Reactivation

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
When the speed of the vehicle is
below about 6 mph (10 km/h), some
sources of noise (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, ...) may trigger the
audible parking sensor signals.

Press button A
again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is
reactivated.









"HYDRACTIVE III +"
ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
styles and to the profi le of the road,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
The system alternates between soft
and fi rm suspension settings, maxi-
mising comfort at the same time as
constantly ensuring the highest level
of safety. It also automatically cor-
rects ride height, according to the
vehicle load and driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" sys-
tem allows you to choose between
two modes of suspension.
A change of suspension mode can
be made either when the vehicle is
moving or when stationary, by press-
ing button A
.


Display in the instrument
panel
The suspension mode selected is
displayed in the instrument panel
screen.

Normal mode
This mode favours soft
damping for maximum com-
fort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceeded,
the vehicle reverts automatically to the
normal road position.


SPORT mode
This mode favours dynamic
driving.

The warning lamp on button A

comes on in addition to the
message in the instrument
panel screen.

SPORT
mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.

Vehicle positions


High position
Changing a wheel (not possible if
speed > 6mph (10km/h)).

Mid-high position
For increased ground clearance (not
possible if speed > 25 mph (40 km/h)).
For use on diffi cult roads when trav-
elling at reduced speed, as well as
on car park ramps.
Position changes may only be
made when the engine is running.
The adjustable ground clearance
meets all types of situation. Apart
from a few specifi c situations, the
vehicle should be in the Normal
position.


)
Press once on one of the adjust-
ment controls.
The change in position is indicated
by a message on the instrument
panel screen.
Normal position
If the speed authorised for a particu-
lar position is exceeded, the vehicle
reverts automatically to the normal
position.


Low position
To facilitate loading or unloading the
vehicle.
For workshop inspections.
Not to be used in normal driving (not
possible if speed > 6mph (10km/h)).

DRIVING

Request not granted

The instrument panel screen tempo-
rarily displays a message indicating
that this position is not authorised.
The vehicle remains in the autho-
rised position and the instrument
panel screen indicates this position
to you.


Automatic variation of ground clear-
ance


- If your speed exceeds 70 mph
(approx. 110 km/h), on a good
road surface, ground clearance
is lowered. The vehicle returns
to its normal position if the road
surface deteriorates or if your
speed is lower than 55 mph (ap-
prox. 90 km/h).

- At low or medium speed, if the
road surface is poor, ground
clearance is increased. The ve-
hicle returns to its normal posi-
tion as soon as conditions allow.

- On switching off the ignition, the
ground clearance is reduced to
the parking position.


For your safety if you are operating
underneath the vehicle, you must
support the vehicle with axle stands.

CHECKS



































CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Oil level


Oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your
engine and conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.



Brake fluid level


Fluid change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.
This fl uid must be changed regu-
larly. Fluid which has been used for
too long may cause a loss of braking
effi ciency.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
The reading will only be
correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine
has been off for more than
30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys.
Take care when doing anything
under the bonnet, as some parts
of the engine can be extremely hot
(risk of burns). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the reliability
of the engine and emission con-
trol system, the use of additives
in the engine oil is prohibited.


Power steering fluid or power
steering and suspension
fluid level
This fl uid must be topped up
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level,

- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the type of oil suited
to your engine.

CHECKS





























CHECKS

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and according to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


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 battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.


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
(refer to the "Engines"
section).
A clogged passenger compartment
fi lter may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the air condition-
ing system and generate undesirable
odours.


Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each
time the engine oil is
changed.






Particle filter system (Diesel)

Complementary to the catalytic con-
verter, this fi lter makes an active
contribution to the preservation of air
quality by the retaining of the 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 particle
fi lter is starting to fi ll up (in condi-
tions of urban driving of exception-
ally 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, consult a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the replacement interval for
this component.






The presence of this label, in par-
ticular with the Stop & Start system,
indicates the use of a specifi c 12 V
lead-acid battery with special tech-
nology and specifi cation, for which
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
required when replacing or discon-
necting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommenda-
tion may shorten the life of the battery.
