Familiarisation
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe 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 inpreference.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 aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- 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 onany trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the
schedule of operations recommended by themanufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

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 settledown to a consistent average.

Practical information

Removing the cartridge
)Stow the black pipe. )Detach the angled base from the white pipe.)Suppor t the compressor ver tically.)Unscrew the car tridge from the bottom.


Beware of discharges of fluid.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the car tridge.
The sealant car tridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, itmust be replaced. After use, do not discard the car tridgeinto the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealantcartridge, available from CITROËN dealers or from a qualified workshop.

Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, withoutinjecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).

)
Turn the selector Ato the "Air"
position.
) Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.)
Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptorssupplied with the kit first.
) Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. )
Star t the vehicle and let the engine run. )
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
; to deflate: switch B
in position "O"and press button C), according to the vehicle's tyrepressure label or the accessory's pressure
label. ) Remove the kit then stow it.

Checks






Checking levels
Oil level
The check of the oil level is carried
out with the dipstick, located under
the bonnet. For the position o
f the dipstick, refer
to the description of your engine compar tment in this section.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details of theinterval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your
en
gine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.



Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could star t at any time (even with the ignition off).

If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
It is normal to top up the oil levelbetween two ser vices (or oil changes).CITROËN recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every3 000 miles (5 000 km). This check will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is
on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A= maximum
If you fill past this mark, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.B= minimum
Never allow the level to fall below this mark.

Checks

Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary. Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to anauthorised waste disposal site.








Used products
To p p i ng up
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination
of the ser vice warning lamp, accompaniedby an audible warning and a message in the screen.

Checks






Checks

The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctl
y tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
Par ticle emissions filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of thepar ticle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message in the screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lampgoes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particlefilter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicin
g booklet and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for these components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time theengine oil is changed.
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter val for
this component. When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following itsreconnection. Dependin
g on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary.y A clogged passenger compar tment filter may
have an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generateundesirable odours.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the level checkin

for this component. Brake wear depends on the st
yleof driving, par ticularly in the caseof vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system isnoticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two ser vices.















Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, CITROËN selects and offers very specific products.
Checking this system must be done by aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
