Checking levelsCheck all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Never do anything in the compartments
when the "Ready" lamp is on or when
your vehicle is being charged.
Take care when carrying out checks
in the front and rear compartments as
some parts of the compartments can
be very hot (risk of burns): wait at least
one hour after stopping the motor or the
end of the charging procedure before
carrying out any work.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be
between the "MIN" and "MA X"
marks. If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

The coolant level should be between
the MIN "L" and MA X "F" marks.
Coolant levelAvoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
and/or the end of the charging cycle before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
12 V battery electrolyte
level
Remove the battery protective cover to check
this level.
For more information on the 12 V battery, refer
to the corresponding section.
The level of this fluid should be between the
MIN "LOWER LEVEL" and MA X "UPPER
LEVEL" marks.
If necessary, top up using distilled water by
removing the caps of the different battery
compartments.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
per month.

-

u
nder the body.
For washing the bodywork, do not use a
pressure greater than 80 bars. Check - before washing the vehicle -
that the charging flaps and the charging
socket covers (normal and fast charge)
are properly closed. Do not wash the vehicle while the
battery is being recharged.

12 V battery
All of the electrical components of your vehicle
(other than the electric motor, the heating and
the air conditioning) are powered by this 12 V
ancillaries battery.
It is located in the front compartment and is
recharged by the main battery, during phases
of operation ("Ready" lamp on in the instrument
panel) and charging.If the 12 V battery is discharged, it will
not be possible to start the motor and
the main battery cannot be charged. F

Disconnecting the battery is not
recommended.
However, if the vehicle is not to be used
for a prolonged period of more than a
month, it may be necessary, in winter,
to disconnect and store the battery to
avoid the electrolyte freezing.
After prolonged disconnection of the
battery, you must contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the electronic control unit reinitialised.

As a safety measure, the driver must only carry out operations
which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent discharging of
the battery, the system switches off after activation of energy
economy mode.
After a battery disconnection, a code has to be entered for
operation of the audio system.
A maximum of five attempts are possible. For the last two

attempts,
a 15 minutes wait is imposed between each attempt.
Refer to the end of this document to find the label indicating this

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
An iPod is not recognised
when connecting to the
USB port. The iPod is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB
connection.
The hard disk or device
is not recognised when
connecting to the USB
port. Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is
provided by the audio system.
Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V
socket or an external power supply.
Caution
: ensure that the device does not transmit
a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of
the system).
When streaming, the sound
cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profile.
Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to
improve streaming.
In "Random all" play, not all
of the tracks are played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to
999 tracks.
With the engine off, the
audio system switches off
after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy
mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature
is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of
the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
