DRIVING
LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal traffi c
lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front bum-
per, trigger a warning if the vehicle
drifts over a lane marking (speed
higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.

Activation



)
Press this button, the indicator
lamp comes on.



Deactivation



)
Press this button again, the indi-
cator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.


Detection

You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:


- on the right-hand side, if the
marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,

- on the left-hand side, if the marking
on the ground has been crossed
on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a
direction marking (e.g. arrow) or
non-standard marking (e.g. graffi ti)
is crossed.


Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The detection may be impeded:


- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),

- if the markings on the ground
are worn,

-
if there is little contrast between
the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

CHECKS






CHECKING LEVELS

















Oil level


Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade
for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the interval for this opera-
tion.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.



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.
This manual check will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil lev-
el between two services (or oil
changes). CITROËN recommends
that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.

Take care when working
under the bonnet, as cer-
tain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).












Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid
level should be close to the
"MAX" mark. With the engine
cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.


If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.

Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation. After topping up the oil, the check
when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instru-
ment panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.

CHECKS




















Screenwash and headlamp wash
fl uid

Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain
water.











Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle emission
filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the multi-
function screen.

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.









Used products

Avoid 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.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop (France) or
to an authorised waste disposal
site.
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next
stop the vehicle.











Coolant level


Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm,
the temperature of the coolant is
regulated by the fan. This can ope-
rate 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.
To avoid any risk of scalding, un-
screw the cap by two turns to al-
low the pressure to drop. When the
pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
12 V BATTERY
Procedure for starting the engine
using another battery or for charging
your fl at battery.


The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.







The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of
a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.

After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).

*
or position P
for an automatic gear-
box.


Access to the battery

Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: ap-
ply the parking brake, put
the gearbox in neutral * , then switch
off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment
is switched off.


Check that the battery posts and
terminals are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
green deposit), disconnect them
and clean them.

Batteries contain harmful
substances such as sul-
phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in
any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used cell batteries and vehi-
cle batteries to an authorised col-
lection point.
The battery is located under the
bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:


)
Release the bonnet using the
interior lever, then the exterior
safety catch,

)
raise the bonnet and secure it
with its stay,

)
lift the plastic cover for access to
the (+) terminal.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Before disconnecting


)
Go to the battery.

)
Check that all of the openings -
doors, boot... - are closed but not
locked.

)
Wait at least four minutes after
switching off the ignition.
Charging


)
Disconnect the (+) terminal.

)
Follow the instructions on use
provided by the manufacturer of
the charger.

)
Connect the red cable of the
charger to the (+) post of the bat-
tery, then the black cable to the
(-) terminal.

)
Once charging is complete, dis-
connect the charger cables in re-
verse order.
The charging operation
must be carried out in a
well ventilated area and
well away from naked fl ames and
sources of sparks, so as to avoid
any risk of explosion and fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen bat-
tery; the battery must fi rst be
thawed out to avoid any risk of ex-
plosion. If the battery has frozen,
before charging, have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop, who will ensure that
the internal components have not
been damaged and that the casing
is not cracked, which would intro-
duce the risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.



Charging the battery using a
battery charger
If the battery of your vehicle is fl at
or prior to taking the vehicle out of
service for an extended period, you
can charge the battery using a bat-
tery charger.
For information on the specifi cation
of battery chargers compatible with
your battery, refer to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
It is recommended that the battery
be disconnected if the vehicle is not
be used for more than a month.
Reinitialisation after
reconnection

After any reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
at least one minute before starting,
to allow time for the initialisation of
the electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding
sections, you should set or initialise
the following systems yourself:


- the date and time,

- the anti-pinch on the driver's
electric window and the sunroof.

- the panoramic sunroof blind,

- the multifunction screen settings,

- the audio system or navigation
system settings,
Check that there no error message
or warning lamp comes on after
switching on the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist
after carrying out these operations,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
