Practical information
To fit the transverse roof bars or a roof rack, use
the fixing points provided for this purpose:
►
Remove the fixing covers installed on the
vehicle.
►
Put each fixing in place and lock them on the
roof one by one.
►
Ensure that the roof bars or the roof rack are
correctly fitted (by shaking them).
The bars are adaptable for each fixing point.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of the engine restarting automatically.
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan
or in certain moving components - risk of
strangulation and serious injury!
The location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents the bonnet being
opened when the left-hand front door is
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the fan!
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door .
► Pull the interior release lever, located at the
bottom of the door frame, towards you.
►
Lift the exterior safety catch and raise the
bonnet.
► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it
in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
► Hold the bonnet and pull out the stay from the
support slot.
►
Clip the stay in its housing.
►
Lower the bonnet and release it near the end
of its travel.
►
Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked
correctly
.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.

The system only registers AdBlue
® top-ups of
5
litres or more.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
“Top up
AdBlue: Starting impossible ” – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.
After refilling

Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
purchased them.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).

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.
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 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
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (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.

In the event of a breakdown
8Putting the spare wheel back in the
carrier
► Position the wheel facing the carrier.
► Progressively return the wheel to the carrier
by pushing alternately at left and right until it is
clear of the hook fixing area.
►
Engage the carrier on the hook, then tighten
the bolt using the wheelbrace handle until the
bolt is tight.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode
P
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel , refit the wheel
trim, 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.
► With a steel wheel, remove the wheel trim
using tool 7
.
►
With an alloy wheel, remove the cap from
each of the bolts using tool 7
.
►
If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt
socket
8 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security
bolt.
►
Slacken
(without removing) the other wheel
bolts using just wheelbrace 5.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
► Place the foot of the jack on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the A
or B jacking
point provided on the underbody, whichever is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
