to an automatic change to START
mode.
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road,
it is strongly recommended that you
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly on flooded roads,
refer to the corresponding section. The Stop & Start system requires a
battery of advanced technology and
special characteristics.
All work on this type of battery must
only be done by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery
, refer to the corresponding

the sensors are not covered by road
dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation of the ASR
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and
regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
F
I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
function " tab, then " Traction control".
Deactivation is confirmed by a message.
The ASR system will no longer act on the
operation of the engine or on the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.Operating fault Reactivation of the ASR
The system is reactivated automatically every
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
F

I
n the Driving menu, select the " Driving
function " tab, then " Traction control".
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicates a fault with
these systems.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer even greater
safety during normal driving, but they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at excessive speed.
When traction deteriorates (rain, snow,
ice), the risks of loss of grip increase.
Therefore, for your safety, it is essential
that these systems are left active in all
conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The operation of these systems
is assured provided that the
manufacturer's recommendations
concerning the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the CITROËN
network
fitting and repair procedures are
complied with.
To ensure the effectiveness of these
systems in winter conditions, it is
essential that the vehicle is fitted with
four snow tyres which will enable the
vehicle to retain neutral handling.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Safety

260
The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions
in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded fuel.The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before star ting the
engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into
the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle. Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device and pour
s l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we
recommend that you check with the
CITROËN dealer network, whether your
vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
the country in which you want to travel.
* Depending on the country of sale.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level,
and top-up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. 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.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top-up the engine oil.
