LEVELS
Oil change
This must be carried out at
the intervals specified in the
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask
for advice from a CITROËN dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never
exceed the max mark).
Refit the oil filler cap before closing the
bonnet.
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 meet the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Warning lamps
If you have to remove /
refit the engine style cover, handle
it with care to avoid damaging the
fixing clips.
Oil level
It is recommended that the oil level be
checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)
and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the requirements specified in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle
in good working order. Ask for
advice from a CITROËN dealer or refer
to the maintenance and warranty guide
in the handbook pack.
Checks using the warning lamps in
the instrument panel is described
in chapter 3, "Instruments and
controls" section.
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITROËN dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access flap allows replacement of
the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By
means of its second special active
filter, it contributes to the purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
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.
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet for the replacement interval for
these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.

Good practice
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.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filterManual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
o

n acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
special training, which is assured
by a CITROËN dealer.
Depending on country of sale. In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment is strictly prohibited.
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.

attempts to open the sliding side
door.
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
lamp comes on.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems.Fuel used for petrol
engines
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.

which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies
with standard EN 14214) available at
the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines. However, this use,
even occasional, requires strict
application of the special servicing
conditions. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the
engine and fuel system). If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to prime the fuel circuit.

BLUEHDI
A n D A D B LUE
® ADDITIVE
The technology
AdBlue® is the brand name of the
solution needed for operation of the
SCR system. BlueHDI vehicles have a specific
AdBlue
® additive tank with a capacity
of 17 litres.
It has an exterior filler with a blue filler
cap, located to the left of the Diesel
fuel filler cap.
Filling of the AdBlue
® tank can be
done using 5 or 10 litre containers,
1.89 litre bottles, or when at a fuel
filling station equipped with a special
AdBlue
® delivery pump for light
vehicles.
The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce
by up to 90% the emissions of NOx
(nitrous oxides) in the air
, using a
system that converts NOx into water
vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic converter: SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro"
emissions standard adopted by the
European Union aimed at limiting the
emissions of pollutants from internal
combustion engines.
The BlueHDi generation of engines
allow the "Euro 6" European standard
to be met, with an extra tank to hold
the AdBlue
® fluid for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
This operation can also be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Please note that the high delivery
pumps at some filling stations,
intended only for lorries and coaches,
are not suitable for cars or light
commercial vehicles.
Never use these pumps.

Good practice
While the quantity of AdBlue® in
the additive tank is sufficient, no
information is displayed.
On the other hand, once the additive
level drops to the quantity needed
for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
driving, you are warned by dif
ferent
temporary signals (warning lamp,
message, audible signal).
As more miles are covered, these
signals intensify and the message
becomes permanent.
When the AdBlue
® tank is empty,
restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the AdBlue
® tank,
but do this as soon as possible.
Filling the additive tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre
containers and 1.89 litre (1/2 US gallon)
bottles are available from CITROËN
dealers, until they are equipped with
AdBlue
® delivery pumps.
If you want to fill the AdBlue® tank
yourself, ensure that you have a
suitable filler pipe, which may or may
not be supplied with the additive
container.
