Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label inthe door aperture, driver's side. Carry out this check in par ticular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle toavoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down toa consistent average.

STOP
fixed, alone or associated withanother warning lamp,accompanied by anaudible signal and a
message on the screen.
The illumination of this warning lamp
is related to a serious fault with thebraking system, the power steering,
the engine oil pressure or the enginecoolant temperature. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, as the en
gine may cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

A minor fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown on
the screen, such as, for example:
- engine oil level,
- screenwash level,
- remote control batter
y,
- state of the bulbs,
- saturation of the par ticle emission filter on Diesel
vehicles
(see "Checks - Particle Emissions
Filter").
For any other faults, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

A major fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown
on the screen and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the par t of the driver.

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Screenwash fluid level
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles andclothing that might become caught by thefan blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off theengine 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.
Diesel additive level

emission filter)
Used
products
To p p i ng up
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful tohealth 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 anauthorised waste disposal site.
Th
e additive reservoir lowlevel is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
multifunction screen.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this
warning lamp accompanied bya message in the multi-function screen.
On a new vehicle, the first particlefilter regeneration operations may beaccompanied by a "burning" smell,which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, par ticularly in summer and winter.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals for these components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time theengine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter val for
t
his component.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicin
g booklet and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of theprecautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
The
presence of this label, in par ticular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 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 thebattery.Dependin
g on the environment (e.g. dustyatmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary.y A clogged passenger compar tment filter may have an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generateundesirable odours.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
