Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last service indicator reset
to zero, according to the mileage covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, depending
on the country of sale, the degree of
deterioration of the engine oil may also
be taken into account.

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. 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.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top-up the engine oil.
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more than
30
m
inutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level 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).

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals are
correctly tightened (versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (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 filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the replacement interval for this
component.

Particle filter system (Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic converter,
this filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by trapping unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are
thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence to the
running of the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of blockage, a message
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is approaching saturation (in conditions
of urban driving of exceptionally long
duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions permit, at a speed of 40 mph
(around 60 km/h) or more for at least
five minutes (until the alert message
disappears).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

AdBlue® and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines, CITROËN has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with an effective system that
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment. The AdBlue
® is held in a special tank with
a capacity of about 17 litres: this provides
a driving range of about 12 500 miles
(20
000
km). An alert is triggered automatically
to warn you when the reserve level is
reached: you can then drive about 1 500 miles
(2
400
km) before the tank is empty.
During each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage of your vehicle
between two services is greater than
12
500
miles (20 000 km), it will be necessary
to top-up the AdBlue
®. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
s
ystem required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR
system is faulty, the level
of emissions from your vehicle will no
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your
vehicle becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault
with the SCR system, you must go
to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible: after
a running distance of 650 miles
(1
100 km), a system will be triggered
automatically to prevent engine starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives
you the distance you can travel before
the vehicle is immobilised.
