Compatibility of fuels
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m).
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
f ormation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50
% full.
At temperatures below -15
°C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590,
EN16734 and EN16709 standards respectively
and containing up to 7%, 10%, 20% and 30%
fatty acid methyl ester respectively. The use of
B20 or B30 fuels, even occasionally, imposes
special maintenance conditions referred to as
"Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the
EN15940 standard.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: Approximately 69 litres.
R eser ve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in
the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message.
Stop & Star t
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode
; you must switch off the ignition.
When it first comes on, less than 8
litres
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.

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:
-
f
or less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5
minutes,
-
f
or more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30
minutes.A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12
V batter y
,
refer to the corresponding section.
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 the air conditioning
and the heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit. Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
Roof bars/Roof rack
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the roof bars and racks approved for the
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars and racks.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before
each trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.

The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's requirements 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
and 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 oil level is checked on a level
sur face with the engine stopped for
at least 30 minutes, 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.
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.

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing

grade for your engine and conforms to the
manufacturer's recommendations.Topping up the engine oil level

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. If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.

Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be
close to the " MAX" mark. With the
engine cold and the vehicle standing
on level ground, check this by
reading the level on the filler neck.
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. the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
Screen and headlamp
washer fluid
Top up the reser voir when you next
stop the vehicle.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-
use mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of
the system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
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 Filling with pure water is prohibited
under all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel

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.
