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, ...).

CHANGING A FUSE
The fuseboxes are located:
- 
in the lower dashboard on the 
  
left-hand side (behind the cover),
-
 
under the bonnet (near the battery).
If fitted on your vehicle, an additional 
fusebox is used for towing, the 
towbar and the connections for 
the coachbuilder and platform cab 
modifications. It is located on the right 
behind the load retaining partition.
The indications communicated 
are only those fuses which can be 
changed by the user using the tweezer
, 
located behind the dashboard storage 
compartment on the right-hand side. 
For any other work, visit a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Removing and fitting a fuse
Always replace a failed fuse with a 
fuse of the same rating.
CITR

for the cost incurred in repairing 
your vehicle or for rectifying the 
malfunctions resulting from the 
installation of accessories not 
supplied and not recommended by the 
CITROËN network and not installed 
in accordance with its instructions, 
in particular when the combined 
consumption of all of the additional 
equipment connected exceeds  
10 milliamperes.
Motor trade technicians: for 
complete information on the fuses 
and relays, refer to the "Repair 
manual" diagram via the dealer
