The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary. The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.
With audio system
In the "
Personalisation-
configuration " menu, select
" Under-inflation initialisation ".
With touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle "
menu, select " Under-inflation
initialisation ".
Press on " Ye s" to Confirm the command,
initialisation is confirmed by an audible signal
and a message.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system. In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Checking levels
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.The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
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).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
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 equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).

damage to the engine), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level

corresponding underbonnet layout view.

opening.

filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30
minutes after topping-
up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the manufacturer’s service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The fluid level should be close to
the "MA X" mark. Verify this, with the
engine cool, by reading the level on
the filler neck.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with
the engine cool.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.

Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out. Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
In winter, check that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. If not, in
freezing weather, the AdBlue
® cannot be
poured into the tank. Park your vehicle
somewhere warmer for a few hours before
topping up.
Procedure
The supply in a non-drip container or bottle
simplifies topping up. Containers are available
from a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In cold weather, before per forming the top-up
ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Other wise the AdBlue
® may be
frozen and so cannot be poured into its tank.
Park your vehicle in a warmer area for a few
hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.
