Safety
5General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
Depending on country regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud
flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories:
– The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not approved by CITROËN may
cause excessive current consumption and
faults and failures with the electrical system
of your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer
for information on the range of approved
accessories.
– As a safety measure, access to the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for
CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic
systems that could cause breakdowns or
serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot
be held responsible if this advice is not
followed.
– Any modification or adaptation not intended
or authorised by CITROËN or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty.
Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter with an external aerial, you must
without fail contact a CITROËN dealer for
the specification of transmitters which can
be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial
position, specific installation requirements),
in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
Declarations of conformity for radio
equipment
The relevant certificates are available on the
http://service.citroen.com/ACddb/ website.

► Pull the control located on the side of the
dashboard towards you.
On the outside

► Push the lever located above the grille
upwards and lift the bonnet.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
When the engine is hot, handle the lever and
the stay with care (risk of burns).


► Unclip the stay and rotate it to insert it into
the first slot and then into the second slot.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.
Closing the bonnet
► Before closing the bonnet, replace the stay in
its housing. ►
Lower the bonnet and release it near the end
of its travel. Check the bonnet is locked.

Practical information
7Topping up the engine oil level

► Remove the dipstick before topping up.
► Recover the oil filler neck.
► Unscrew the filler cap.
► Install the oil filler neck in the filler hole.
► Top up with oil.
► Remove the oil filler neck from the filler hole.
► Replace the filler cap.
► Replace the dipstick.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold, by reading the level on the filler
neck.
Unscrew the cap secured to the dipstick. To
access the reservoir cap, remove the protective
cover by turning its three fixing screws a quarter
turn, then remove the second cover placed on
the cap.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to
the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN” mark, it
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.


To gain access to the tank cap, remove the
protective cover by turning its three fixing screws
a quarter of a turn.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Check the coolant level regularly
according to the use of your vehicle
(every 3,000 miles (5,000 km) / 3 months).

Audio system
11To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition
is switched off or a USB memory stick is
connected. The lists are memorised: if they are
not modified, the subsequent loading time will
be shorter.
USB socket
Located on the central console, this
socket is used only to power and
recharge the connected portable device.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Connect a portable device (MP3 player,
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an
audio cable (not supplied).
First adjust the volume on your portable device
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume on your
audio system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.
The functions of the device connected to the
“AUX” socket are managed directly by this
device: it is therefore not possible to change the
track/folder/playlist or manipulate the playback
start/end/pause using the controls on the control
panel or the steering wheel.
Do not leave the cable of your portable device
connected to the “AUX” socket when not in use,
to avoid possible noise from the speakers.
Information and advice
The system supports USB Mass Storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players
via the USB sockets. The adapter cable is not
supplied.
Other devices, not recognised by the system
during connection, must be connected to
the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable (not
supplied).
It is advisable to restrict file names to 20
characters, without using special characters (e.g.
" " ? . ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or display
problems.
Only use USB memory sticks formatted to FAT
32 (File Allocation Table).
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The system does not support the simultaneous connection of two identical
devices (two memory sticks or two
Apple
® players) but it is possible to connect
one memory stick and one Apple® player at
the same time.
It is recommended that you use genuine
Apple® USB cables to guarantee correct
operation.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect the Apple® player to the USB
socket using a suitable cable (not
supplied).
Play starts automatically.
Control is via the audio system.
The classifications available are those of the portable device connected (artists/
albums/types/tracks/playlists/audio books/
podcasts).
The default classification is sorting by artist.
To change the classification used, return to
the first level of the menu and then select the
desired classification (playlists for example)
and confirm to browse the tree to the desired
track.
The audio system software version may not be compatible with the generation of
your Apple
® player.
