CHECKING LEVELS


Take care when working under
the bonnet, as certain areas of
the engine may be extremely hot
(risk of burns) and the cooling
fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).


The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.
It will only 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 be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.


















Oil level


Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for 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.











Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the interval for this
operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, un-
screw the cap 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.
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.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the maintenance and warranty
guide. Top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

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








The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing
that might become caught by the
fan blades.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

CHECKS

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used
oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health or indeed very corro-
sive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised
waste disposal site.









Additive level (Diesel with
particle emissions filter)
The additive reservoir low level is indi-
cated by:

Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-
out delay by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


- fi xed illumination of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter warning
lamp, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
that the particle emissions
fi lter additive level is too low.


Screenwash / headlamp wash
fluid level
Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to
avoid freezing, the fl uid should never be
topped up or replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of a fl uid
with an ethyl alcohol or methanol base
is recommended.
To check the level or top up
the fl uid on vehicle fi tted with
headlamp washers, immobilise
the vehicle and switch of the
engine.



Open the bonnet and secure it with
the stay.


Open the screenwash reservoir fi ll-
er cap.


Take and pinch the level gauge to
block its breather.


Remove the gauge completely from
the reservoir to read the level in the
transparent section.


Top up if necessary.


Refi t the fi ller cap to the reservoir
and close the bonnet.

CHECKS







Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the particle
emissions fi lter is indicated by:


- fi xed illumination of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter warning
lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
that there is a risk of blockage
of the particle emissions fi lter.






The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and specifi -
cation. The involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-
tial when replacing or disconnecting the
battery. On a new vehicle, the fi rst op-
erations of regeneration of the
particle emissions fi lter may
be accompanied by the smell
of "burning", which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in excep-
tional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This
does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment. As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to
the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the maintenance and warranty guide
and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.





















Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the replacement intervals for
these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere)
and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.















Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the replacement interval for
this component.













12 V battery


The battery does not require
any maintenance.

However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "12 V battery" section for
details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and
following its reconnection.


Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.


Start the vehicle again and leave
the engine running.


As soon as possible, go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
You must inform the technician
that you have used this kit. After
inspection, the technician will
advise you on whether the tyre
can be repaired or if it must be
replaced.



Turn the selector A
to the
"air" position.


Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.


Connect the black pipe to
the valve of the wheel.

2. Infl ation




Adjust the pressure using the com-
pressor (to infl ate: switch B
in po-
sition "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a CITROËN dealer or quali-
fi ed workshop for assistance.


Remove and stow the kit.


Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).


Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.






Connect the compressor's electri-
cal connector to the vehicle's 12 V
socket.



according to the vehicle's tyre pres-
sure label or the accessory's pres-
sure label.


Remove the kit then stow it.


Beware of discharges of fl uid.
The expiry date of the fl uid is in-
dicated on the cartridge.

tridge into the environment, take
it to an authorised waste dispos-
al site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new
sealant cartridge, available from
CITROËN dealers or from a
qualifi ed workshop.



Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories

You can also use the compressor, with-
out injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your
tyres,

- infl ate other accessories (balls, bi-
cycle tyres...).





Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.


