Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof
rack, trailer...).
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:
-
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 serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter...)
and observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
has a fault your vehicle becomes polluting;
go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to bring the
levels of nitrous oxide emissions back into
line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.
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.

After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions.
Engine oil condition
If in doubt, check the level with the dipstick. This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with
the 1st, comes on in the instrument
panel when the oil has not been
changed and the deterioration of
the oil has reached another threshold. If this
warning comes on at regular intervals, have the
oil changed as soon as possible. The warning lamp flashing and,
if your vehicle has the function,
a message displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the engine oil.
Have the oil changed as soon as possible.
For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine
speed is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then
1 500 rpm until the oil change is done.
Have the engine oil changed to avoid
any risk of damage.
Servicing information
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising service
information comes on: the screen informs you
when the next service is due, in accordance
with the servicing schedule indicated in
themanufacturer's service schedule. Depending on the engine, the engine oil
level then appears, graduated from 1 (Min)
to 5 (Max).
If no graduation is displayed, the oil level is
too low; you must top-up to avoid damaging
the engine.
For the oil level reading to be accurate, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground, with
the engine off for more than 30 minutes.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
This information is determined in relation
to the distance travelled since the previous
service.

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
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
If you have to remove/refit the engine


styling cover, handle it with care to
avoid damaging the fixing clips.

Warning lamps
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Ask for advice from a CITROËN
dealer or consult the manufacturer's service
schedule contained in the handbook pack.
Checking by means of the warning
lamps on the instrument panel is
described in the "Ready to go -
Instruments and controls" section.
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

cooling system
Check the coolant level regularly,
according to the use made of your
vehicle (every 3 000 miles or 5 000 kms
/
3

months);
if necessary, top-up using coolant
recommended by the manufacturer.
Topping-up the coolant between services is
normal.
The check and top-up must be done with the
engine cold.
A low coolant level presents the risk of
serious damage to your engine. For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding, with a cloth
around the cap, slacken the cap by a quarter
turn to release the pressure. When the
pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top-up the level with coolant.changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Use brake fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4 standard.
The level must be between the MI
n and
MA
x 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. Engine oil grade
When topping-up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified in the manufacturer's
service schedule. Ask for advice from a
CITROËN dealer.
Refill the engine oil using the procedure
described for topping-up.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Levels and checks

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 wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact 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.
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.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. These operations will keep your vehicle
in good running order. Ask for advice
from a CITROËN dealer or refer to the
manufacturer's service schedule included in
the handbook pack.
cHEcKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are given in
the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the
bonnet" section.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's service schedule.
Levels and checks

145
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
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. 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.
diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the
bonnet, close to the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be bled to remove water.
Y

ou can also bleed the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil
is changed.
Bleeding water from the filter

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 the whole system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
Saturation /
r
egeneration
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.
Particle filter system (diesel)
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.
Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls 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. 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.
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.)
