If one of the doors or the boot is still open
or if the electronic key for the K eyless
Entry and Starting system has been left
inside the vehicle, the central locking does
not take place.
However, the alarm (if fitted) will be fully
activated after about 45
seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked inadvertently and
no action is taken at the doors or boot, the
vehicle will automatically lock itself again
after about 30
seconds.
If fitted to your vehicle, the alarm will also
be reactivated automatically.
The automatic folding and unfolding
of the door mirrors can be deactivated
by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. As a
safety measure (children on board),
never leave the vehicle without taking the
electronic key for the
K
eyless Entry and
Starting system with you, even for a
short
period.
Be aware of the risk of theft when the
electronic key for the
K
eyless Entry and
Starting system is in one of the defined
zones with the vehicle unlocked.
In order to preser ve the battery in the
electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "hands-free" functions are put into
long-term standby after 21
days without
use. To restore these functions, press
one of the remote control buttons or start
the engine with the electronic key in the
reader.
For more information on starting with
K
eyless Entr y and Star ting, refer to the
corresponding section. Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt,
etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a
cloth does not restore
detection, contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.

wipe away any excess.
Washer jet adjustment
Headlamp washFront screenwash and
headlamp wash
Screenwash and washer jets
The headlamp washers operate while the
vehicle is moving and the dipped beams are
on. However, to reduce the consumption of
the screenwash fluid, the headlamp washers
only operate with every seventh use of the
screenwash or every 25
miles (40 km) during
a
given journey.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position allows you to
release the front windscreen wiper blades in
order to clean their rubber inserts or to replace
the blades. It can also be useful in winter to
release the wiper blades from the windscreen. F
I
n the minute following ignition switch-off,
any operation of the wiper control stalk will
position the wiper blades vertically.
When the system is no longer powered, at least
one minute after the ignition is switched off, it is
possible to move the arms manually.
F
T
o park the wiper blades again, gently fold
the arms onto the windscreen, switch on the
ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
-
h
andle them with care,
-
c
lean them regularly using soapy
water,
-
a
void using them to retain cardboard
on the windscreen,
-
r
eplace them at the first signs of wear.
The arms must only be replaced by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The front screenwash includes a
washer jet
height adjustment device.
If you wish to change the factory setting, turn
the screw of each washer jet anticlockwise,
towards the "+" to raise the jet or clockwise,
towards the "-", to lower it.

Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. To avoid the risk of scalding when 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.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reser voir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reser voir is refilled.
The next time you stop, have the screenwash/
headlamp wash reser voir topped up.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message that
the particle filter additive level 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.
Level of AdBlue
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR
system, and, in particular, topping up the tank,
refer to the corresponding section.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant 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.

Fitting the "space-saver " 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 "space-saver"
spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
With a "space-saver " type spare wheel
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you
on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it
must be replaced. The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.

Changing a bulb
The lamps 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.
Changing a
bulb should only be done after
the lamp 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
failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. 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.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D5S-25W) must be replaced
by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Light-emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
