the needle is positioned before the
red zone:   normal   operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic
  conditions,   the   needle   may  
move

  close   to   the   red   graduations.What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run
  at   idle.
What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:
-  
stop
  immediately,   switch   off   the  
ignition.

 
The
  fan   may   continue   to  
operate

  for   a   certain   time,   up   to  
approximately

  10   minutes,
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order

  to   check   the   coolant   level   and  
top

  it   up   if   necessary.
As   the   cooling   system   is   pressurised,  
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk

  of   scalding:
-
wait at least one hour after
switching of

f the engine before
carrying   out   any   work,
-  
unscrew
  the   cap   by   1/4   turn   to  
allow the pressure to drop,
-

when the pressure has dropped,
check

  the   level   on   the   expansion  bottle,
-

if necessary,  remove  the  cap  to  top  up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
  have   the   system   checked   by  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger  compartment,   it   is   possible  
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO

  is   displayed   or   the   value   27   by  
turning

  until   HI   is   displayed.
o

n entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature
  may   be   much   colder  
(or
  warmer)   than   is   comfortable.  
There
 
is no advantage in changing the value
displayed

  in   order   to   quickly   reach   the  
level

  of   comfort   required.  
The
  system  
will

  use   its   maximum   performance   to  
reach

  the   comfort   value   set.

d
river or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds   to   a   level   of   comfort   and  
not

  a   temperature   in   degrees   Celsius  
or

  Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase   the   value.  
A 
setting  
around the value 21 provides
optimum

  comfort.   However,  
depending

  on   your   requirements,   a  
setting

  between   18   and   24   is   usual.
d

o not cover the sunshine sensor
located
  on   the   dashboard.
Press this button, the A
ut
O

symbol
  is   displayed.
In accordance with the
comfort
  value   selected,  
the

  system   controls   the  
distribution,

  the   flow   and   the   intake  
of

  air   to   guarantee   comfort   and   a  
sufficient

  circulation   of   air   in   the  
passenger

  compartment.   No   further  
action

  on   your   part   is   required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the air diffuser
will  reach   its   optimum   level   gradually.
For
  your   comfort,   the   settings   are   stored
 when the ignition is switched of

f and are
reinstated
  the   next   time   the   vehicle   is
 started.
The

  automatic   function   will   no   longer   be
 maintained

  if   you   change   a   setting   manually
 (AUT

O   is   cleared).

distribution of loads
d

istribute the load in the trailer so
that
  the   heaviest   objects   are   as  
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum

  authorised   without,   however,  
exceeding

  it.
c

ooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature.a s the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
  engine   speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
  speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
  temperature.
driving advice
A towed   vehicle   must   free   wheel:  gearbox
  in   neutral.

cooling system
Only use the fluid 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
  fluid   has   to   be   added   frequently,  
this

  indicates   a   fault   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   filter,   you  are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
  40   mph   (60   km/h)   for   at   least   five  minutes
  as   soon   as   possible,   when  
traffic

  conditions   permit   (until   the  
message

  disappears   and   the   service  
warning

  lamp   goes   off).
d

uring regeneration of the particle
emission
  filter,   the   noise   of   a   relay  
operating

  may   be   heard   under   the  
dashboard.
If

  the   message   is   still   displayed   and  
if

  the   service   warning   lamp   remains  
on, contact a CITR

o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.
topping up
The

 
level
 
must
 
be
 
between
 
the
 
MIN
 
and

 
MAX
 
marks
 
on
 
the
 
expansion
 
bottle.

 
If
 
more
 
than
 
1
 
litre
 
of
 
fluid
 
is
 
required

 
to
 
top
 
up
 
the
 
level,
 
have
 
the
 
system

 
checked
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or

 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop.
Screenwash 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   fluid   must   not   be   topped  
up

  or   replaced   with   plain   water.
Capacity
  of   the   screenwash   reservoir:  
approximately

  3   litres.
If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   headlamp  
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is

  6   litres.
diesel additive level
( d iesel with particle
emission filter)
topping up
This   additive   must   be   topped   up   by  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop

  without   delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with   the   skin.
Brake
  fluid   is   harmful   to   health   and  
very

  corrosive.
Do
  not   dispose   of   used   oil,   brake   fluid  
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR

o Ë n dealer (France) or
an
  authorised   waste   disposal   site.
The
 
minimum
 
level
 
of
 
this
 
additive
 
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning

 
lamp,
 
accompanied
 
by
 
an
 
audible

 
signal
 
and
 
a
 
message
 
in
 
the
 
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation

 
of
 
the
 
particle
 
emission
 
filter
 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving

 
conditions:
 
low
 
speed,
 
long
 
traffic

 
jams,
 
...).
