Operating faults

If the selected transmission mode

display ﬂ ashes, the vehicle switches

automatically

front

“2WD”

transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A .

Do not subject the vehicle to

excessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied to
all four wheels, the condition of the
tyres has a considerable impact on
the performance of the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy
or muddy areas or in other areas in
which the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission

components

under

pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively

uneven terrain (risk of scraping
under the body or of grounding on
crossing a bridge).

Have your vehicle towed on

a ﬂ atbed.
The vehicle must not be towed

with the front or rear wheels on the
ground even if it is in front “2WD”
(2 wheel drive) mode.

If the message “SLOW DOWN” is
displayed on the instrument panel, let
the transmission cool down then wait
for the display to clear before setting off
again.

If “4WD” and “LOCK” are displayed al-
ternately and if “MAINTENANCE RE-
QUIRED” is displayed on the instru-
ment panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a CITROËN dealer without
delay.

CHECKING LEVELS

Brake fluid level

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-

sumption should not exceed 0.5 litre

per 600 miles (1,000 km).

The brake ﬂ uid level should be

between the “MAX” and “MIN”
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.

Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.

Coolant level

The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the “LOW” and “FULL” marks.
When the engine is warm, the

temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are ﬁ tted with a

particle emission ﬁ lter, the fan may

operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.

Wash-wipe and headlamp

wash * fluid

Check the ﬂ uid level regularly,

using the gauge.

* According to country.

Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil speciﬁ cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

The brake ﬂ uid must conform to the

manufacturer’s recommendations and

fulﬁ l the DOT4 standards.

Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.

Fluid speciﬁ cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer’s recommendations.

the vehicle at very low speed or at

idle, you may, exceptionally, notice

the emission of water vapour at the

exhaust on acceleration. This does

not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.

Avoid any prolonged contact of

used oil or ﬂ uids with the skin.

Most of these ﬂ uids are harmful

to health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or ﬂ uids into

sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers
provided for this purpose in the
CITROËN network.

Do not discard the oil ﬁ lter through

public channels, deposit it in the con-
tainers dedicated to this use in the
