Additive level (Diesel with
particle emissions filter)
Topping up
The reser voir must be topped up without delay by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
 Open the bonnet and secure it with the stay.  Open the screenwash reser voir filler cap.  Take and pinch the level gauge to block its breather.  Remove the gauge completely from the reser voir to read the level in the transparent section.  Top up if necessary.  Refit the filler cap to the reser voir and close the bonnet.
Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or replaced by plain water.
According to your version of instrument panel, the additive reser voir low level is indicated by:
- fixed illumination of the particle emissions filter warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message that the particle emissions filter additive level is too low,
or
- fixed illumination of the ser vice warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message that the par ticle emissions filter additive level is too low.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle 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.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide for the details of the level checking inter val for this component.
According to your version of instrument panel, the start of saturation of the particle emissions filter is indicated by:
6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the checking inter val for this component.
- temporary illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message that there is a risk of blockage of the particle emissions filter.
- fixed illumination of the particle emissions filter warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message that there is a risk of blockage of the particle emissions filter,
or
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 lamp
goes off. If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.

Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of splashing).
 Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.  Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug the puncture.  Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and non-slippery ground. Apply the parking brake unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to lock the wheels. Check that the braking warning lamps in the instrument panel are on (not flashing). If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed. The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
 Remove the chromed bolt cover from each of the bolts using the tool 3 (according to
equipment).  Fit the security socket 4 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt.
 Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
* position R for the electronic gearbox system.

Changing dipped beam headlamp bulbs (only on models with halogen headlamps)
 Remove the protective cover by pulling on the tab.  Disconnect the bulb connector.  Spread the springs to release the bulb.  Extract the bulb and change it. To reassemble, carry out these operations in reverse order.
Changing direction indicator bulbs
When refitting, close the protective cover carefully to preser ve the sealing of the headlamp.
Amber coloured bulbs, such as the direction indicators, must be replaced with bulbs of identical specifications and colour.
Rapid flashing of the direction indicator warning lamp (right or left) indicates the failure of a bulb on that side.
Model with Xenon headlamps Remove the protective cover by pulling on its tongue.
 Disconnect the electrical connector.  Separate the springs to release the bulb.  Pull the bulb out and replace it.
To reassemble, carry out these operations in reverse order. Model with halogen headlamps Turn the bulb holder a quar ter of a turn and extract it.  Pull out the bulb and change it. To reassemble, carry out these operations in
reverse order.

269Practical information
 On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.
 On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both vehicles.  Move off gently, drive slowly and for a shor t distance.
Towing your vehicle Towing another vehicle
 Place the gear lever in neutral (position N on the electronic gearbox system). Failure to obser ve this special condition could result in damage to cer tain components (braking, transmission...) and the absence of braking assistance the next time the engine is star ted.
 Unlock the steering by turning the key in the ignition one notch and release the
parking brake.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both vehicles.
 Move off gently, drive slowly and for a shor t distance.

271Practical information
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
 Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.  To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
