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...). Preferably use a roof
box.
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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter 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, etc.) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 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 settle
down to a consistent average.

Service indicator
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the degree
of deterioration of the engine oil is also
taken into account (depending on the
country of sale).
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.
More than 1,800 miles (3,000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Between 600 miles (1,000 km) and 1,800 miles
(3,000 km) remain before the next service is due
The spanner symbolising the service
operations illuminates for 5 seconds when the
ignition is switched on. The distance recorder
display line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.
Example: You have 1,700 miles (2,800 km) left
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1,000 km) remain
before the next service is due
Example: You have 560 miles (900 km) left
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the total distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The servicing spanner remains on
as a reminder that a service is required soon.
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last reset of the service
indicator, according to the mileage covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off
; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total distance.

The servicing interval has been exceededFor 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner flashes to indicate that
the service must be carried out as soon as
possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 186 miles
(3 0 0 k m).
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the total distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on .
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this alert
is also accompanied by the continuous
illumination of the Service warning light
when the ignition is switched on. The remaining mileage may be weighted
by time according to the driver’s driving
habits.
The spanner may therefore also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, as indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the spanner
may also come on early, depending on the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
(depending on the country of sale).
The degree of deterioration of the engine
oil depends on the driving conditions in
which the vehicle is used.Resetting the service indicator
The service indicator must be reset after each
service.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
F

S
witch off the ignition.
F

P
ress the trip distance recorder reset
button and keep it pressed.
F

S
witch the ignition on; the distance
recorder display starts a countdown.

elease the button when =0 is displayed;
the spanner disappears.
Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the zero
reset to be taken into account.

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and can be obtained from filling
stations:Petrol that meets the EN228 standard,
mixed with a bio-fuel meeting the
EN15376 standard.
The only petrol additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715001
standard.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and can be obtained from
filling stations: For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system). The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
The use of B20 or B30 fuel that meets
the standard EN16709 is possible
with your Diesel engine. However, this
use, even occasional, requires strict
application of the special servicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions". Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel
that meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing
up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage the engine of your
vehicle.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific sales name…) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
Far any additional information, contact the
dealer.
Compatibility of
fuels
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.

Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Checking levels
Engine oil level
To ensure the accuracy of the reading, your
vehicle must be on a level sur face, with the
engine off for at least 30 minutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
services (or oil changes).
CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and
top up if necessary, every 3,500 miles
(5,000 km). This level is checked using the
dipstick located under the bonnet. To
find this gauge, see the description
of the engine compartment.
Checking using the dipstick
For more information about , and in particular
the dipstick location, refer to the corresponding
