Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid 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 fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 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. When this occurs with the engine running it
is due to the start of saturation of the particle
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged
urban type driving conditions: low speed,
long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
permit (until the message disappears and
the service warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning lamp remains on, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified 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.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
To ensure optimum cleaning and prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service warning
light, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.

Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL
Filling with fuel
The fuel tank must be fi lled with the engine off
.
Low fuel level
When this warning lamp fi rst comes
on and when the needle is at the
start of the red zone, the minimum
fuel tank level has been reached.
At this moment, you have approximately
8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running out of fuel. When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.
It is normal to hear the noise of an inrush
of air when the cap is opened as there is a
vacuum caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
More than 8 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this may damage the
emission control and injection systems.

FUEL CUT-OFF
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming
pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts. In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
The flashing 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.
Quality of the fuel used for petrol
engines
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel
engines
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN 228
and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (E100 type).
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
qualified 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
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 flashes 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
five and thirty minutes.
A flat battery will prevent the engine from
starting.
