Levels  
 
 
 
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 fault which must be checked by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 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.    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 lamp goes off). 
  During regeneration of the particle emission 
filter, relay noise may be heard under the 
dashboard. 
  If the message is still displayed and if the 
service warning lamp remains on, contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. 
   
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 or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
 
Screenwash and headlamp wash 
level 
  For best quality cleaning and for your safety, 
we would advise that you use products of 
the CITROËN 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 ensure optimum cleaning and prevent 
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or 
replaced with plain water.  
 
 
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 in the screen.    
Topping up 
  This additive must be topped up by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 
without delay.

CHECKS 
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.  
 
 
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 in the system, a drop 
in the brake fluid level indicates that the 
brake pads are worn.  
 
 
Brake disc/drum wear 
 
For any information on checking the brake 
disc/drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
Parking brake 
 
Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
  Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
Oil filter 
 
Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the servicing schedule.  
 
 
Carbon filter and passenger 
compartment filter 
  The carbon filter permits continuous and 
effective filtering of dust. 
  If the passenger compartment filter becomes 
clogged, this may reduce the performance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
unpleasant odours. 
  We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment filter. By means of 
its second special active filter, it contributes 
to the purification of the air breathed by 
the occupants and the cleanness of the 
passenger compartment (reduction of 
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits). 
  Refer to the servicing booklet to find out the 
replacement interval for these components. 
  Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary. 
   
Particle emission filter (Diesel) 
 
This filter actively contributes 
to the preservation of air quality 
by trapping unburnt polluting 
particles. It is controlled 
completely and automatically by the engine 
management system. 
  This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk 
of blockage of the filter. 
  This alert signals the start of saturation of 
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally 
prolonged driving in urban conditions: 
reduced speed, traffic jams…). 
  If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
  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. 
  To regenerate the filter, it is recommended 
that as soon as driving conditions permit, 
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph 
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the 
warning lamp goes off and/or the message 
disappears).    Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.

Checks  
 
 
 
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 specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, 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 in the 
Diesel filter 
  If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed 
regularly each time the engine oil 
is changed. 
  To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed 
screw located on the end of the transparent 
pipe. 
  Operate until all of the water in the 
transparent pipe has been drained out then 
tighten the bleed screw. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. 
  Contact a CITROËN or a qualified workshop 
for all work on the system.     
 
1.6 litre HDi  
   
2 litre HDi  
    During this regeneration, you may notice 
that the idling speed is higher than normal 
and that the cooling fan is running. As 
operation of the exhaust emissions controls 
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to 
reach very high levels, it is recommended 
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily 
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves, 
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).

Repairing a wheel  
 
 
PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT 
 
The kit is located at the rear left of the vehicle. 
  The temporary tyre repair kit consists of a 
compressor and a cartridge (containing a 
sealant). 
   
Using the kit 
 
 
 
-   Switch off the ignition, 
   
-   affix the speed limitation sticker to the 
vehicle's steering wheel to remind you 
that a wheel is in temporary use, 
   
-   check that the switch  A 
 is at position " 0 
", 
   
-   connect the pipe of the bottle  1 
 to the 
valve of the tyre to be repaired, 
   
-   connect the compressor's electrical plug 
to the vehicle's 12 V socket, 
   
-   start the vehicle and let the engine run, 
   
-   switch on the compressor by pressing 
the switch  A 
 to position " 1 
" until the tyre 
pressure reaches 2.0 bars,     
-   remove the compressor, unclip and 
store the bottle in a sealed bag to avoid 
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid, 
   
-   drive immediately, for approximately 
two miles (three kilometres), at reduced 
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and 
60 km/h)), to seal the puncture, 
   
-   stop to check the repair and the pressure, 
   
Vehicles supplied with a temporary 
puncture repair kit do not have a spare 
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...). If, after approximately five to 
ten minutes, you are not able to obtain 
this pressure, the tyre cannot be repaired; 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for roadside assistance.
