2021 CITROEN C4 CACTUS low oil pressure

7
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of 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 your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
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.
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.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

Eco-driving

144
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.
Engines
Petrol
Diesel
These engines are examples provided as a
guide.
The locations of the following elements may
vary:
-
A
ir filter.
-

E
ngine oil dipstick.
-

E
ngine oil filler cap. 1.
Screenwash fluid reservoir.
2. Engine coolant reservoir.
3. Brake fluid reser voir.
4. Battery.
5. Fusebox.
6. A i r f i l t e r.
7. Engine oil dipstick.
8. Engine oil filler cap.
9. Remote earth point.
The Diesel fuel system operates under
very high pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.

S
tart the compressor by turning the switch
to the " l" position until the pressure of the
tyre reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant product
is injected under pressure into the tyre; do
not disconnect the hose of the valve during
this operation (risk of blowback).

In the event of a breakdown

156
After about 7 minutes, if a pressure of
2 bars is not reached, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
for assistance.

Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle by the
roadside, take it to a CITROËN dealer or
an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop. Do not exceed the speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.
