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
refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations on
maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- 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 serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by
the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

READY TO GO



Gearbox and steering wheel



Deactivation


To give precedence to the control
of the temperature in the passenger
compartment, the Stop & Start
system should be deactivated to
allow continuous operation of the air
conditioning.
The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
At any time, press the "S - OFF"
switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.

Operating fault
Maintenance


In the event of a fault with
the system, the Stop & Start
system is deactivated and the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral. Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers.


Reactivation

Press the "S - OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel screen.

Maintenance with TOTAL


40 YEARS
OF PASSION
The strength of the partnership between
TOTAL and CITROËN is demonstrated in
particular through motor sport: from the
1969 Morocco Rally to the superb double
victory for TEAM CITROËN TOTAL and
Sébastien LOEB and Daniel ELENA in
the 2009 World Rally Championship.
The impressive list of awards for the two
marques has been built up through epic
battles, fought in extreme conditions. These
trials permit arduous testing of the TOTAL
lubricants, assuring the performance of
CITROËN vehicles.

Levels

These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good working
order. Ask for advice from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop or refer to the
servicing booklet provided in the handbook
pack.
LEVELS


Oil level

Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.

Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:

A
= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

B
= minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To preserve the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change


Brake fluid level

The brake fluid must be changed at
the specified interval, as given in the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which meets the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the reservoir.
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.


Warning lamps

Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in chapter 1, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section. This must be carried out at the specified
interval and the viscosity grade of the oil
selected must fulfil the requirements of the
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Refit the filler cap before closing the bonnet.

Checks








Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for the details of the level checking
interval for this component.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.






Particle filter system (1.3 HDi 75)

An addition to the catalytic converter, this
fi lter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining of
the unburnt pollutant particles. Black exhaust
fumes are thus no longer emitted.
This fi lter, fi tted to the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
control unit manages the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
the regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions of the
vehicle. During this phase, you may notice
some unusual phenomena - increased idling
speed, cooling fan running, increase in smoke
and higher exhaust gas temperature - which
does not affect the operation of the vehicle or
the environment.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence to the
running of the vehicle or to the environment.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the
particle filter is starting to fill up (in
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally
long duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a speed of at least
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the
message disappears).
if possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil.
It is not recommended to end regeneration
of the filter with the vehicle stationary.

Operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust/particle filter system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.








Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for details of
the checking interval for this component.
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle fi lter, it is
recommended that you do not park the vehicle
over infl ammable materials (grass, dry leaves,
pine needles, ...) so as to avoid any risk of fi re.
