Maintenance intervals
If you use your vehicle in particu-larly diffi cult conditions, it is essen-tial to use the service schedule for "severe conditions" comprising shorter intervals between services. See "Maintenance and Warranty Guide".
Reset to zero
Your CITROËN technician resets the indicator to zero after each service. However, if you do your own servicing, the procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:1. Switch off the ignition.2. Press on button A and keep it pressed.3. Switch on the ignition.4. Keep button A pressed down until the screen indicates "=0"and the maintenance symbol disappears.
Note: If the maximum time between two oil changes is reached before the mileage has been covered, the mainte-nance spanner lights up and the instrument panel indicates "0".
MILEAGE RECORDER

AIR CONDITIONING
This system automatically adjusts the temperature, the fl ow of air and the distribution of air inside the cabin, depending on your desired comfort level.
Provided you retain automatic mode (by pressing button "AUTO") and all the air vents are open, you will main-tain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity and misting, whatever the ambient climatic conditions.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not operating.
To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed. If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, air the passenger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once every month.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-sumption.
Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside the cabin makes use of a number of sensors, relieving you of the need to make adjustments, other than the desired cabin temperature.
Take care not to obstruct sensor A.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid targeting the air inlet zone.
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front and at the rear.
The air vents to the face have thumbwheels so that you can adjust the flow of air, and grilles to orient the direction.
There are air vents on the fl oor underneath the front seats and on the rear control panel, for enhanced heat-ing of the rear seat positions.
Do not obstruct the air outlets located in the boot area.
Dust/pollen fi lter
There is a fi lter for excluding pollen and dust.
This filter has to be changed according to the vehi cle maintenance schedule. See "Maintenance and Warranty Guide".

Replacing the battery
The remote control is powered by a 6V-28L battery cell, which is included.
Information appears on the screen when this battery should be replaced.
Unclip the casing and replace the battery.
The remote control must then be re-initialised, as described on this page.
Do not discard old batteries; take them to an approved recycling point.
Re-initialisation of the remote control
P R O G R A M M A B L E H E A T I N G
If the battery is disconnected or replaced, the remote control must be re-initialised.
After switching on, within fi ve sec-onds press button 4 (OFF) for 1 second.
If the operation is successful, the "OK" message appears in the remote control screen.
If not, the "FAIL" message appears. Repeat the procedure.
As a secondary advantage, use of your programmable heating sys-tem allows it to be used to pre-heat the passenger compartment.
Always switch off the program-mable heating while refuelling in order to avoid the risk of fi re or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxication or asphyxiation, the program-mable heating should not be used, even for a short time, in an enclosed space such as a garage, or workshop without exhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle over infl ammable materials (dry grass, dead leaves, papers…), as there is a risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel tank. Before using it, ensure that there is suffi cient fuel in the tank. If the low fuel warning lamp is on we strongly recommend that you do not programme the heating to come on.

If you should put in fuel that is not suitable for your vehicle's engine type, it is imperative to have the tank drained be fore you start the engine again.
While you are refuelling, the engine must be stopped and the ignition switched off.
For a petrol engine with a cata-lytic converter, unleaded fuel is compulsory.
The fi ller neck is narrower to ensure that only unleaded petrol can be put in.
When you are seeking to fi ll your tank, do not persist after the third cut-off; that could cause your vehicle to malfunction.
Fuel must be added in quantities of more than 5 litres to be recog-nised by the fuel gauge.
To open the fl ap, press button A. Undo the cap and attach it to the tab on the inside of the fl ap.
Opening the cap can trigger a vac-uum. This results in a noise caused by the sealing of the fuel circuit.Note: The fuel fl ap is locked when you lock your vehicle with the remote control.
FUEL QUALITY
A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you which type of fuel to use.
The petrol engines are designed to run on RON 95.
However, for better performance (petrol engine), we recommend RON 98

Quality of the fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible E5 type petrol bio fuels (containing 5 % ethanol), conforming to European standard EN 228.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved excl usively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must comply with European standard EN 15376.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed to run on fuels cont aining up to 100 % ethanol (type E100).
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible with biofuels which conform to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) which can be distributed at the pumps (possible incorporation of 0 to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, domestic fuel oil, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel circuit).
The fuel consumption fi gures quoted are correct at time of goi ng to press.
