Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in
the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack, trailer...).
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer
tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the
label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
before a long journey
,
-

at each change of season,
-


after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or


caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air
filter, cabin filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR has a fault your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to bring the levels of nitrous oxide
emissions back into line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle
to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1
800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health or
indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
LEVELS
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Ask for advice at a CITROËN dealer
or consult the maintenance and warranty
guide contained in the handbook pack.
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIn and
MA
x marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
styling cover, handle it with care to
avoid damaging the fixing clips.

Levels and checks

131
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.These operations will keep your vehicle
in good running order. Ask for advice
from a CITROËN dealer or refer to the
maintenance and warranty guide included in
the handbook pack.
cHEcKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Bleeding water from the diesel
filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, or bleed regularly
each time the engine oil is
changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are given in
the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the
bonnet" section.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work requires a special qualification
which is guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
Oil filter
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Levels and checks

133
Operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust / particle filter system.
Have the whole system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
Saturation /
r
egeneration
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles,

...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire.
Particle filter system (diesel)
An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena -
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature
- which does not affect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment. After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally
notice water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle or
to the environment. To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a speed of at least

40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the
message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It
is not recommended to end regeneration of
the filter with the vehicle stationary.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams etc.)
