Changing a fuse
The 2 fuseboxes are located below the dashboard and under the bonnet.
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse, you must:
- ascertain the cause of the fault and have it
remedied,
- switch off all electrical consumers,
- park the vehicle and switch off the ignition,
- identify the failed fuse using the allocation
tables and diagrams presented on the
following pages. Good
Failed
Tw e e z e r
If the fault recurs soon after replacing the
fuse, have the electrical system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. When replacing a fuse, it is essential to:
- use the special tweezer, located on the
cover close to the fusebox, to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament,
- always replace a failed fuse with one of
equivalent rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause a malfunction
(risk of fire). The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below may
cause a serious malfunction on your
vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.CITR
oËn will not accept any
responsibility for the costs incurred
in repairing your vehicle or for the
malfunctions resulting from the
installation of auxiliary accessories which
were not supplied or recommended by
CITR oËn and which were not installed
in accordance with its instructions, in
particular where the current consumption
of all the the additional equipment
connected exceeds 10 milliamps.Installation of electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a CITR oËn dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Following reconnection of
the battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation
of the electronic systems. However, if
slight malfunctions remain following this
operation, contact a CITRoËn dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the glass panoramic roof blind,
- the radio station presets, the date
and time in the audio system.
Starting using another
battery
If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables.
Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery. F
Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B .
F Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B .
F Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle.
F Start the engine on the other vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
F Operate the starter, let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch the ignition off and wait a few
moments before trying again.
F Wait until the engine returns to idle and
disconnect the jump lead cables in reverse
o r d e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to the battery on your
vehicle.
Do not try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the battery (+)
terminal when the engine is running.

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
the cooling fan could start at any time
(even with the ignition off).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
F Locate the dipstick in the engine
compartment of your vehicle.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section.
F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and
remove it completely.
F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
A = MaX
B = MI n

Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
F Locate the oil filler cap in the engine
compartment of your vehicle.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section.
F Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler
aperture.
F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
F Wait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.
F Add more oil if necessary.
F After checking the level, carefully refit the
oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.

Range indicators
once the a db lue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low ad blue
® level, the shortest range figure is
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically
in the instrument panel.
Pressing this button displays the driving range
temporarily.
Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
specified.
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated

message (e.g.: "Top up emissions additive:
Starting prevented in 900 miles") indicating
the remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
200 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has
been topped-up.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the AdBlue

control system
The UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system. During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
A system that prevents engine starting
is activated automatically from
650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation
of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible. In the event of the detection
of a fault
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed

permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic
warning lamps come on and the UREA
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g.: "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
150 miles") indicating the remaining range
express in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
