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).

Never charge a battery without fi rst
disconnecting the terminals.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If problems
remain after doing this, please contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
After changing bulbs, wait
approximately 3 minutes before
reconnecting the battery.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than one
month.
To charge the battery using a
battery charger
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect them
and clean them.
To start the vehicle from
another battery
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the
two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on
the broken down vehicle as far as
possible from the battery,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
The presence of this label
indicates the use of a 12 V
lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation, for which
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or qualifi ed workshop is required when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this
recommendation may cause premature
wear of the battery.
After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
several hours depending on the
climatic conditions and the state of
charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).
The Stop & Start battery does not have
to be disconnected for charging.

Snow chains
150
SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking. The snow chains must be fi tted
only to the driving wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-
saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running speed authorised. Advice on installation
If you have to fi t the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a fl at
surface on the side of the road.
Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to
prevent movement of your vehicle.
Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly
tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have
been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. It is recommended
that before you leave, you practise
fi tting the snow chains on a level and
dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fi xings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be
fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to your
vehicle:
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

CHANGING A BULB
Type A
All glass bulb: pull gently
as it is fi tted by pressure.
High pressure washing
Open the bonnet. To access the bulbs,
reach behind the headlamp unit.
Carry out the operations in reverse
order to refi t each bulb and check that
the bonnet is closed securely. Type C
Halogen bulb: release the
retaining spring from its
housing. Type B
Bayonet bulb: press

anticlockwise.
Halogen bulbs must be changed
with the headlamp off. Wait a few
minutes (risk of serious burns).
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fi ngers, use lint-free cloths.
It is normal for condensation to form
inside the headlamps. Regular use of
the vehicle eliminates this misting. The bulbs must be changed with
the ignition off or with the battery
disconnected. Wait approximately
3 minutes after changing the bulb
before reconnecting the battery.
Check that the lamps operate correctly
after each operation.
When using this type of washing
on stubborn dirt, do not persist on
the headlamps, the lamps and their
edges to avoid damaging their coating

General points
For more information, refer to your
registration certifi cate.
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
legislation are complied with. To fi nd
out your vehicle's towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
CITROËN dealer. With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW is not exceeded. Warning: towing
with a lightly loaded towing vehicle
may have an adverse effect on its road
holding.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country). High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance
of the vehicle in order to protect the
engine; when the ambient temperature
is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed
weight.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
fi lled to 90%.
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load
mentioned must be reduced by 10 %
for each additional 1000 metres.
