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.

Oil level indicator fault
This is indicated by a message on the
instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.To locate the dipstick and the oil filler
cap for the Diesel engine , refer to the
corresponding section.
AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot
function without AdBlue
®fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the
reser ve level (between 1,500 miles and 0 miles
(2,400 and 0
km)), a warning lamp lights
up when the ignition is switched on and an
estimate of the distance that can be travelled
before engine starting is prevented is displayed
in the instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
empty. It is then no longer possible to
start the engine until the minimum level of
AdBlue
® has been topped up.
Manual display of the range
While the range is greater than 1,500 miles
( 2,400 km), it is not displayed automatically. With touch screen
Actions required related to a lack
of AdBlue®
The following warning lamps light up when the
quantity of AdBlue® is lower than the reser ve
level corresponding to a range of 1,500
miles
(2, 4 0 0
k m).
Together with the warning lamps, messages
regularly remind you of the need to top up to
avoid engine starting being prevented. Refer to
the Warning and indicator lamps section for
details of the messages displayed. You can access this information via
the "
Driving/Vehicle " menu.

Instruments
193
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.
F
A
dd more oil if necessary.
F
A
fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
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
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.

To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
For more information on the Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections
are clean.
For more information on the precautions to
take before any work on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
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.
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty
atmosphere, city driving), change it
twice as often if necessar y .
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty
atmosphere, city driving), change it
twice as often if necessar y .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Practical information
195
Particle filter (Diesel)
or The start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment. New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration
operations may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37 mph (60
km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off. After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
