FUEL GAUGEC OOLANT TEMPERATURE
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 the procedure below to avoid the
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   in   the   header   tank,
- 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.Refer

  to   chapter   7,   "Levels"  
section.
Refer

 
to
 
chapter

"Fuel"
 
section.
The fuel level is tested each time the
key
 
is
 
turned
 
to
 
the
 
"running"
 
position.
The
 
gauge
 
is
 
positioned
 
on:

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.
On 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.
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system
  operating   mode. Driver 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.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located   on   the   dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol
  is   displayed.
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
according

  to   the   comfort   value   set.   No  
further

  action   on   your   part   is   required.Air
  flow   will   increase   gradually   when  
the

engine is cold, to prevent excessive
distribution   of   cold   air.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle   is   started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually   (AUTO   is   cleared).

For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter  9,   "Weights"   section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
Distribute 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.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature. As 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).
During 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 CITROËN 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 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.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
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 CITROËN 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
 
filter
 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving

 
conditions:
 
low
 
speed,
 
long
 
traffic

 
jams,
 
...).

REMOVABLE SNOW SCREEN
(
BLANKING COVER )
According to country, the removable
snow screen is installed on the lower
part of the front bumper to prevent the
accumulation of snow at the radiator
cooling
  fan.
Fitting Removal
- Offer up the snow screen facing its
centring pin A   on   the   front   bumper.
-

Put it in place by pressing at each
clip

B   located   in   the   four   corners.
Do not forget to remove the
snow screen when the exterior
temperature is higher than 10°C
(no

 
risk
 
of
 
snowfall)
 
and
 
when
 
towing. -

Pass a screwdriver into the hole
located
  near   each   of   the   clips.
-

Use the screwdriver as a lever to
unclip the four clips

B   in   turn.
