Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 reserved
for this purpose at a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the

Practical information
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.
In order 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.
(Electric)
Do not top up the coolant.
If the level is close to or below
the "MIN" mark, it is essential to contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when necessary.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed
product.
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
services (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.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely
.
►
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth.
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil
level: the correct level is between marks A
(max)
and B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–
above mark
A: contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
– below mark B : top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the
recommendations in the service schedule
supplied with the vehicle (or available from
your CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
illustration.
►
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
W
ait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►
T
op up the level if necessary.
►
After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on
and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes
following an addition of oil.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold, by reading the level on the filler
neck.
Engine coolant
(Diesel)
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 level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark, it
is essential to top it up.
196
Practical information
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake
disc/drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
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
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance 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
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
alert message.
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.
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
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly 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).
Drive selector (Electric)
The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
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.
201
Practical information
7Keyless Entry and Starting
You must not depress the brake pedal
while switching the ignition on again, then
switching it off. If you do, the engine will start,
requiring you to restart the procedure.
Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away and deactivate
the “hands-free” function (Hands-Free
Access).
When using a pressure washer, hold the
lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle
(particularly when cleaning areas containing
chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect
secretions, pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits (in
coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) and
mud (in wet or cold areas). These substances
can be highly corrosive.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage to the instruments and controls and
the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents,
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of
light, through variations in appearance and
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that
remain visible and create a unique satin effect
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic
roller-brush car wash.
206
In the event of a breakdown
E.Compartment housing a cable with an
adaptor for a 12
V socket.
F. Sealant cartridge.
G. White pipe with cap for repair and inflation.
H. Speed limit sticker.
The vehicle's electrical system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair.
Only use the two 12 V sockets, located at the
front, to connect your compressor.
Repair and sealing
procedure
► Park the vehicle without obstructing any
traffic and apply the parking brake.
►
Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing high
visibility vest, etc.) according to the legislation in
force in the country where you are driving.
► Switch off the ignition.► Turn the selector A to the "Repair"
position.
►
Check that switch
B is in position " O".
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which
have penetrated the tyre.
► Uncoil the white pipe G fully.
► Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
►
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired.
►
Connect the compressor's electrical plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.
► Affix the speed li mit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's
field of vision, to remind you that a wheel is in
temporary use.
► Start the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: the sealant product would be expelled
through the pipe.
►
Switch on the compressor by moving switch
B
to position I until the tyre pressure reaches
2.0 bars. The sealant product is injected under
pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect the
pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
blowback).
If after approximately seven minutes this
pressure is not reached, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
►
Remove the kit and screw the cap back on
the white pipe.
Take care to avoid contaminating
the vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to
hand.
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 of the fluid is marked on the
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in
standard waste, take it to a CITROËN dealer
or an authorised waste disposal site.
207
In the event of a breakdown
8Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
► Drive immediately for approximately three
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 12 and 37
mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to
plug the puncture.
►
Stop to check the repair and measure the
tyre pressure using the kit.
Inflating, adjusting and
checking tyre pressures
► Turn selector A to the "Inflation"
position.
►
Uncoil the white pipe G
fully.
►
Connect the white pipe to the valve on the
repaired tyre.
►
Reconnect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12
V socket.
►
Start the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must tell the technician that the kit has
been used. After inspection, the technician
will advise you on whether the tyre can be
repaired or if it must be replaced.
►
Adjust the tyre pressure using the
compressor (to inflate: set switch
B to position
"I"; to deflate: set switch B to position "O" and
press button C), according to the vehicle's tyre
pressure label located by the driver's door.
A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully sealed; contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have
your vehicle repaired.
►
Remove the kit and stow it.
► Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
(80 km/h) max.), limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 125 miles (200
km).
The compressor can also be used, without injecting sealant, to check and
adjust the tyre pressures.
If after approximately 7 minutes the
required pressure is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is irreparably damaged;
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200
km) with a repaired tyre; see a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
tyre changed.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
