2015 Citroen NEMO RHD oil temperature

26WARNING LAMPS
Every time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a self-checking test.
They go off almost immediately. When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning sign if it remains on continuously or
flashes. This initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. "Do not ignore these warnings."

Instruments and controls

148
Engine coolant level
only use the fluid 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 cooling 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.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the header tank. If more than
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap with
integral gauge and check the level which
must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Screenwash fluid level
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
topping up or replacement of this fluid
should never be with plain water; we
recommend the use of products available
from CITR
o Ë n dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
3
litres.
Slacken the cap by two turns 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 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.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground, but
into the containers provided for this purpose
at CITR
o Ë n dealers (France) or at an
authorised waste disposal site.

Particle filter (1.3 HDi 75)
an addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter 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 filter, fitted 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). 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.
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles,
...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire. 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.

CHECKS
Checks

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with bio-fuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
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).
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
The only petrol additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 standard.
Petrol that meets the EN228 standard, mixed with a bio-fuel meeting the EN15376 standard.
Travelling abroad Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of your vehicle. In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific sales name…) to ensure correct operation of the
engine. For any additional information, contact your dealer.
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
For more information, contact a dealer of the brand or a qualified workshop.
Compatibility of fuels
Diesel fuel at low temperature
In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in the summer diesel fuels may result in abnormal operation of the fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of winter diesel fuels is recommended, keeping
the tank topped up to more than 50% of its capacity. If in spite of this you experience difficulties starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C (+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a heated workshop for a while.
