CHECKS
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.
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 corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl u-
ids 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. The additive reservoir
low level is indicated
by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the multifunction
screen.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
For vehicles fi tted with a particle
emissions fi lter, the cooling fan may
continue to run after stopping the
vehicle, even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next
stop the vehicle.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain
water.
Reservoir capacity (depending on
version).
- screenwash fl uid: approximately
3.5 litres,
- screenwash and headlamp wash
fl uid: approximately 6.15 litres.

CHECKS
12 V battery
The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical information"
section for details of the precautions
to be taken before disconnecting the
battery and following its reconnection.
Particle filter system (Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic con-
verter, this fi lter makes an active
contribution to the preservation of air
quality by trapping unburnt pollutant
particles. Black exhaust fumes are
thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally no-
tice water vapour being emitted from
the exhaust when accelerating. This is
of no consequence to the running of
the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of blockage, a mes-
sage appears in the instrument
panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal and illumination of
the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the par-
ticle fi lter is approaching satura-
tion (in conditions of urban driving
of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffi c jams etc.)
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised
to drive as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit, at a speed
of 40 mph (around 60 km/h) or
more for at least fi ve minutes (until
the alert message disappears).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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 specifi -
cation. The involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-
tial when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the servicing booklet and ac-
cording to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing
booklet for details of the
replacement intervals for
these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driv-
ing), replace them twice as often if
necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment
fi lter may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the air condition-
ing system and generate undesirable
odours.
Replace the oil fi lter each
time the engine oil is
changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the replacement interval for
this component.

CHECKS
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of ve-
hicles 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.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Brake disc wear
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness
of this system is noticed,
the parking brake must be
checked, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
Do not use a dry cloth with an abra-
sive product for the maintenance of
aluminium parts; use a sponge and
soapy water.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited
. Refer to the servicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval
for this component.
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the level checking interval for
this component.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
)
Connect the compressor's elec-
tric plug to the vehicle's 12 V
socket again.
)
Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.
)
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch A
in position "1"
; to defl ate:
switch A
in position "0"
and
press button B
), in accordance
with the vehicle's tyre pressure
label (located on the door aper-
ture on the left-hand side), then
remember to check that the leak
has been plugged correctly (no
further loss of pressure after
several miles [kilometres]).
)
Remove the compressor, then
store the whole kit.
)
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the dis-
tance travelled to approximately
120 miles (200 km).
)
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop as soon as
possible to have the tyre repaired
or replaced by a technician. Take care as sealant cartridge
contains ethylene-glycol. This
product is harmful if swallowed
and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
The expiry date of the sealant is
indicated on the base of the car-
tridge.
The cartridge is designed for a sin-
gle use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take it
to a CITROËN dealer or an autho-
rised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new car-
tridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the tyre under-
infl ation warning lamp will remain on
after the wheel has been repaired
until the system is reinitialised by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
