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

If
you fill past this mark,

Never allow the level to
fall
below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission

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 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.
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 filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
On 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 ef
fect on vehicle
handling
or the environment.
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.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
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.
W
e 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).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet
for
the

interval
for
these
components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...)
and the use of the
vehicle
(urban driving...), change them
twice

Good practice
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
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.
If this warning lamp comes
on,
bleed
the
filter.
Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine
oil
is
changed.
HDi engines use advanced
technology.
All
work
requires
special training, so should be
entrusted
to
a
CITROËN
dealer.
Depending
on
country
of
sale.
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.
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 of
fers
specific products.

SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
The
snow chains must be fitted
only
to the driving wheels.
They
must

force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running
speed authorised.Advice on installation

If
you have to fit the chains during
a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface
on the side of the road.
F
Apply
the parking brake and
position
