Changing a fuse

CHANGING A FUSE

The two fuseboxes are placed on the
dashboard on the driver's side and under the
bonnet.

Removing and fitting a fuse

Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
fault must be found and rectified. The fuse
numbers are indicated on the fusebox.
Always use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament.

Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
If a fuse fails again soon after replacement,
have the electrical system of your vehicle
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Access to fuses in the dashboard


- To gain access to the dashboard fuses,
remove the 2 screws using the ignition
key and tilt the housing.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility
for the cost incurred in repairing your
vehicle or for rectifying the malfunctions
resulting from the installation of accessories
not supplied and not recommended by
CITROËN dealers and not installed in
accordance with its instructions, in particular
when the combined consumption of all of
the additional equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes.

A.
Good.

B.
Failed.

C.
Tweezer.


Access to fuses in the engine compartment


- For access to the fuses in the engine
compartment, remove the left hand front
headlamp connector, then unclip the
fusebox cover.

Checks







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
interval for this component.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the maintenance and
warranty guide which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes.






Particle filter system (1.3 HDi 75)

An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
This filter, fitted to the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
control unit manages the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena -
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature - which does not affect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment.
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.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the
particle filter is starting to fill up (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 and the law permit, at a speed
of at least 40 mph (around 60 km/h), with
an engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about
fifteen minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It
is not recommended to end regeneration of
the filter with the vehicle stationary.

Operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust/particle filter system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.








Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the checking interval for
this component.
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire.
