Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the
associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the
following warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver.

Low fuel levelfixed. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or
48 litres (Diesel); depending on version: approximately
30 litres (petrol or Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

temperature fixed.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop.
Engine oil

There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter) Used products
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. 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 an
authorised waste disposal site.
The additive reservoir low
level is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
multifunction screen.

Driving advice
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind. F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care. Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
