The alert operates both for versions with
an individual passenger front seat and for
versions with a 2-seat front bench seat.
The driver's seat is fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioner and a force limiter.
On versions with a passenger's front airbag,
the passenger's seat is also fitted with a
pyrotechnic pretensioner and a force limiter.
The front bench seat is fitted with two seat
belts.
Height adjustment

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.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. These operations will keep your vehicle
in good running order. Ask for advice
from a CITROËN dealer or refer to the
manufacturer's service schedule included in
the handbook pack.
cHEcKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are given in
the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the
bonnet" section.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's service schedule.
Levels and checks

145
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
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. 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 offers specific products.
diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the
bonnet, close to the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be bled to remove water.
Y

ou can also bleed the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil
is changed.

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with

the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key. When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on.
You then have around 10 to
12 litres in the reserve, depending on the
capacity of the tank and the engine.
Refuel without delay to avoid running out of
fuel.
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.

Remove the black cap and hook it onto

the clip located on the inside of the flap. A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
-

After filling the fuel tank, lock the black

cap and close the flap.

Once the 350 miles (600 km) threshold
is reached, this warning lamp flashes,
accompanied by a message on the
remaining driving range.
The alert is repeated with an update of the
remaining driving range in steps of 30 miles
(50 km) travelled.
Every time the ignition is switched on, the alert is
given together with an audible signal.0 miles operating range reached: the system
installed in the vehicle to meet the emissions
standard will prevent engine starting.
Your vehicle's exhaust emissions no longer
meet the "Euro 6" standard and the engine will
not start.
Unless the AdBlue
® is topped-up in the
special additive tank, the vehicle will remain
immobilised.
To be able to restart the vehicle, you must:
-

top-up the
AdBlue® with at least
3.8 litres.

Never dilute the fluid with water.
Never pour the fluid into the Diesel fuel tank.
recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
The SCR system includes an AdBlue®
tank heater that ensures operation of
the vehicle in normal conditions.
In exceptional situations, such as when the
vehicle is kept at temperatures below -15°C
(5°F) for a long period, there may be an
emission fault alert related to freezing of the
AdBlue
® additive.
Park the vehicle in an area at a more
moderate temperature for a few hours until
the AdBlue
® becomes a fluid again.
The emissions warning lamp does not go off
immediately, but does so after a few miles
of driving.
Never dispose of AdBlue® fluid bottles
in the household waste.
Place them in a special container provided
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C
(12.2° F) and deteriorates above 25°C
(77°F).
It is recommended that containers and
bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
Additive that has been frozen can be used
once it has thawed out in ambient air.

The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
After refitting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).
It is advisable to disconnect the
negative (-) terminal of the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month.
The description of the battery charging
procedure is given as an indication only.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:
-

the display parameters (date,


time, language, distance unit and
temperature

unit),
-

the radio stations,
-


the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be


reprogrammed, consult a CITROËN.
If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph or
an alarm, disconnection of the negative (-)
terminal of the battery (located under the
floor on the left-hand side, in the cab) is
recommended if the vehicle is not to be used
for a period of more than 5 days.
