Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.









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 corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl u-
ids 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. The additive reservoir
low level is indicated
by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the multifunction
screen.










Coolant level


The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.






For vehicles fi tted with a particle
emissions fi lter, the cooling fan may
continue to run after stopping the
vehicle, 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.






















Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid


In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next
stop the vehicle.

Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain
water.

version).


- screenwash fl uid: approximately
3.5 litres,

- screenwash and headlamp wash
