12 V accessory socket(s)
(depending on version)USB port
F To connect a 12 V accessory (maximum
power: 120 Watts), lift the cover and
connect a suitable adaptor. It allows the connection of a portable device,
such as a digital audio player of the iPod
® type
or a USB memory stick.
It reads the audio files which are transmitted to
your audio system and played via the vehicle's
speakers.
You can manage these files using the steering
mounted controls or the audio system.
When a USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the current consumption of the
portable device exceeds the power
rating of the port.
For more information on using this
equipment, refer to the Audio and
telematics section.
Observe the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging your accessory. The connection of an electrical device
not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor telephone
reception or inter ference with displays
in the screens.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its
speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or
stationary (depending on engine); the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop & Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other...). The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly
and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox
and the vehicle is stationary, the "ECO"
indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes
into standby automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear selector in
position N .
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and
the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8
km/h),
the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N . (minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the button.

Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil,

engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping-up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
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.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine 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. The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Check the coolant level regularly, according
to the use made of your vehicle (every
3 000
miles or 5 000 kms / 3 months); if
necessary, top-up using coolant recommended
by the manufacturer.
Topping-up the coolant between services is
normal.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.
