WARNING LAMPS
Each time the vehicle is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a self-test check. They switch off almost
immediately. When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or fl ashes.
This initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message which appears on the display.
Do not ignore these warnings.

CHECKS

Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible. Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, relay noise may be
heard under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and if
the service warning light remains on,
consult a CITROËN dealer.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer. Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by lighting of the
service warning light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the display.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...). Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a CITROËN dealer
without delay.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at CITROËN dealer.

Checks
CHECKS
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access fl ap below the glove box
permits replacement of the fi lters.
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits). Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
fi lter maintenance is carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, consult a CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
Refer to the servicing booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.
