litres.
Low fuel level
When the level in the tank becomes
low, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by the display of a
message and an
audible signal. When it first comes
on, there remains about 6


litres of
fuel in the tank.
Refuelling
Fuel top-ups must be of at least 5 litres in order
t o be registered by the fuel gauge.

Operation
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
reappears every time the ignition is switched
on, accompanied by the message and the
audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0 .
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After switching off the engine and for a
maximum
cumulative period of around 40
minutes, you can
continue to use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, the wipers, the dipped beam
headlamps, the courtesy lamps, etc.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a
telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically
reactivated the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

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
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
A
dd oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
Do not star t the engine if the level is:

A
bove mark A
, then contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
B
elow mark B
, then top up the engine oil
immediately.
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,
and may be very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers
reser ved for this purpose at a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked either using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched
on, for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
The vehicle must be parked on a level sur face,
w ith the engine stopped for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
ser vices (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Practical information

During the 30 minutes after topping up the
o il, the check per formed with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close
to the " MAX" mark. If not, check the
brake pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level
regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services. The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a
risk of serious damage
to the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
" MAX " mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid 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.
To avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top
up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.

could be caught in the blades of the
fan!Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an anti-freeze agent must be
used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to preser ve the elements of
the system (pump, tank, ducts, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited
under all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, jets, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel
with particle filter)
or The minimum level in the particle
filter additive tank is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a
message warning that the level
of additive is too low.

Check that the parking brake warning
lamps in the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a
chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
