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   in   the   personalised   servicing   schedule   for   your   vehicle.
With
  a   BlueHDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   develops   a   fault,  
y

our   vehicle   becomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   without   delay   to   have   the   emissions   of   nitrous   oxides   brought  
w

ithin   the   limits   set   by   the   directive.
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.

Engine oil level
indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator,  the   state   of   the   engine   oil   level  
i

s   displayed   in   the   instrument   panel   for   a  
f

ew seconds,   after   the   servicing   information.
The level read will only be correct if
the
  vehicle   is   on   level   ground   and   the  
e

ngine   has   been   off   for   more   than  
3

0 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the display of the message "Oil   level   incorrect"   in   the   instrument   panel  
s

creen,   accompanied   by   the   service   warning  
l

amp   and   an   audible   signal.
If
  the   low   oil   level   is   confirmed   by   a   check   using  
t

he   dipstick,   the   level   must   be   topped   up   to  
a

void   damage   to   the   engine.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil   level   measurement   invalid"   in   the  
in

strument
 pan
el.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
For more information on checking the   levels,   refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
*
 
Depending
 
on
 
version. In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the
  oil   level   is   no   longer   monitored.
If   the   system   is   faulty,   you   must   check   the  
e

ngine   oil   level   using   the   manual   dipstick  
l

ocated   under   the   bonnet.
For   more   information   on   checking   the   levels,

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet,   as   certain   areas   of   the   engine  
m

ay   be   extremely   hot   (risk   of   burns)  
a

nd   the   cooling   fan   could   start   at   any  
t

ime   (even   with   the   ignition   off).
Engine oil level
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.
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.
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.
A = MA X
B = MIN
To
  ensure   that   the   reading   is   correct,  
y

our   vehicle   must   be   parked   on   a   level  
s

ur face   with   the   engine   having   been   off  
f

or   more   than   30   minutes.
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).The
  location   of   the   dipstick   is   shown   in   the

and B .
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, c

12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever,   check   regularly   that   the   terminals  
a

re   correctly   tightened   (versions   without   quick  
r

elease   terminals)   and   that   the   connections  
a

re   clean.Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the
replacement
  intervals   for   these  
c

omponents.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice schedule for details of
the
  replacement   interval   for   this  
c

omponent.
Oil filter
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
O ther wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
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

dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by the

l

amp   accompanied   by   a   warning

If
 
the
