2022 CITROEN C-ELYSÉE change

On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
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.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic 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.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc 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 checked, even between two
services.
This system must be 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 units
as important as those in the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers very
specific products.
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.

the vehicle.
Access to tooling
List of tools
1Wheelbrace.
For removing the hub cap and removing
the wheel bolts.
2 Jack with integrated crank.
Used to raise the vehicle.
3 Wheel bolt cover removal tool.
Removes the wheel bolt covers on alloy
wheels.
4 Towing eye.
For more information on Towing the vehicle ,
refer to the corresponding section. All of these tools are specific to your
vehicle and may vary according to the
level of equipment.
Do not use them for any other purposes.
The jack must only be used to change a
wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original jack,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain the correct jack for it.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
* Position P for the automatic gearbox
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear* so as to
block the wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamp comes on fixed in the instrument
panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Make sure that the jack is correctly
positioned at one of the vehicle's jacking
points.
Incorrect use of the jack could cause the
vehicle to collapse.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Do not use a jack other than the one
supplied by the manufacturer.
Wheel with hub cap
When removing the wheel
, first remove
the hub cap using the wheelbrace by
pulling at the valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel , after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the hub cap, starting
by placing its aperture in line with the
valve and then pushing it into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.

List of operations
Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
A bulb must only be changed with the
ignition off and after the headlamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a faulty bulb with a new
bulb of the same type and specification.
Fastening the spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
using a "space-saver" type spare wheel.
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
refit it on the vehicle as soon as possible.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
