- low screenwash/headlamp wash fluid level,

-
discharged remote control battery,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the par ticle emission filter (PEF) on

The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification;the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.

After refitting the battery, the Stop & Start system will only be active after acontinuous period of immobilisation of thevehicle, a period which depends on theclimatic conditions and the state of chargeof the battery (up to about 8 hours).
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be star ted using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump leadcables.
Starting using another
batter
y
) Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.) Connect one end of the green or blackcable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B
(or ear th point on the other
vehicle).) Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the ear th point Con the broken
down vehicle (or on the engine mounting). ) Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few minutes.


First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery. Do not try to star t the engine byconnecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.
Before doing any work

Checks






Checking levels


Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremelyhot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could star t at any time (even with the ignition off).
Oil level

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using theoil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guidefor details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Oil specifi cation

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.
Check all of these levels re
gularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick

There are two marks on the dipstick:
A= maximum
If you fill past this mark, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. B= minimum
Top up the level through the
oil filler orifice, using thecorrect grade of oil for your engine. The level must never be below this mark.
It will onl
y be correct 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 level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËNrecommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
durin
g the 30 minutes after topping up.
