vides 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

volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a
window, enters the passenger compart-
ment or moves inside the vehicle.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Do not cover the rain sensor,
linked with the sunshine sensor
and located in the centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view
mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain
sensitive wipers when using an
automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait
until the windscreen is completely
clear of ice before activating the
automatic rain sensitive wipers.
The automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers must be re-
activated if the ignition has been
off for more than one minute.
Briefl y push stalk A

by gauge in the reservoir fi ller neck un-
der the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fl uid can
only be done when stationary with the
engine off.
The driver should check the level of this
fl uid regularly, particularly during winter.

Maintenance
In the event of a malfunction with the
system, the "ECO OFF"
switch warn-
ing lamp fl ashes, then comes on con-
tinuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Operating fault
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop &
Start system to avoid any risk of
injury resulting from automatic
operation of START mode.
This system requires a specifi c battery
with a special specifi cation and techno-
logy (reference numbers available from
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done only by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP
mode, the vehicle may stall. All
of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on.
Depending on version, an alert
message may also be displayed
asking you to put the gear lever
into position N
and put your foot
on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off
the ignition, then restart the en-
gine using the key.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).
The reading will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services. CITROËN recommends that
you check the oil level, and top up if neces-
sary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for 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 correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for the
interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with
the engine cold, to check the
level.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate after the vehicle has been switched
off, even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
