SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals 
according to the use of the vehicle.More than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain 
before the next service is due. When 
the ignition is switched on and for a 
few seconds, the screen shows:
a few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed 
(depending on version), then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal 
operation showing the total and trip 
distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner flashes and the number of 
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
a few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed 
(depending on version), then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal 
operation and the spanner remains on. 
This indicates that a service should be 
carried out shortly
.
Service overdue
Operation
A few moments after the ignition 
has been switched on, the spanner 
indicating a service operation comes 
on; the display for the total distance 
recorder gives (in round figures) the 
distance remaining before the next 
service.
The points at which a service is due 
are calculated from the last indicator 
zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is 
determined by two parameters:
-
 
the distance travelled,
-
 
the time which has elapsed since 
the last service. The distance remaining before the 
next service may be weighted by 
the time factor
, depending on the 
type of driving. With the engine running the spanner 
remains on until the service has been 
carried out.
For BlueH
d i  d iesel versions, this 
alert is also accompanied by the fixed 
illumination of the Service warning 
lamp, on switching on the ignition. Each time the ignition is 
switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner 
flashes and the excess 
distance is displayed.
For BlueH
d i  d iesel versions, the 
spanner can also come on early, 
according the level of deterioration 
of the engine oil. Deterioration of the 
engine oil depends on the conditions of 
use of the vehicle.

Cooling system
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 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 fluid 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 filter, you 
are advised to drive at a speed higher 
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five 
minutes as soon as possible, when 
traffic conditions permit (until the 
message disappears and the service 
warning lamp goes off).
d
uring regeneration of the particle 
emission filter, 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, contact a CITR
o Ë n  dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the expansion 
bottle. 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.
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 fluid must not be topped 
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir: 
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp 
washers, the capacity of the reservoir 
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level 
(Diesel with particle 
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop without delay.
Waste 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 dedicated to this 
use at a CITR
o Ë n  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 filter 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type 
driving conditions: low speed, long 
traffic jams, ...).

DIESEL  PRIMING   PUMPFuel used for Diesel 
 
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with 
biofuels which conform to current and 
future European standards (
d iesel fuel 
which complies with standard EN 590 
mixed with a biofuel which complies 
with standard E
n  14214) available at 
the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty 
Acid Methyl Ester).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain 
Diesel engines. However, this use, 
even occasional, requires strict 
application of the special servicing 
conditions. Contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified 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). In a serious collision, a mechanism 
automatically prevents fuel from 
reaching the engine.
If you run out of fuel, it is necessary to 
prime the fuel circuit.
