For best results as well as for your
safety, use only CITROËN ap-
proved products which protect at
temperatures as low as –25°C to
–30°C.
Capacity:See “Capacities”. Brake fluid reservoir
Check and top up at regular inter-
vals.
The fluid level must be situated
within the
MAXandMIN marks visi-
ble on the reservoir.
If the warning lamp lights, stop im-
mediately and contact the nearest
CITROËN dealer.
Brake fluid
The synthetic fluid not only gives protection against corro sion but also en-
sures correct functioning of the braking system in all envir onmental condi-
tions, therefore you should only use the synthetic product r ecommended by
the manufacturer. (this fluid must be replaced every two yea rs).
These important requirements are detailed in your vehicle' s Maintenance
Guide.
Quality: See “Maintenance Guide”.
When working under the bonnet, when the engine is hot (even st opped
and the ignition switched off), the cooling fan could operat e at any time.

Priming the fuel system
HDi ENGINE:
In the event of running out of fuel:
After adding fuel, turn the ignition key to position M, then operate the starter motor until the engine starts.
Injection pump
Do not remove the seals on the pump setting screws under any ci rcumstances.
Alteration of the settings might lead to early engine failur e and loss of warranty cover.
Draining water from the fuel filter
Bleed regularly (each time the engine is drained).
To remove the water, loosen the bleed screw at the bottom of th e filter.
Operate until all the water has been expelled.
HDi engines are of a highly technical nature.
All maintenance and repairs require specific qualificatio ns
which only your CITROËN Dealer can guarantee.

Emergency starting with a slave battery
If the battery is discharged, the vehicle can be started witheither a slave bat-
tery or the battery on another vehicle.
Check that the voltage of the slave battery is correct (12 vol ts).
If you use the battery on another vehicle, the engine of this a ssisting vehicle
should be switched off. The two vehicles should not be touchi ng one another.
Lift the isolating protection on the + terminal.
Connect the cables in the order indicated in the illustratio n. Make sure that a
good contact is made (to prevent all risk of sparks).
It is essential to adhere to the correct sequence as indicate d.
Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at a fa st idle for about a
minute.
Then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged batt ery.
Note: Ensure that the insulating protection is refitted to the pos itive terminal
after any work. A
Positive terminal on a vehicle
which has broken down. (under
the bonnet) (under the bonnet).

Advice
Do not touch the cable clamps dur-
ing the procedure.
Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the re-
verse order to connection, ensuring
that they do not touch each other.

Fuse box
There are two fuse boxes, one below the dashboard and one under the bon-
net.
Fuses under the dashboard
To gain access to the fuses under the dashboard, open the cove r.
Replacing a fuse
Before replacing a fuse, it is essential to find the cause of t he inci-
dent and to rectify it. The fuse identification numbers are i ndicated
inside the fuse box.
The fuses positions which are not numbered are for spare fuse s.
Replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating (the same
colour).
