CHECKS
Additive level (Diesel with particle emissions filter)
According to your version of instrument
panel, the additive reservoir low level is
indicated by:

Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-
out delay by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used
oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health or indeed very corro-
sive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised
waste disposal site.
CHECKS

Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servic-
ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Battery
The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
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),
replace them twice as often if neces-
sary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
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.





The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and speci-
fi cation, for which the involvement of a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop is required when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation
may shorten the life of the battery. 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.

tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.

BATTERY

Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the engine
using another battery.
The battery is located under the bonnet.

The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with spe-
cial technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recom-
mendation may cause prema-
ture wear of the battery.

After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop, the Stop & Start sys-
tem will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic condi-
tions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay au-
dio navigation system, it will be
interrupted after 10 minutes. A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message ap-
pears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.


)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine is
left running. However, this period will al-
ways be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
CHANGING A FRONT OR REARWIPER BLADE

blade with a new one without the use
of tools.

Before removing a front wiper blade



)

the ignition, operate the wiper stalk
to position the wiper blades in the
vertical position.
This position must be used in order to
avoid damaging the wiper blade and the
bonnet.


Removal



)

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations donot function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).

An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.

The traffi c announcement(TA) is displayed. I donot receive any traffi c information.
The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c information.

The quality of receptionof the radio station listened to graduallydeteriorates or the stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through whichthe vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.

With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating timedepends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
The message "the Audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is toohigh, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protectionmode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
Switch the Audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
