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.
d
on'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 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.

SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according to the use of the vehicle.More than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain
before
the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few
seconds, the screen shows:
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance
recorder resumes normal
operation showing the total and trip
distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few seconds, the spanner flashes and the number of miles/kilometres
remaining is displayed:
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance
recorder resumes normal
operation
and the spanner remains on.
This indicates that a service should be
carried
out shortly.
Service overdue
Operation
A
few
moments
after
the
ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating
a
service
operation
comes
on; the display for the total distance
recorder
gives
(in
round
figures)
the
distance
remaining
before
the
next
service.
The points at which a service is due
are
calculated
from
the
last
indicator
zero
reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined
by
two
parameters:
-
the distance travelled,
-
the
time
which
has
elapsed
since
the
last
service.
The
distance
remaining
before
the
next
service
may
be
weighted
by
the
time
factor,
depending
on
the
type
of
driving. With the engine running the spanner
remains
on until the service has been
carried
out.
For BlueH
d i d iesel versions, this
alert
is also accompanied by the fixed
illu
mination of the Service warning
lamp,
on switching on the ignition.
Each
time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
flashes
and the excess
distance
is displayed.
For BlueH
d i d iesel versions, the
spanner
can also come on early,
according the level of deterioration
of
the engine oil. Deterioration of the
engine oil depends on the conditions of
use
of the vehicle.

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).
d
uring 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 CITR
o Ë n 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
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 CITR
o Ë n 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
filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving
conditions:
low
speed,
long
traffic
jams,
...).

Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have your battery checked by a CITROËN
dealer

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to
check
the thickness of the pads, even
between
services.
Unless
there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop
in the brake fluid level indicates
that
the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer
.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
of the system, the parking
brake
should be adjusted, even between
services.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
