AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle,
but it cannot detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking assistance is activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
moves closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
- two side sensors
A
- two central sensors B . Vehicle only
Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ according to
the vehicle's equipment, with or without
towbar.
Therefore, you can select the towbar
mode, the fi tting zone
C is excluded
from the detection zones.
The parking assistance system can-
not, in any circumstances, take the
place of the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.
Sensors

Distance
between vehicle and obstacle less than:
Side A Approximately
25 cm
Central B without
towbar Approximately
40 cm
Central B with
towbar Approximately
60 cm
System consisting of proximity sensors,
installed in the rear bumper.

a towbar,
- is heard once on vehicles which are
not fi tted with a towbar.
The red line indicates the distance re-
quired to open the lower tailgate.

Bonnet strut
OPENING THE BONNET
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is properly locked.

From outside: move the catch to the
left then raise the bonnet. Secure the strut in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace the
strut in its clip.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is hot, handle the ex-
terior control and the bonnet strut with
care (risk of burns).
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

From inside: pull the handle A , on the
left-hand side below the door, towards
you. If you run out of fuel, fi ll the tank and
operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Several attempts must be made before
the engine re-starts.

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Wash-wipe and headlamp wash * fluid
Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.
* According to country.
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your en-
gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.
Power steering fluid level
Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.
Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding circuit checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).

Diesel additive level (Diesel with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is indi-
cated by lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is topped
up by a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Used products
CHECKS
Battery
Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and
winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried out
by a CITROËN dealer.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
CITROËN network. Do not discard the oil fi lter through
public channels, deposit it in the
containers dedicated to this use
in the CITROËN network.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

Manual gearbox
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of gearbox mainte-
nance.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle 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 wear status
For any information relat-
ing to checking of the brake
disc wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake
If the handbrake travel is too
long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the handbrake must be
adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations. In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited .
Transfer box and rear differential
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the service interval
for these components.
