Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the maintenance and warranty guide and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctl
y tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the replacement intervals for thesecomponents.
Re
place the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement interval for this component. The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t s
ystem, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop isessential when replacing or disconnecting the
battery. Th
e start of saturation of thepar ticle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multi-
function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lampgoes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particlefilter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment. When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of theprecautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dustyatmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. citydriving), replace them twice as often if necessar y.y
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.

) Uncoil the white pipe G
fully. )
Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
)
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired.
Repair procedure
Avoid removing any foreign bodieswhich have penetrated into the tyre.
)Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.
)Star t the vehicle and leave the engine running.
)Switch off the ignition.
Take care, this product is harmful(e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.Keep this product out of the reach of children.

Do not star t the compressor before connecting the white pipe to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through the pipe.
)Turn the selector Ato the "sealant"
position.)Check that the switch B
is in position "O".

2. Infl ation
)Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I" ; to deflate: 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 qualified
workshop for assistance.
)Remove and stow the kit.)Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled toapproximately 120 miles (200 km).


)Turn the selector Ato the "air" position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel.
) Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.) Star t the vehicle again and leave the engine running.



As soon as possible, go to a CITROËNdealer or a qualified 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.

Checking tyre pressures / inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).
) Connect the compressor's electricalconnector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. )
Star t the vehicle and let the engine run. )
Adjust the pressure using the compressor
(to inflate: switch Bin position "I"; todeflate: switch Bin position "O"
and pressbutton C ), according to the vehicle's tyre
pressure label or the accessory's pressurelabel.) Remove the kit then stow it.


)Turn the selector Ato the "A ir"position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit first.

Battery Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.

The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch, ) secure the bonnet stay, )
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.


Access to the battery

After refitting the battery by aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, the Stop & Start systemwill only be active after a continuous period of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which depends on the climatic conditions and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
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 thebattery. Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of thebattery.

Practical information
When the battery on your vehicle is discharged,
the engine can be star ted using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump leads.

Starting using another
batter
y

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 by connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when theengine is running.
)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 negative terminal C
(or the engine mounting) of the broken-down vehicle.
)
Start the engine of the other vehicle andallow it to run for a few minutes.)
Operate the star ter of the broken-down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not star t immediately, switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.) Wait until the engine returns to idle, then
disconnect the
jump leads in reverse order.


Some functions are not available if the battery is not sufficiently charged.

Protect your eyes and face beforehandling the battery. All operations on the battery must be carried out in a well ventilated areaaway from naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion and fire.Do not try to charge a frozen battery;the battery must first be thawed out toavoid the risk of explosion. If the batteryhas been frozen, before charging haveit checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop who will check thatthe internal components have not been damaged and the casing is not cracked,which could cause a leak of toxic andcorrosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and useonly a 12 V charger. Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running. Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first. Wash your hands after wards.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if you have an electronicgearbox or automatic gearbox.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger

Batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They must bedisposed of in accordance with regulationsand must not, in any circumstances, be discarded with household waste. Ta k e used remote control batteries andvehicle batteries to a special collection point.
)Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.

Do not disconnect the battery to charge it.
