Cooling system
Only use the fl uid 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 fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer 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. In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed 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.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at CITROËN dealer (France) or an
authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).

FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be fi lled with the
engine off .
- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.
- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
When fi lling with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening of the left-hand side door.
When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, ensure
that no one tries to slide this door.
Once the fl ap has been closed, the
sliding side door may jam, push the
door to close it then open it.
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on.
You then have
approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems. A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fi ll with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel fi ller cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When fi lling 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 60 litres.
- After fi lling the fuel tank, lock the cap and close the fl ap.
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol 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).

FUEL CUT-OFF
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine. The fl ashing 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.
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to prime the fuel circuit:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of Diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 6.
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
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 qualifi ed
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).

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 fl ashes
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 fi ve and thirty minutes.
A fl at battery will prevent the engine
from starting.
