Opening the bonnet
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section. Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an
automatic change to START mode.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault in the system,
the indicator light in the "ECO OFF"
button flashes for a moment, then
illuminates continuously.
Have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel
warning lights come on. It is then necessary to
switch the ignition off and to restart the engine
using the key.
The Stop & Start system requires a
12

V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The limiter can under no circumstances
replace respect for speed limits, or the
vigilance of the driver.Steering mounted controls

together on lever A .

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum speed of at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engagement of:
-

F
ourth gear on a manual gearbox.
-
Sec

ond gear on an automatic or electronic
gearbox, in sequential mode,
-
Position A on an electronic gearbox or
position D on an automatic gearbox.
Cruise control is switched off manually or
by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the trajectory control systems for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
Cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
respect speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.Steering mounted controls

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once
it has completely thawed out at ambient
temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided for
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and
so cannot be poured into its tank. Park your
vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to
allow the top-up to be carried out.

F Get a bottle of AdBlue®. After first
checking the use-by date, read carefully
the instructions on use on the label before
pouring the contents of the bottle into your
vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Important: if your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank is
completely empty - which is confirmed by
the alert displays and the impossibility of
starting the engine - you must add at least
3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles). F

fter emptying the bottle, wipe away any
spillage around the tank filler using a damp
cloth.
If any additive is spilt or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.

Once the AdBlue tank has been filled,
make sure that the driver as well as the
passengers exit the vehicle, then lock it.
After a minimum delay of 5 minutes
without opening it, unlock the vehicle and
switch the ignition on without starting.
After a minimum of 10 seconds, start the
vehicle.

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
section.

F

R
e-insert the dipstick and push it fully
down, then pull it out again for a visual
check: the level must be between the two
marks A and B . If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine
.

I
f the level is above the
MA X (A) mark (risk of
damage to the engine),
