Cooling system
Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at CITROËN dealer (France) or an
authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).

FUEL CUT-OFF
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine. The fl ashing 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.
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to prime the fuel circuit:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of Diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 6. Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
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 qualifi ed
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).

Battery
BATTERY
Before disconnecting the battery, you
must wait for 2 minutes after switching
off the ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without fi rst
disconnecting the terminals.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If problems
remain after doing this, please contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
After changing bulbs, wait
approximately 3 minutes before
reconnecting the battery.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.
To charge the battery using a
battery charger
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect them
and clean them.
To start the vehicle from
another battery
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the
two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on
the broken down vehicle as far as
possible from the battery,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
The presence of this label
indicates the use of a 12 V
lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation, for which
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or qualifi ed workshop is required when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this
recommendation may cause premature
wear of the battery.
After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
several hours depending on the
climatic conditions and the state of
charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).
The Stop & Start battery does not have
to be disconnected for charging.

ECONOMY MODE
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the ignition position, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, electric
windows, courtesy lamps, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for a
cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, the
active functions are put on standby
and the battery warning lamp fl ashes
accompanied by a message in the
screen.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it
run for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double
the time for which the engine was left
running. However, this time will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
A fl at battery will prevent the engine
from starting.

If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar,
it is sometimes necessary to raise
the vehicle slightly to make it easier
to remove the spare wheel from its
carrier.
On certain types of ground and/
or if considerable loads are being
transported, call a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
