Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Service indicator
zero resetService overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner flashes to indicate that
the service must be carried out as soon as
possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 300 miles.
When the ignition is switched on, the
instrument panel screen indicates:
The spanner remains on alongside the
mileage recorder to indicate that a service is
overdue. For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner may also come on early,
according to the level of deterioration
of the engine oil, which depends on the
driving conditions in which the vehicle
is used.
After each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
If you have carried out the service yourself:

Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and
wait at least five minutes for the zero reset to
be taken into account.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
Service
warning lamp also comes on
when the ignition is switched on. The spanner may come on if you have
exceeded the period since the last service,
as indicated in the manufacturer's service
schedule.

Engine oil level indicator
The engine oil level is displayed in the
instrument panel screen for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on, after the
servicing information.Oil level correct
This is indicated by the display of the message
"Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by the service warning
lamp and an audible signal.
Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric
indicator, the oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check
the engine oil level using the manual
dipstick located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking
levels, refer to the corresponding
section.
Oil level incorrect
This is signalled by the display of the message
"Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument panel screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped-up to avoid damage to the
engine.
For more information on Checking
levels , refer to the corresponding
section.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30
m

inutes.

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
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.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top-up the engine oil.
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more than
30
m

inutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level 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).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F

ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
remove it completely.

efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
A = MA X
B = MIN
