Practical information

201
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a
cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reser voir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a


message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reser voir is refilled.
The next time you stop, have the screenwash/
headlamp wash reser voir topped up.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Level of AdBlue
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR
system, and, in particular, topping up the tank,
refer to the corresponding section.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.

Checks
Unless otherwise 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.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release terminals)
and that the connections are clean.
For more information and the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a
speed of at least
37

mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a

low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
On a

new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Practical information

203
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a
month and before a long
j o u r n ey. The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.

Topping up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top up the fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a


message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® is
topped up as soon as the first alert is
issued indicating that the reser ve level has
been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-

U

se only AdBlue
® liquid that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
-

N

ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-

N

ever dilute AdBlue
® with water. You can obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN
d
ealer or a

qualified workshop.
You can also visit a
petrol station
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles (for those
versions with access to the AdBlue
® tank
via the fuel filler flap).
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should 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 additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never keep containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a
cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. In the event
of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the
eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye
wash solution for at least 15
minutes. If you feel
a

persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (at high temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.
