FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key
is turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the red
zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time, up to approximately
10 minutes,
- wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and top
it up if necessary.
- 1:
the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.
- 0:
the reserve is now being used, the
warning lamp comes on continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run
at idle. As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching
off the engine before carrying out any
work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow
the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,
- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.

Instruments and controls
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the
last service. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly. The distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by the
time factor, depending on the type of driving.
More than 1 000 miles/km before
the next service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition is
switched on and for a few seconds,
the screen shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
Good practice
This system does not avoid the need to
have the tyre pressures checked regularly
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that
the dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid premature
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of
heavy loads and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre pressures
helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be disturbed by
electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency
close to that used by it. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fitted with this system must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If when changing a tyre, you fit a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not take the
place of vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.

Gearboxes and steering wheel
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
In order to drive as fuel efficiently
as possible with a manual
gearbox, this indicator lamp
indicates to the driver when to
change up.
The driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow this indication, since
the indicator lamp comes on without taking
into account the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety factors.
The system cannot be deactivated.
When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is not active.
Engaging reverse gear
In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
66
Ventilation
Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Use recommended
replacement parts only.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning lamp
is not on.

"GRIP CONTROL"
The accelerator pedal must
be pressed sufficiently
so that the engine power
can be used to effectively
manage the various
parameters. On snow, mud and sand, this traction
system, associated with the Michelin ®
Agilis 51 M+S all terrain tyres, provides a
compromise between safety, adhesion and
traction.
It allows progress to be made in most
conditions of low adhesion.
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive
on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on
other less passable terrain occasionally.
However, particularly when your vehicle is
heavily laden, it does not permit off-road
activities such as:
- crossing and driving on ground which
could damage the underbody or tear off
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...),
particularly by obstacles or stones,
- driving on ground with steep gradients
and poor grip,
- crossing a stream.

FILLING WITH FUEL
Filling with fuel
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off
.
When this warning lamp fi rst comes
on and when the needle is at the
start of the red zone, the minimum
fuel tank level has been reached.
At this moment, you have approximately
8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running out of fuel.
When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this may damage the
emission control and injection systems.
Low fuel level
It is normal to hear the noise of an inrush
of air when the cap is opened as there is a
vacuum caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
More than 8 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.
You can lock this door using the
electric child lock. Refer to "Access" in
section of 2.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.

FUEL CUT-OFF
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming
pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts. The flashing of this warning lamp
is accompanied by a message in
the screen.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position),
- remove the key,
- put the key back in the ignition,
- switch on the ignition and start.
Quality of the fuel used for Dieselengines Quality of the fuel used for petrolengines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (Diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN 228
and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (E100 type).
