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
b
ars, 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,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
b
ecomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
w
ithout delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
t
he legal level.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void 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.

Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the next service is due, in accordance with the
ma
nufacturer's
ser
vice
s
chedule.
The
point at which the service is due is
c
alculated from the last indicator zero reset,
a
ccording to the mileage covered and the time
e
lapsed since the last service.
For
BlueHDi Diesel versions, depending on the
c
ountry of sale, the degree of deterioration of
t
he engine oil may also be taken into account.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears in the screen.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before t
he next service is due.
For
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
t
he screen indicates:
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner s ymbolising t he ser vice o perations c omes o
n. The distance recorder display line indicates the
d
istance remaining before the next service is due.
Example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain before
t
he next service is due.
For
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
s
creen indicates:
5
seconds after the ignition is switched on,
t
he spanner goes off ;
the distance recorder
r
esumes its normal operation. The screen then
i
ndicates the total and trip distances.5
seconds after the ignition is switched on,
t

Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner flashes to indicate that
t
he service must be carried out as soon as
p
ossible.
Example:
the service is overdue by 300 miles.
For
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
t
he screen indicates: Therefore,
the spanner may come on i
f you have exceeded the period since t
he last service, as indicated in the
ma
nufacturer's
ser
vice
s
chedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner
may also come on early,
a
ccording to the level of deterioration
o
f the engine oil, which depends on the
d
riving conditions in which the vehicle
i
s used.
5
seconds after the ignition is switched on,
t
he distance recorder resumes its normal
ope
ration.
T
he spanner remains on .
With BlueHDi Diesel versions, the Service

Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
d
isplayed in the instrument panel for a few
s
econds, after the servicing information.
The
level read will only be correct if
t
he vehicle is on level ground and the
e
ngine has been off for more than
3
0 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the display of the message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
s
creen, accompanied by the service warning
l
amp and an audible signal.
If
the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
t
he dipstick, the level must be topped up to
a
void damage to the engine.
For
more information on Checking levels,
refer
to the corresponding section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel.
Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
In
the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
t
he oil level is no longer monitored.
If
the system is faulty, you must check the
e
ngine oil level using the manual dipstick
l
ocated under the bonnet.
For
more information on Checking levels,
refer
to the corresponding section.
* Depending on version.

E85
type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
a
re reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
f
or the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
v
ehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
c
omply with European standard EN 15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels available at the pumps which meet
c
urrent and future European standards:
-
D

14
214,
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN16734
m
ixed with a biofuel that meets standard
E
N14214 (possibly containing up to 10 %
F
atty Acid Methyl Ester),
-
P
araffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
E
N15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
s
tandard EN14214 (possibly containing up
t
o 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).The
use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard E
N16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.
H
owever, this use, even occasional, requires
strict
application of the special servicing
c
onditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
F
or more information, contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable
or animal oils, pure or diluted,

Checking levels
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).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the
o
il level indicator in the instrument
p
anel for vehicles so equipped, or
u
sing the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
r
emove it completely.
F
W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
n
on-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
p
ull it out again to make the visual check:
t
he correct level is between the marks A
and
B.
It
is
normal
to
top-up
the
oil
level
between
t
wo
services
(or
oil
changes).
CITROËN
r
ecommends
that
you
check
the
level,
and
top-
up
if
necessary,
every
3
000
miles
(5
000
kms).
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.
To
ensure
that
the
reading
is
correct,
y
our
vehicle
must
be
parked
on
a
level
s
ur face
with
the
engine
having
been
off
f
or
more
than
30
minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If
you find that the level is above the A mark or
belo
w the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f damage to the engine), contact a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you
m
ust top-up the engine oil.

Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
Topping-up the engine oil level

Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.
In
order to maintain the reliability of the engine
a
nd emission control system, never use
a
dditives in the engine oil.
After
topping-up the oil, the check when
s
witching on the ignition with the oil
