Checking levels
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).
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.
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). 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.
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.checking using the

If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .

If t

he level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Power steering fluid
level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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.

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.

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.

The electronic power super visor (4)

manages the operation of the two power units,
HDi Diesel and electric, giving priority to low
fuel consumption.
The alternator-star ter motor (5)
assures
the Stop & Start
function, which allows the
HDi Diesel engine to be put into standby when
the vehicle is at a standstill (traffic lights, a
stop, or in a traffic jam...) or during phases of
running in 100% electric mode.
The stopping and restarting of the HDi Diesel
engine is done automatically and instantly
without any action on the part of the driver.
This alternator-starter motor also provides
additional charging of the high-voltage battery
by the HDi Diesel engine, if this not sufficiently
charged, or in 4WD
mode for example.
The 12 V batter y
, located under the bonnet,
powers the vehicle's conventional electrical
system. It is used for starting the HDi Diesel
engine and the operation of the vehicle's
equipment, such as the lighting, wipers, audio
system...
This 12 V battery is recharged automatically by
the high voltage network.

9Hybrid4 system

When the Hybrid4 system is
started, this indicator lamp
comes on to signal that the
vehicle is ready to move off.

Illumination of this indicator lamp is more or
less instant but may take a few seconds in
some cases (pre-heating the HDi Diesel engine
in cold weather or in energy economy mode...).






READY lamp


Never leave the Hybrid4 system on
when leaving the vehicle, or opening
the bonnet, refuelling...
Before leaving the vehicle, ensure that
the READY
lamp is off.
This allows the high voltage battery to be
recharged using "free" energy
which can then
be reused
for future energy requirements.


CHARGE zone
POWER zone

Indicates an increased cumulative power
demand
from your vehicle, taking account
of the combined power available from the
HDi Diesel engine and the electric motor.















Power indicator

The indicator dial displays information on the total power used in real time, combining electric and
Diesel.
It comprises three operating zones.
Indicates that the vehicle
is optimising its energy
consumption
, electric, Diesel
or a combination of both.

ECO zone

This zone corresponds to phases of electric
running as well as to phases of optimum use
of the HDi Diesel engine, which are easily
accessible with a suitable driving style (smooth
"eco-citizen" driving).
Indicates that the vehicle is in
an electrical energy recovery

phase: on deceleration, braking
(partially) or particularly with
your foot off the accelerator.

Switching off the Hybrid4 system




)
Immobilise the vehicle.

)
Place the gear selector in position N
.

)
Make a short press (about one second) on

lamp is off
before leaving the vehicle.
Never leave the electronic key in the
vehicle in your absence.





For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on
your person.
















Switching the ignition on


With the electronic key in the reader or the
Keyless Entry and Starting key inside the
vehicle, pressing the " START/STOP
" button,
with no action on the brake pedal
, allows the
ignition to be switched on.



)
Press the " START/STOP
"
button, the instrument panel
comes on but the Hybrid4 system
does not start up.

With the ignition on, the system goes
into energy economy mode when
necessary to maintain the state of
charge of the battery.

)
Press this button again to switch off the
ignition and so allow the vehicle to be
locked.
