Familiarisation

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 inthe door aperture, driver's side. Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle toavoid 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 toa consistent average.

StateCauseAction / Observations
Service
on temporarily. A minor fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by means of the associated message, such as:


- opening of a door, the boot or bonnet,

- low engine oil level,

- low screenwash/headlamp wash fluid level,

-
discharged remote control battery,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the par ticle emission filter (PEF) on
Diesel vehicles.
For more information on the PEF, refer to the
"Checks - par ticle emissions filter" section.
For any other faults, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Monitoring
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver whether theengine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a few secondswhen the ignition is switched on, after theservice information.

The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than30 minutes.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by a message in the instrument panel.
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by a message in the instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid damage to the engine.

Oil level indicator fault

This is indicated by a message in the
instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Dipstick

Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the
dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.
There are 2 marks on the dipstick:
-A
= max; never exceed this level,-B
= min; top up the level via
the oil filler, using the grade of oil suited to your engine.

Repair procedure

Avoid removing any foreign bodieswhich have penetrated into the tyre.
)
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.

)Switch off the ignition.
)Turn the selector A
to the "sealant"position.)Check that the switch B
is in position "O".
)
Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket. ) Star t the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
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 beexpelled through the pipe.

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...).
)Turn the selector A
to 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.

)
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 pressure label.) Remove the kit then stow it.


Should the pressure of one or moretyres be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise the tyre pressures (see the "Under-inflation detection" section).

Checks
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to Europeanstandards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol mustcomply with European standard EN 15293.
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current andfuture European standards (Diesel fuel whichcomplies with standard EN 590 mixed with abiofuel which complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up to 7 %Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer tain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special ser vicing conditions.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
