this
period will always be between fi ve
and thirty minutes.
BATTERY

It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.



Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, you must wait 2 minutes
after switching off the ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal
when the engine is running.
Never charge a battery without fi rst
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and the roof before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be initialised. If
slight diffi culties are experienced af-
ter this, please contact a CITROËN
dealer.

A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting.
To start the vehicle from
another battery:


- Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two bat-
teries,

- Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the slave battery,

- Connect the other end of the
green or black cable to an earth
point on the broken down vehi-
cle as far as possible from the
battery (for example, right-hand
engine mounting).
Operate the starter, let the engine run.

Wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables.

To charge the battery using a
battery charger:


- Disconnect the battery,

- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger man-
ufacturer,

- Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal,

- Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.
