CHECKS
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
emissions fi lter is indicated by:
-
fi xed illumination of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter warning
lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
that there is a risk of blockage
of the particle emissions fi lter.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and specifi -
cation. The involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-
tial when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst op-
erations of regeneration of the
particle emissions fi lter may be
accompanied by the smell of
"burning", which is perfectly nor-
mal.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in excep-
tional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This
does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to
the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the maintenance and warranty guide
and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the replacement intervals for
these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere)
and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving),
replace
them twice as often if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the replacement interval for
this component.
12 V battery
The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "12 V battery" section for
details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and
following its reconnection.

Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the level checking interval for
this component.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require
any routine servicing. However,
in the event of a problem,
have the system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Manual parking brake
Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products of equiva-
lent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
those in the braking system,
CITROËN selects and offers
very specifi c products.
After washing the vehicle, damp-
ness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can form on the brake discs and
pads: braking effi ciency may be
reduced. Make light brake ap-
plications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be
done by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the details
of the level checking interval
for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).

affi xed to the vehicle's steering
wheel to remind you that a wheel
is in temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) when driving
with a tyre repaired using this
type of kit.
This kit is installed in the storage box,
under the boot fl oor.
A. "Sealant" or "Air" position selector.
B. On
"I" / off "O" switch.
C. Defl ation button.
D. Pressure gauge (in bar and p.s.i.).
E. Compartment housing:
- a cable with adaptor for 12 V
socket,
- various infl ation adaptors for ac-
cessories, such as balls, bicycle
tyres...
Description of the kit
F. Sealant
cartridge.
G. White pipe with cap for repair.
H. Black pipe for infl ation.
I. Speed limit sticker.
Complete system consisting of a com-
pressor and a sealant cartridge which
permits temporary repair of a tyre so
that you can drive to the nearest ga-
rage.
It is designed to repair most punctures
which could affect the tyre, located on
the tyre tread or shoulder.

Avoid removing any foreign bod-
ies which have penetrated into
the tyre.
1. Sealing
Uncoil the white pipe G fully.
Unscrew the cap from the white
pipe.
Connect the white pipe to the valve
of the tyre to be repaired.
Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle and leave the en-
gine running.
Do not start the compressor be-
fore connecting the white pipe to
the tyre valve: the sealant prod-
uct would be expelled through
the pipe.
Take care, this product is harm-
ful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, coloph-
ony...) if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the
reach of children.

Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the under-infl ation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this in-
dicates that the tyre is not repair-
able; contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop for as-
sistance.
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch B to position "I" until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your ve-
hicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the
kit to hand.
Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to plug
the puncture.
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-
slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless
it has been programmed to au-
tomatic mode, switch off the ig-
nition and engage fi rst gear * to
lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning
lamps in the instrument panel
are on (not fl ashing).
The occupants must get out of
the vehicle and wait where they
are safe.
If necessary, place a chock un-
der the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
* position R for an electronic gearbox; P
for an automatic gearbox.
List of operations
Remove the chromed bolt cover from
each of the bolts using the tool
3
(according to equipment).
Fit the security socket
4 on the
wheelbrace 1 to slacken the secu-
rity bolt.
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.
Place the jack 2 in contact with one
of the two front A or rear B locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
Extend the jack 2 until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A
or B used.

loy wheels, when tightening the
bolts on fi tting it is normal to
notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel
or "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, fi rst remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).

SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
If you have to fi t the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a fl at
surface on the side of the road.
Apply the parking brake and posi-
tion any wheel chocks to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
Fit the chains following the instruc-
tions 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 tight-
ened.
The snow chains must be fi tted
only to the front wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-
saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maxi-
mum running speed authorised.
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 fi tting the
snow chains on a level and dry
surface. If your vehicle is fi tted
with alloy wheels, check that no
part of the chain or its fi xings is
in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fi t-
ted to the type of wheel fi tted to your
vehicle:
Original tyre size
Maximum link
size.
195/65 R15

CHANGING A BULB
The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:
do not clean them using a
dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,
use a sponge and soapy wa-
ter or a pH neutral product,
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not keep the lance direct-
ed towards the lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not
to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has
been switched off for a few min-
utes (risk of serious burns).
Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use a lint-
free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to
avoid damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with
a new bulb with the same type
and specifi cation.
