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:
-
before a long journey
,
-

at each change of season,
-


after 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 maintenance
and warranty guide.
With a Blue HDi 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 nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of
the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
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.

WARNING LAMPS
Each time the vehicle is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a self-test check. They go off almost immediately.
When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or flashes. This initial warning
may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message which appears in the screen.
Do not ignore these warnings.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel.If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the brake
and STOP warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
firmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
o

n very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal firmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that these are
recommended by CITROËN. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which meet the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Warning lamps
If you have to remove / refit the
engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
It is recommended that the oil level be
checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)
and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least
five
minutes as soon as possible,
when traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITROËN dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).

by CITROËN or products
of equivalent quality and
specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
