The fuel level is tested every time the
ignition is turned on.
The gauge is positioned on:
-
F (Full):
the fuel tank is full.
-
E (Empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the low fuel warning lamp comes
on continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately:
-
10 litres for 60 and 90 litre tanks,
-
12 litres for 120 litre tanks.
Fuel tanks of dif
ferent capacities (60 and
120 litres) are available as an option.

the needle is positioned between
c
( c old) and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. If the needle enters the red zone or if the
warning lamp comes on:
-
stop immediately
, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for a
certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:
the cooling system is pressurised. In order
to avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top-up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Refer to the "Checks - Fuel" section. Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.

EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis)
is a diagnostics system which complies
with, among others, the standards on the
authorised emissions of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
tYrE undEr-InFLAt IO n d E t E ct IO n
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission
control system by the illumination
of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
To locate it, refer to the "Technical
data
- Identification markings" section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding, extends
braking distances and causes premature
tyre wear, particularly under arduous
conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long
journey).

To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-
never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

everse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAr EFFIcIEncY I nd I c AtO r
Depending on the engine or version, this
system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag. With the engine hot, the warning lamp
comes on for a few moments, you can start
the engine without waiting.
As soon as the engine is running, release
the key.
Starting and switching off
40The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - ST OP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.

This indicator lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby. Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.
Never leave your vehicle with out first

The STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
the system is initialising,
-
the driver's door is open,
-
the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
the air conditioning is running,
-
the heated rear screen is on,
-
the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-
reverse gear is engaged, for a parking
manoeuvre,
-
some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.

Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year at the beginning of
winter. Maintenance and repairs should only
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
Switching off the heating
In the case of deferred operation, the
heating stops at the end of the programmed
period.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating switches off when the
battery voltage is low, so as to allow engine
starting.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion. The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120
°C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off
the combustion in the event of engine
overheating due to a lack of coolant. Check
the level and if necessary top-up following
the advice given in the "Checks - Levels"
section. Then press the programme
selection button before switching the heating
on again.
Setting the operating
period
The period of operation can be set to
between 10 and 60 minutes.
Press and hold the "set" button.
At the same time press the "<"
or ">" button.
The time and the time setting
indicator come on.
Press and hold the "set" button again.
At the same time press the "<" or ">" button
again.
The programmed operating period is
displayed and the heating or ventilation
cycle indicator flashes.
Adjust the period by pressing the "<" or ">"
button.
The setting is confirmed by the period
disappearing from the screen or by pressing
the "set" button again In the case of immediate
operation, press this button again
to switch off manually.
The heating cycle indicator and
the screen go off.
