  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 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 filter, air filter, passenger 
compartment filter...) and observe the 
schedule of operations recommended in the 
maintenance and warranty guide.       When refuelling, do not continue after the 
third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 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 to a 
consistent  average.

 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD) 
 The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force 
distribution) systems improve the stability 
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on 
braking, in particular on poor or slippery 
surfaces. 
 The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, 
the EBFD provides control of the braking 
pressure wheel by wheel. 
  Good  practice 
 The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk 
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking 
distance. 
 On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...) 
the ABS may increase the braking distance. 
When braking in an emergency, do not 
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly, 
without releasing the pressure, even on a 
slippery surface, you will then be able to 
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid 
an obstacle. 
 Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by 
slight vibration of the brake pedal. 
 When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are recommended by 
CITROËN.  If this warning lamp comes on, 
together with the brake and STOP 
warning lamps, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution which 
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle 
on braking. 
  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.   
 EMERGENCY  BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA) 
 In an emergency, this system enables the 
optimum braking pressure to be reached more 
quickly, press the pedal fi rmly without releasing it. 
 It is triggered by the speed at which the brake 
pedal is activated. 
 This alters the resistance of the brake pedal 
under your foot. 
 If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message in the screen, it 
indicates a malfunction of the ABS 
which could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking.   In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualified workshop.  
 To prolong the operation of the emergency 
braking assistance system: keep your foot 
on the brake pedal.

 LEVELS 
 To maintain the reliability of engines and 
emission control systems, the use of 
additives in engine oil is prohibited.     Changing the brake fluid 
 The brake fluid must be changed at 
the intervals stated, according to the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
 Use fluids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards. 
 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.  
 These regular maintenance operations 
will keep your vehicle in good running 
order. Consult a CITROËN dealer or the 
servicing and warranty booklet enclosed in 
the handbook pack. 
  If you have to remove / refit the engine 
style cover, handle it with care to avoid 
damaging the fixing clips. 
  Oil  level 
 Check the level regularly and top up 
between changes. 
 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.   Oil  change 
 It is imperative that this is carried out at the 
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of 
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements 
in accordance with the manufacturer's 
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from a 
CITROËN dealer. 
 Remove the dipstick before filling. 
 For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel 
supplied when filling via the sump opening. 
 Check the level after filling (never exceed 
the max mark). 
 Screw the cap back onto the sump before 
closing the bonnet. 
  Viscosity  selection 
 In all cases, the oil selected must meet the 
manufacturer's  requirements.   
  Warning  lamps 
 Checking by means of the warning 
lamps in the instrument panel 
is described in chapter 2, refer to the 
"Instruments and controls" section.

 CHECKS 
  Battery 
 At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.  
  Brake  pads 
 Brake pad wear depends on the style of 
driving, in particular for vehicles which are 
used in town, over short distances. It may 
be necessary to check the thickness of the 
pads, even between services. 
 Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop 
in the brake fluid level indicates that the 
brake pads are worn.  
  Brake disc / drum wear 
 For any information on checking the brake 
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.  
  Parking  brake 
 Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
 Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
  Oil  filter 
 Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the servicing schedule.  
  Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter 
 The carbon filter permits continuous and 
effective filtering of dust. 
 If the passenger compartment filter becomes 
clogged, this may reduce the performance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
unpleasant odours. 
 We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment filter. By means of 
its second special active filter, it contributes 
to the purification of the air breathed by 
the occupants and the cleanness of the 
passenger compartment (reduction of 
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits). 
 Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet 
to find out the replacement interval for these 
components. 
 Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary. 
  Particle emission filter (Diesel) 
 This filter actively contributes 
to the preservation of air quality 
by trapping unburnt polluting 
particles. It is controlled 
completely and automatically by the engine 
management system. 
 This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk 
of blockage of the filter. 
 This alert signals the start of saturation of 
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally 
prolonged driving in urban conditions: 
reduced speed, traffic jams…). 
 If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
 On acceleration after the vehicle has been 
running for a prolonged period at very low 
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional 
circumstances, notice the emission of water 
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour 
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle 
handling or the environment. 
 To regenerate the filter, it is recommended 
that as soon as driving conditions permit, 
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph 
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the 
warning lamp goes off and/or the message 
disappears). 
 Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.

   Checks   
JUMPY-ATLANTE-VP_EN_CHAP06_VERIFICATIONS_ED01-2014
  Manual  gearbox 
 Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  Good  practice 
 To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the maintenance and warranty 
guide 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. 
 After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes.  
   1.6 litre HDi
  
  2 litre HDi    
  Bleeding the water contained in the Diesel filter 
 If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed 
regularly each time the engine oil 
is changed. 
 To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed 
screw located on the end of the transparent 
pipe. 
 Operate until all of the water in the 
transparent pipe has been drained out then 
tighten the bleed screw. 
 HDi engines use advanced technology. 
 Contact a CITROËN or a qualified workshop 
for all work on the system.    During this regeneration, you may notice 
that the idling speed is higher than normal 
and that the cooling fan is running. As 
operation of the exhaust emissions controls 
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to 
reach very high levels, it is recommended 
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily 
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves, 
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).
