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:
-
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,
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 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.

audible signal and a
message on the screen.The illumination of this warning lamp
is related to a serious fault with the
braking system, the power steering,
the engine oil pressure or the engine
coolant temperature. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, as the engine may
cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Service temporarily,

-

s

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.

coolant
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
pressure fixed.
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

Checks

146
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.

is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol,
colophony...) if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the
cartridge.
After use, do not discard the
cartridge by the roadside, take it to
a CITROËN
dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Don't forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
F
S tart the compressor by placing the switch
at the " I" position and leave it running until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bar.
T

he sealant product is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe
from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing and stains). If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
