Roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use transverse roof bars
that
  are   approved   for   your   vehicle.
Observe
  the   fitting   instructions   and   the  
c

onditions   of   use   given   in   the   information  
p

rovided   with   the   roof   bars.Version with
longitudinal bars
To install the roof bars, you must secure them   only   to   the   four   anchorage   points   in   the  
r

oof   frame.   These   points   are   masked   by   the  
v

ehicle's   doors   when   closed.
The
  roof   bar   fixings   include   a   stud   that   should  
b

e   introduced   into   the   aperture   at   each  
anc

horage
 p
oint.
Version without longitudinal
bars
You must fit the transverse bars to the longitudinal   bars   at   the   fixing   points   indicated  
b

y   engraved   markings   on   the   longitudinal   bars.
Recommendations
F Distribute  the   load   evenly,   avoiding  ov
erloading   on   one   side.
F

c

lose   as   possible   to   the   roof.
F
 
A
nchor   the   load   securely   and   fit   a   warning  
f

lag   if   part   of   it   overhangs   the   vehicle.
F
 
D
rive   gently,   as   the   vehicle   will   be   more  
l

iable   to   the   effects   of   side   winds   (vehicle  
s

tability   may   be   affected).
F
 
R
emove   the   roof   bars   as   soon   as   they   are  
n

o

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to   the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never  
e

xceed   it.
In
 
addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is   pressurised,
 w

ait
 
at
 
least   one   hour   after   switching   off   the
 e

ngine
 
before   carrying   out   any   work.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap  
b

y
 
two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.  
W

hen
 
the
  pressure   has   dropped,   remove   the  
c

ap
 
and
 
top-up   the   level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
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. When   the   engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

he   coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.To p p i n g - u p
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay b
y   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated   by   fixed   illumination   of   this  
w

arning   lamp,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible   signal   and   a   message   that  
t

he   particle   filter   additive   level   is  
t

oo low.
The
 
warning   lamp   comes   on   when   the   ignition  
i

s
 
switched   on,   or   every   time   the   stalk   is  
o

perated,
  until   the   reservoir   is   refilled.
Next
 
time
  you   stop,   refill   the   screenwash   /  
h

eadlamp
  wash   reservoir.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with h
eadlamp   washers,   when   the   fluid r

eservoir   low   level   is   reached   this
 w

arning   lamp   comes   on   in   the
 i

nstrument   panel,   accompanied   by   an
 a

udible   signal   and   a   message. Avoid
  prolonged   contact   of   used   oil   or  
f

luids   with   the   skin.
Most
  of   these   fluids   are   harmful   to  
h

ealth   or   indeed   very   corrosive.
Do
  not   discard   used   oil   or   fluids   into  
s

ewers   or   onto   the   ground.
Take
  used   oil   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However,
  check   that   the   terminals  
a

re   clean   and   correctly   tightened,  
p

articularly   in   summer   and   winter.Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  s
ervice   schedule   for   details   of   the  
r

eplacement   intervals   for   these  
c

omponents.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice   schedule   for   details   of  
t

he   replacement   interval   for   this  
c

omponent.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with   the   Stop   &   Start   system,   indicates   the u

se   of   a   specific   12   V   lead-acid   battery
 w

ith   special   technology   and   specification.
 T

he   involvement   of   a   CITROËN   dealer
 o

r   a   qualified   workshop   is   essential   when
 r

eplacing   or   disconnecting   the   battery.
Unless
  other wise   indicated,   check   these   components   in   accordance   with   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule   and   according   to   your   engine.
Other wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty a
tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle   (e.g. city d

riving),
 r
eplace them twice as often if necessar y .
A
  clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may   have
 a

n   adverse   effect   on   the   per formance   of   the   air
 c

onditioning   system   and   generate   undesirable
 o

dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter   is   indicated   by   the   fixed  
i

llumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   warning   message.
As
 
soon   as   the   traffic   conditions   permit,  
r

egenerate   the   filter   by   driving   at   a  
s

peed   of   at   least   40   mph   (60   km/h)   until  
t

he
 
warning   lamp   goes   off.
If
 
the   warning   lamp   stays   on,   this  
i

ndicates   a   low   additive   level.
For
  more   information   on   Checking
levels
 

and   the   Diesel   additive   level   in  
p

articular,   refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
  regeneration   operations   may   be  
a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,  
w

hich   is   per fectly   normal.
Following
  prolonged   operation   of   the  
v

ehicle   at   very   low   speed   or   at   idle,  
y

ou
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice   the   emission   of   water   vapour   at  
t

he
 
exhaust   on   acceleration.   This   does  
n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
 
the   environment.
When
 
carrying
 
out
 
work
 
on
 
the
 
battery,
 
refer
 
t

o the " 12 V batter y "
 
section
 
for
 
details
 
of
 
the
 
p

recautions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
before
 
disconnecting
 
t

he
 
battery
 
and
 
following
 
its
 
reconnection.

Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The
 
AdBlue
® additive freezes at t
emperatures   below   around   -11°C.
The
 
SCR
 
system   includes   a   heater  
f

or
 
the
 
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
 
driving   in   very   cold   conditions.
Topping-up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation i
ncluded
 
in
 
every
 
routine   service   on   your  
v

ehicle
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
Nevertheless,
 
given   the   capacity   of   the   tank,   it  
m

ay
 
be
 
necessary
  to   top-up   the   fluid   between  
s

ervices,
 
more
 
particularly   if   an   alert   (warning  
l

amps
 
and
 
a
 
message)   signals   the   requirement.
You
 
can
 
go
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
If
 
you
 
envisage
 
topping-up   yourself,   please  
r

ead
 
the
 
following
 
warnings   carefully.Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the I
SO 22241
 
standard.
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid is n
on-flammable,   colourless   and   odourless   (kept  
i

n
 
a
 
cool   area).
In
 
the
 
event   of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash  
t

he
 
affected   area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

vent
 
of
  contact   with   the   eyes,   wash   (irrigate)  
t

he
 
eyes   with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with  
a

n
 
eye
 
wash   solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
I

f
 
a
 
burning   sensation   or   irritation   persists,   get  
m

edical
  attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

ith
 
clean   water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain   conditions   (high   ambient  
t

emperature,   for   example),   the   risk   of   release   of  
a

mmonia   cannot   be   excluded:   do   not   inhale   the  
f

luid.
 
Ammonia   vapour   has   an   irritant   effect   on  
m

ucous
  membranes   (eyes,   nose   and   throat).The
  supply   in   a   non-drip   bottle   simplifies  
t

opping-up.   You   can   obtain   1.89   litre   (half   a   US  
g

allon)   bottles   from   a   CITROËN dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Never
  dilute   AdBlue
® with water.
N
ever
 
pour
 
AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Never
 
top-up
 
from
 
an   AdBlue
®
dispenser
 
reserved
 
for
 
heavy
 
goods  
v

ehicles.
Keep
 
AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   bottle.
Never
 
transfer   AdBlue
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
lose
  its   purity.
