The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions
in
  the   exhaust   gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The
  filler   neck   is   narrower,   allowing   only  
u

nleaded   petrol   nozzles   to   be   introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before star ting the
engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle. Mechanical   device   which   prevents   filling   the   tank   of   a   Diesel   vehicle   with   petrol.   It   avoids   the   risk   of  
e

ngine   damage   that   can   result   from   filling   with   the   wrong   fuel.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill   the   tank.
In   order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d

o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device and pour
s l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device
  may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
the
  country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
* Depending
 
on
 
the
 
country
 
of
 
sale.

 U nclip   the   stay   from   its   housing   and   place  i
t in the support slot to hold the bonnet
open.
Opening
F Pull the release lever, located at the bottom of   the   door   aperture,   towards   you. Before
  doing   anything   under   the  
b

onnet, switch off the Stop & Start
system
  to   avoid   any   risk   of   injury  
r

esulting   from   an   automatic   change   to  
S

TART   mode.
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan blades. Do not open the bonnet under very
windy
 c

onditions.
The location of the interior bonnet
release   lever   prevents   opening   of   the  
b

onnet when the left hand front door
is   shut.
When   the   engine   is   hot,   handle   the  
e

xterior   safety   catch   and   the   stay   with  
c

are   (risk   of   burns),   using   the   protected  
a

rea.
When   the   bonnet   is   open,   take   care   not  
t

o   damage   the   safety   catch.
Because of the presence of electrical equipment under the bonnet, it is recommended that
exposure   to   water   (rain,   washing,   ...)   be   limited.
Closing
F Take  the   stay   out   of   its   support   slot.
F  C lip   the   stay   back   into   its   housing.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any   time   (even   with   the   ignition   off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the   ignition   is   switched   on   using   the  
o

il level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using
  the   dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding   underbonnet   layout   view.
F
 
T
ake   the   dipstick   by   its   coloured   grip   and  
r

emove   it   completely.
F
 
W
ipe   the   end   of   the   dipstick   using   a   clean  
n

on-fluffy   cloth.
F
 
R
efit   the   dipstick   and   push   fully   down,   then  
p

ull   it   out   again   to   make   the   visual   check:  
t

he   correct   level   is   between   the   marks   A
and B .
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two
 
services
 
(or
 
oil
 
changes).
 
CITROËN
 
r

ecommends
 
that
 
you
 
check
 
the
 
level,
 
and
 
top-
up
 
if
 
necessary,
 
every
 
3
 
000
 
miles
 
(5
 
000
 
kms).
Check
 
all
 
of
 
these
 
levels
 
regularly,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
manufacturer's   service   schedule.   Top   them   up   if   necessary,   unless   other wise   indicated.
If
 
a
 
level
 
drops
 
significantly,
 
have
 
the
 
corresponding   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
To
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
reading
 
is
 
correct,
 
y

our
 
vehicle
 
must
 
be
 
parked
 
on
 
a
 
level
 
s

ur face
 
with
 
the
 
engine
 
having
 
been
 
off
 
f

or
 
more
 
than
 
30
 
minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A
  mark   or  
belo

w the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX
 
mark   (risk  
o

f   damage   to   the   engine),   contact   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN
 
mark,   you

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However,  check   that   the   terminals  
a

re   clean   and   correctly   tightened,  
p

articularly   in   summer   and   winter.Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery
  with   special   technology   and
 s

pecification.
 T

he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop   is   essential   when
 r

eplacing   or   disconnecting   the   battery.
Unless
  other wise   indicated,   check   these   components   in   accordance   with   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule   and   according   to   your   engine.
Other wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Depending   on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A   clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may  
h

ave an adverse effect on the per formance
of   the   air   conditioning   system   and   generate  u
ndesirable o dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter
  is   indicated   by   the   fixed  
i

llumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   warning   message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate
  the   filter   by   driving   at   a  
s

peed   of   at   least   40   mph   (60   km/h)   until  
t

he
 
warning   lamp   goes   off.
If
 
the   warning   lamp   stays   on,   this  
i

ndicates   a   low   additive   level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular,
  refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
  regeneration   operations   may   be  
a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,  
w

hich   is   per fectly   normal.
Following
  prolonged   operation   of   the  
v

ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice the emission of water vapour at
the
 
exhaust   on   acceleration.   This   does  
n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
 
the   environment.
When
 
carrying
 
out
 
work
 
on
 
the
 
battery,
 
refer
 
t

o the " 12 V batter y " section for details of the
precautions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
before
 
disconnecting
 
t

he
 
battery
 
and
 
following
 
its
 
reconnection.

Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case o

f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to   have
 t

he   condition   of   the   brakes   checked,
 e

ven   between   vehicle   services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality
 an
d
 sp
ecification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking
  system,   CITROËN   selects   and  
o

ffers   very   specific   products.
After
  washing   the   vehicle,   dampness,  
o

r in wintry conditions, ice can form
on
  the   brake   discs   and   pads:   braking  
e

fficiency   may   be   reduced.   Make   light  
b

rake   applications   to   dry   and   defrost  
t

he   brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the " Electric
parking brake - Operating faults "
  section.
This system does not require any
routine
  servicing.   However,   in   the  
e

vent of a problem, have the system
checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule   for   the   checking   interval   for  
t

his
 c
omponent.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule for details of the level
checking
  interval   for   this   component.
To
  avoid   damaging   the   electrical   units,  
n

ever use   a   high   pressure   jet   wash   in  
t

he   engine   compartment.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   in   the   circuit,   a   drop   in  
t

he   brake   fluid   level   indicates   that   the   brake  
p

ads   are   worn.
