Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle ; place
t he heaviest items in the boot, as close as
possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit the summer tyres.
Comply with servicing
instructions
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
You will only see the fuel consumption
of your new vehicle settle down to a
consistent average after the first 1,900
miles
(3,000
kilometres).
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle’s nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.

If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the indicator lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.

The front passenger airbag is
deactivated.
The control is in the "OFF" position. You can install a "rear ward facing" child seat, unless

The distance indicated (in miles or
k ilometres) is calculated according to the
distance covered and the time elapsed
since the last ser vice.
The alert may be triggered close to a due
date.
Engine coolant temperature
With the engine running, when the needle or
bar graph (depending on version) is:
-
i
n zone A , the temperature of the engine
coolant is correct,
-
i
n zone B , the temperature of the engine
coolant is too high
; the maximum
temperature and central STOP warning
lamps come on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a warning message.
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Checking
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
a nd pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
F

ait at least one hour for the engine to cool,
F
u
nscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
F
w
hen the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap,
F
t
op up the level to the "MA X" mark.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Be aware of the risk of scalding when
topping up the coolant. Do not fill above
the maximum level (indicated on the
reservoir).
Wait a few
minutes before switching off the
engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been stopped for more than
30
minutes.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by a message in the
instrument panel.
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by a message in the
instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
Engine oil level indicator
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on, at
the same time as the ser vicing information.

Malfunction of the SCR
emissions control system
Malfunction detection
If a malfunction is detected, these
warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display
of an "Emissions fault" or "NO START
IN" message.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
Malfunction confirmed during
the permitted driving phase
(between 685 and 0 miles (1,100
and 0
km))
If the warning lamp is still on after 31 miles
( 50 km) of driving, the fault in the SCR system
is confirmed. The alert is triggered while driving as soon
as the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
Instruments
27
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Starting prevented
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
message "Emissions fault: Starting prevented"
or "NO START IN" is displayed.To be able to restart the engine, call on a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Distance recorders
The total and trip distances are displayed for
thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.
Total distance recorder
It measures the total distance travelled by the
vehicle since its first registration.
Trip distance recorder
It measures the distance travelled since it was
reset by the driver.
The AdBlue warning lamp flashes,
accompanied by the display of a message
("Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
X
miles" or "NO START IN X
miles") indicating
the remaining range in
miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds. The alert is repeated when
switching on the ignition.
You can continue driving for up to 685
miles
(1,100
km) before the engine star ting
prevention system is triggered. F
