Windscreen and headlamp wash
Windscreen wash
Pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards
you. The windscreen wash then the
windscreen wipers operate for a fixed
period.
It operates only when the headlamps are off or
the vehicle is stationary.
Low screenwash / headlamp
wash fl uid level
On vehicle fitted with headlamp washers, the
low level of this fluid is indicated by gauge in
the reservoir filler neck under the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fluid can should
be done with the engine off.
The level of this fluid should be
checked regularly, particularly during
winter.
Refer to "Checks - Screenwash / headlamp
wash level" section for the procedure on
checking the level.
Headlamp wash
Associated with the windscreen wash, the
headlamp washers operate with the vehicle
moving, when the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on
.
To reduce the consumption of the fluid
by the headlamp washers, they operate
only with every seventh use of the
screenwash or every 25 miles (40 km)
during a given journey.

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by the
fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level. To check the level or top up the
fluid on vehicle fitted with headlamp
washers, immobilise the vehicle and
switch of the engine.

261Practical information
Changing a bulb
The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:
do not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
use a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks, do not
keep the lance directed 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 minutes (risk of serious
burns).
Do not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, 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
specification.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must be
replaced by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Bulbs with lugs, type H1, H7... take care
to position them correctly to ensure the
best lighting.
