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
b
ars, 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,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
b
ecomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
w
ithout delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
t
he legal level.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void 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.

Checking levels
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the
o
il level indicator in the instrument
p
anel for vehicles so equipped, or
u
sing the dipstick.
Engine oil level
Checking using
the dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
It
is normal to top up the oil level between
t
wo services (or oil changes). CITROËN
r
ecommends that you check the level, and top
u
p if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).A = MA X
B = MIN If you find that the level is above the A
mark or
belo
w the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f damage to the engine), contact a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you
m
ust top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, check that the oil is the correct grade for your
e
ngine and conforms to the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations.
Take

and
t
he
cooling
fan
could
start
at
any
time
(
even
with
the

Checks
Particle filter (Diesel)
- fixed illumination of the particle f
ilter warning lamp, accompanied
b
y an audible signal and a
m
essage that there is a risk of
b
lockage of the particle filter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the
Stop
&
Start
system,
indicates
the
use
of
a s
pecific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology
and
specification.
The
involvement
o

a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
i
s
essential
when
replacing
or
disconnecting
t
he
battery. As
soon
as the traffic conditions permit,
r
egenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
l
east
40
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
g
oes
off.
If
the
warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"
Additive
level" section.
Unless
other wise
indicated,
check
these
components
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer's
service
schedule
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 manufacturer's s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement
intervals for these
c
omponents.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine oil is changed.

12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever, check that the terminals are clean a
nd correctly tightened, particularly in summer
a
nd winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions
to be taken before disconnecting
t
he battery and following its reconnection.Depending
on the environment (e.g. dusty a
tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A
clogged passenger compartment filter may
h
ave an adverse effect on the per formance
o
f the air conditioning system and generate
u
ndesirable
o
dours.The start of saturation of the particle filter is
indicated
by:
On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration of the particle filter may be
a
ccompanied by the smell of "burning",
w
hich is per fectly normal.
Following
prolonged operation of the
v
ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you
may, in exceptional circumstances,
n
otice the emission of water vapour at
t
he exhaust on acceleration. This does
n
ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
the environment.
