ACCESS
ALARM
System which protects and provides
a deterrent against theft and break-
ins. It provides the following types of
monitoring.

- Exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of
the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to open a door, the boot, the bonnet...



- Interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation
in the volume in the passenger com-
partment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window, enters the pas-
senger compartment or moves in-
side the vehicle.



Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting
out of service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the
central control or the wires of the siren
are put out of service or damaged.

switch warning
lamp fl ashes then comes on con-
tinuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,

essary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.


Maintenance

Operating fault


Before doing anything un-
der the bonnet, deactivate
the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting
from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a 12 V battery
with a special specifi cation and tech-
nology (reference numbers available
from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V
charger and observe the polarity.

The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced
technology. For any work
on the system go to a qualifi ed
workshop with the skills and equip-
ment required, which a CITROËN
dealer is able to provide.

CHECKS






CHECKING LEVELS

















Oil level


Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade
for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the interval for this opera-
tion.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.



The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil lev-
el between two services (or oil
changes). CITROËN recommends
that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.

Take care when working
under the bonnet, as cer-
tain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).












Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid
level should be close to the
"MAX" mark. With the engine
cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.


If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.

Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation. After topping up the oil, the check
when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instru-
ment panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
12 V BATTERY
Procedure for starting the engine
using another battery or for charging
your fl at battery.


The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.







The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of
a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.

After refi tting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the bat-
tery (up to about 8 hours).

*
or position P
for an automatic gear-
box.


Access to the battery

Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: ap-
ply the parking brake, put
the gearbox in neutral * , then switch
off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment
is switched off.


Check that the battery posts and
terminals are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
green deposit), disconnect them
and clean them.

Batteries contain harmful
substances such as sul-
phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in
any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used cell batteries and vehi-
cle batteries to an authorised col-
lection point.
The battery is located under the
bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:


)
Release the bonnet using the
interior lever, then the exterior
safety catch,

)
raise the bonnet and secure it
with its stay,

)
lift the plastic cover for access to
the (+) terminal.
