Windscreen and headlamp
wash
Low screenwash / headlamp wash
fl uid level
On vehicle fi tted with headlamp wash-
ers, the low level of this fl uid is indicat-
ed by gauge in the reservoir fi ller neck
under the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fl uid can
should be done with the engine off.
The level of this fl uid should be checked
regularly, particularly during winter.
Refer to "Checks - Screenwash / head-
lamp wash level" section for the proce-
dure on checking the level.
Pull the windscreen wiper stalk to-
wards you. The windscreen wash
then the windscreen wipers operate
for a fi xed period.
The headlamp washers only operate
when the dipped or main beam head-
lamps are on
, with the vehicle moving
.
To reduce the consumption of
the fl uid by the headlamp wash-
ers, they operate only with every
seventh use of the screenwash
or every 25 miles (40 km) during
a given journey.

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 corro-
sive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
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.
Additive level (Diesel with
particle emissions filter)
The additive reservoir low level is indi-
cated by:
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-
out delay by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
- fi xed illumination of the par-

Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to
avoid freezing, the fl uid should never be
topped up or replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of a fl uid
with an ethyl alcohol or methanol base
is recommended.
To check the level or top up
the fl uid on vehicle fi tted with
headlamp washers, immobilise
the vehicle and switch of the
engine.
Open the bonnet and secure it with
the stay.
Open the screenwash reservoir fi ll-
er cap.
Take and pinch the level gauge to
block its breather.
Remove the gauge completely from
the reservoir to read the level in the
transparent section.
Top up if necessary.
Refi t the fi ller cap to the reservoir
and close the bonnet.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
197
CHANGING A BULB
The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:
do not clean them using a
dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,
use a sponge and soapy wa-
ter or a pH neutral product,
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not keep the lance direct-
ed towards the lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not
to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has
been switched off for a few min-
utes (risk of serious burns).
Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use a lint-
free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to
avoid damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with
a new bulb with the same type
and specifi cation.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must
be replaced by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
