CHECKS
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing book-
let for the details of the level
checking interval for this com-
ponent.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the level checking
interval for this component.
Manual parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Only use products recommend-
ed by CITROËN or products of
equivalent quality and specifi ca-
tion.
In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as the
braking system, CITROËN se-
lects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited
.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
According to your version of instrument
panel, the start of saturation of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter is indicated by:
On a new vehicle, the fi rst opera-
tions of regeneration of the particle
emissions fi lter may be accom-
panied by the smell of "burning",
which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emis-
sion of water vapour at the ex-
haust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the
vehicle or the environment.
- fi xed illumination of the
particle emissions fi lter
warning lamp, accompa-
nied by an audible signal,
or
- temporary illumination of
the service warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message that
there is a risk of blockage of
the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"Additive level" section.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
Brake pads
Brake disc wear
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 in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.

tridge into the environment, take
it to an authorised waste dispos-
al site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new
sealant cartridge, available from
CITROËN dealers or from a
qualifi ed workshop.
Checking tyre pressures/inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, with-
out injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your
tyres,
- infl ate other accessories (balls, bi-
cycle tyres...).
)
Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.
)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.
)

tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.
)
Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative terminal
(-) of the slave battery B
.
)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the remote nega-
tive terminal (-) of your vehicle .
)
Start the slave vehicle.
)
Operate the starter of the broken
down vehicle and let the engine

)
Wait until the engine returns to idle
and disconnect the cables.
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.
To gain access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interior
release lever, then the exterior safe-
ty catch,
)
secure the bonnet stay,
)
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.
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
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air condi-
tioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
Do not disconnect the battery to
charge it.
)
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger. Batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.
Do not push the vehicle to start
the engine if your vehicle is fi tted
with an electronic gearbox.
