Advice on care and maintenance
customising stickers
These customising parts are self-adhesive
stickers, treated to give good resistance to
ageing and tearing.
They are intended for customising the body.
Available also as accessories, we recommend
that you have them fitted by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When washing your vehicle, keep the end of
a high-pressure lance at least 30 centimetres
from the stickers.We strongly advise against cleaning
your vehicle in a high pressure car
wash.
Headlamps and lamps
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses,
finished with a protective lacquer.
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth,
nor with detergent or solvent products.
Use a sponge and soapy water.
The use of a high pressure jet wash for
cleaning the headlamps, lamps and their
surrounds may damage the lacquer and seals.
Observe the recommendations on pressure
and distance for jet washing.
First clean persistent stains with a sponge and
warm soapy water.
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate
regular care and cleaning is essential for its
durability.

coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
Specification of the fluid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol
or methanol base fluid is recommended.
Screenwash / headlamp
