Advice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear
a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not allow anything to come between
the occupants and the airbags
(a
child, pet, object...), do not attach or
fix
anything near to the airbags or their
trajectories
when inflating as this could
cause
injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
Never
modify the original definition of
your vehicle, particularly in the area
directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been
stolen or broken into, have the
airbag
systems checked.
All
work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned
are observed, a risk of
injury
or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed
cannot be ruled out.
The
bag inflates
almost instantly (within a
few
milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via
openings provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by
its spokes or resting your hands on
the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on
the dashboard.
Do
not smoke as deployment of the
airbags
can cause burns or the risk of
injury
from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel
or hit it violently.
Do
not fit or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause
injuries with deployment of the
airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats, compatible with the deployment
the
lateral airbags. For information
on the range of seat covers suitable
for your vehicle, you can contact a
CITROËN dealer
.
For more information on accessories,
refer to "Other accessories" in
section 6.
Do
not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs
(clothing...).
This
could cause
injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral
airbag
is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This
equipment
only
operates
once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag
will
not
operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of
smoke
and
a
noise,
due
to
the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated
in
the
system.
This
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
sensitive individuals may experience
some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed
rearward
facing.

After use
For
journeys
made
without
a
trailer
or
load carrier, the swan neck must
be
removed and the blanking plug
inserted
in the carrier.
This
measure
applies
particularly if the swan neck
could hinder visibility of the number
plate
or lighting.Removal
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the
swan neck and its carrier remain clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high
pressure
jet wash, the swan neck must
be
removed and the blanking plug
inserted
in the carrier.

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,
...).

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.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open
the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert
the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove
the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap. When
filling with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening
of the left-hand side door.
When
the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that
no one tries to slide this door.
Once
the flap has been closed, the
sliding
side door may jam, push the
door
to close it then open it.
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes
on. A
label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
Y
ou 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 inrush of air.
This
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to
the
sealing of the fuel system.
When
filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
This
could
cause malfunctions.
The
capacity
of
the
fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres
according
to
version).
-
After
filling
the
fuel tank, lock the
cap
and
close
the flap.
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.

BLUEHDI AND ADBLUE®
SCR technology
AdBlue® is the brand name of the
solution needed for operation of the
SCR
system.
The aim of BlueHDi is to reduce the
emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in
the air by up to 90%, 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 6"
emissions standard adopted by the
European Union aimed at limiting the
emissions of pollutants from internal
combustion
engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi
engines
involves the injection of
AdBlue® into the exhaust 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
fillin
g
station
equipped with a special
AdBlue® delivery pump for light
vehicles.
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
fluid
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
® additive,
but
do
this
as
soon
as
possible.
Filling the AdBlue® 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
.
