Equipment
SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking. The snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised. Advice on installation

If you have to fit the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.
 Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
 Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
 Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
 Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have been
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging
your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It
is recommended that before you leave, you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain
or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Levels and checks
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.
LEVELS
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Ask for advice at a CITROËN dealer
or consult the maintenance and warranty
guide contained in the handbook pack.
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
If you have to remove/refit the
engine styling cover, handle it
with care to avoid damaging the
fixing clips. Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified in the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice at at
CITROËN dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
When topping-up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps on the instrument panel is
described in the "Ready to go -
Instruments and controls" section.
A
= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.

CHECKS
Levels and checks
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
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.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. 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.

Being towed or towing
TOWING
Towing the vehicle
The removable towing eye is located in the
tool box under the front passenger seat.
Unclip the cover using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Attach the approved towing bar to to the
removable towing eye.
Place the gear lever in neutral.
Towing another vehicle
The fixed towing eye is located on the right
below the bumper.
Attach the approved towing bar onto the
fixed eye.
Failure to observe this requirement
may result in damage to certain
braking components and the lack of some
braking assistance systems when the engine
is re-started.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
