Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel;
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
view.
1.6 litre HDi engine
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel.
Open the bonnet.
If necessary, unclip the styling cover for
access to the priming pump.
Squeeze and release the priming pump
repeatedly until resistance is felt (there
may be resistance at the first press).
Operate the starter until the engine starts
(if the engine does not start at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).
If the engine does not start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again
then start the engine.
Clip the styling cover back in place.
Close the bonnet.
If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with
a misfuel prevention device, refer to the
"Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.
2 litre HDi engine
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel.
Open the bonnet.
If necessary, unclip the style cover for
access to the priming pump.
Slacken the bleed screw.
Squeeze and release the priming pump
repeatedly until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe.
Tighten the bleed screw.
Operate the starter until the engine starts
(if the engine fails to start at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again,
then the starter.
Put the style cover back in position and
clip it in place, ensuring that it has clipped
correctly.
Close the bonnet.
If the engine does not start first
time, don't keep trying but start the
procedure again from the beginning.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
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.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns)
and the cooling fan could start at any
time (even with the ignition off).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two ser vices (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.

Additive level (Diesel with
particle emissions filter)
Topping up
The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
Open the bonnet and secure it with the
stay.
Open the screenwash reser voir filler cap.
Take and pinch the level gauge to block its
breather.
Remove the gauge completely from
the reser voir to read the level in the
transparent section.
Top up if necessary.
Refit the filler cap to the reservoir and
close the bonnet.
Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of a fluid
with an ethyl alcohol or methanol base is
recommended.
According to your version of instrument panel,
the additive reser voir low level is indicated by:
-
fixed illumination of the par ticle
emissions filter warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and
a message that the particle emissions
filter additive level is too low,
or
- fixed illumination of the ser vice
warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
that the particle emissions filter
additive level is too low.

Access to bulbs
Depending on the engine and only on the left
hand side, you must first carry out the following
operations for access to the protective covers
on the bulbs.
Remove the air deflector by unclipping
each of its three attachment points.
Unclip the bonnet release cable at its two
fixings.
Move the cable down.
After changing the failed bulb, remember to
put everything back in place (cable and air
deflector).
Front lamps
12 V battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
release the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior safety catch,
raise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
lift the plastic cover for access to the (+)
terminal.
Access to the battery
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge
of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox in
neutral, then switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the suspension damper mounting.
B.
Vehicle identification number on the dashboard.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the following information:
- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,
- the tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
- the spare tyre inflation pressure,
- the paint colour code.
