Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise their
fuel consumption and CO
2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up promptly. While accelerating, change
up early.
The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to
engage the most suitable gear: whenever this
indication is displayed on the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal and
press the accelerator gradually. These attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO
2 emissions and
decrease general traffic noise.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds
above 19 mph (30 km/h) when traffic is flowing
smoothly.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment
is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows
and air vents before using the air conditioning.
At speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open. Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down.
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions,
if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when
the visibility conditions do not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving
the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
minimise wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit
summer tyres.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on
the 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.
Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil,
oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter,
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible to restore your vehicle’s
nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory
compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your
new vehicle settle down to a consistent average
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

Indicators
Service 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 the manufacturer's service
schedule.


This information is determined in relation to the
distance travelled since the previous service.
Engine oil level
Depending on the engine, the engine oil level is
then displayed, on a scale of 1 (Min) to 5 (Max).
If no scale is displayed, the oil level is
insufficient; it is essential to top it up to prevent
engine damage.
For the measurement of this level to be valid, the
vehicle must be parked on horizontal ground,
with the engine having been off for more than 30
minutes.
If in doubt, check the oil level using the
dipstick.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.


After a few seconds, the display returns to its
standard functions.
Engine oil quality
This warning lamp flashes and, if your vehicle is equipped with this function, a
message is displayed at each start: the system
has detected a deterioration of the engine oil. It
is essential to change the oil as soon as
possible.
This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with the
1st, lights up on the instrument panel if the
oil change has not been carried out, and the
degradation of the oil has exceeded a new
threshold. If this warning lamp comes on at

11
Instruments
1regular intervals, the oil has to be changed as
soon as possible.
For 3.0 L HDi engines, the engine speed
is then limited to 3,000 rpm, then 1,500
rpm until the oil is changed. Change the
engine oil to prevent damage.
Resetting the service
indicator
A qualified workshop, equipped with the
diagnostic tool, will stop the permanent flashing
of the warning lamp after each service.
If you have serviced the vehicle yourself, reset
the service indicator as follows:
► Insert the key into the ignition switch.
► Turn it to the MAR - ON position.
► Simultaneously depress the brake and
accelerator pedals for more than 15 seconds.
Refer to the checklist in the
manufacturer's service schedule
provided on delivery of the vehicle.
Reminder of the servicing
information
To access the service indications at any
time, briefly press the MODE button.
Use the up/down arrows to view service intervals
and engine oil quality.
Pressing the MODE button again allows you to
return to the various display menus.
A long press allows you to return to the home
screen.

Coolant temperature

If the needle is positioned between C (Cold)
and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to the red
graduations.
If the needle enters the red zone or if the
warning lamp lights up:
► stop immediately, turn the ignition off. The
cooling fan may continue to run for a while, up to
approximately 10 minutes.
► wait for the engine to cool down to check the
level and if necessary, top it up.
In case of topping up
Be careful, the cooling circuit is under pressure!
To avoid any risk of burns, take a cloth and
unscrew the cap two turns to relieve the
pressure.
When the pressure has dropped, check the level
and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Practical information
7Topping up the engine oil level

► Remove the dipstick before topping up.
► Recover the oil filler neck.
► Unscrew the filler cap.
► Install the oil filler neck in the filler hole.
► Top up with oil.
► Remove the oil filler neck from the filler hole.
► Replace the filler cap.
► Replace the dipstick.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold, by reading the level on the filler
neck.
Unscrew the cap secured to the dipstick. To
access the reservoir cap, remove the protective
cover by turning its three fixing screws a quarter
turn, then remove the second cover placed on
the cap.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to
the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN” mark, it
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.


To gain access to the tank cap, remove the
protective cover by turning its three fixing screws
a quarter of a turn.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Check the coolant level regularly
according to the use of your vehicle
(every 3,000 miles (5,000 km) / 3 months).

Special features

– Never work under a tipper body that is not
supported,
– Switch off the power supply to the electro-
hydraulic unit using the circuit breaker,
– Vehicle stationary, engine off.
For safety reasons, we very strongly
advise against doing anything under the
tipper body while it is being operated or while
it is being serviced.
Maintenance
Reservoir
Regularly check and top up the engine oil level.
Change the oil once a year. If the oil contains
water, change it.
Regularly check the condition of the hose and
ensure the hydraulic system is properly sealed.
Pump and motor
No servicing required. The rolling elements are
permanently lubricated and the bearings are
lubricated by the pumped oil.
Lubrication
The pins of the tipper truck and the ram do not
contain lubricant. Regularly lubricate the hinges
and the grab handles of the side boards as well
as the retaining hooks of the rear board.
Sub-frame and tipper truck
For maximum service life, you are advised to
maintain your tipper truck by regularly washing it
using a power washer.
Carry out any required paint touch-ups quickly to
prevent the spread of rust.
After 8 months of use, check the tightening torque of the connection
between the chassis and the underbody (in
accordance with the manufacturer's
bodybuilding recommendations).
Cleaning the slide valve
► Loosen cap 244A, taking care with the ball
and retrieving it.
► Using a wide screwdriver, unscrew the banjo
bolt/piston assembly.
► Check that the piston slides freely and
remove any foreign bodies. Use a magnet to
remove any metal filings.
► Refit the assembly and make sure that the
piston slides freely. Retain the ball with a little
grease on the cap for refitting.
► Bleed the hydraulic unit.
Bleeding the hydraulic unit
► Unscrew hexagonal cap 257.
► Loosen internal screw 587 by half a turn,
using a 6 mm hex key.
► Operate the unit for a few seconds by
pressing the raise button.
The tipper truck does not rise or rises very
slowly. When the oil exits through this opening,
the unit is bled.
► Retighten screw 587 and replace cap 257.
Check that the tipper truck lowers correctly.
