Practical information

ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped

with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.

It is normal to top up the oil level between two

services (or oil changes). It is recommended

that you check the level, and top up if necessary,

every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emissions control system,

never use additives in the engine oil.

Checking using the dipstick

For the location of the dipstick, please refer

to the illustration of the corresponding engine

compartment.

► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,

lint-free cloth.

► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,

then pull it out again to visually check the oil

level: the correct level is between marks

A (max)

and

B (min).

Do not start the engine if the level is:

– above mark

A

: contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

– below mark

B

: top up the engine oil

immediately.

Oil grade

Before topping up or changing the

engine oil, check that the oil is suitable

for your engine and complies with the

recommendations in the service schedule

supplied with the vehicle (or available from

your CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop).

Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate

your warranty in the event of engine failure.

Topping up the engine oil level

For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please

refer to the corresponding engine compartment

illustration.

► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills

on engine components (risk of fire).

► Wait a few minutes before checking the level

again using the dipstick.

► Top up the level if necessary.

► After checking the level, carefully screw the

oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in

its tube.

The oil level indication displayed on the

instrument panel when the ignition is

switched on is not valid for 30 minutes

following an addition of oil.

Brake fluid

The level of this fluid should be

close to

the "

MAX

" mark. If not, check the brake

pads for wear.

To know how often the brake fluid should be

replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing

schedule.

Clean the cap before removing it to refill.

Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed

container.

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 level of coolant that is too low risks causing

major damage to the engine; the coolant level

must be close to the "

MAX

" mark without ever

going above it.

If the level is close to or below the "

MIN

" mark, it

is essential to top it up.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the

coolant 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.

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.

195

Practical information

7

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap

and top up to the required level.

Vehicle with electric motor

Do not top up the coolant.

If the level is close to or below

the "

MIN

" mark, it is essential to contact a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Screenwash fluid

Top up to the required level when

necessary.

Capacity of the tank:

– 5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.

– 2.2 litres for other versions.

Fluid specification

The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed

product.

In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid

containing an anti-freeze agent which is

appropriate for the temperature conditions

must be used in order to protect the system's

components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).

Filling with pure water is prohibited in all

circumstances (risk of freezing,

limescale, etc.).

Diesel fuel additive (Diesel

with particle filter)

On reaching the minimum level in

the particle filter additive tank, one

of these warning lamps comes on fixed,

accompanied by an audible signal and a warning

message.

Topping up

The topping up of this additive must be carried

out quickly.

Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

AdBlue

®

(BlueHDi)

An alert is triggered when the reserve level is

reached.

For more information on the

Indicators

and in

particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to

the corresponding section.

To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in

accordance with regulations, you must top up the

AdBlue tank.

For more information on

AdBlue

®

(BlueHDi)

,

and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to

the corresponding section.

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the

manufacturer's service schedule and according

to your engine.

Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Only use products recommended by

CITROËN or products of equivalent

quality and specification.

In order to optimise the operation of

components as important as those in the

braking system, CITROËN selects and offers

very specific products.

12 V battery

The battery does not require any

maintenance.

Check regularly that the terminals are correctly

tightened (versions without quick-release

terminals) and that the connections are clean.

For more information on the precautions

to take before any work on the

12 V

battery

, refer to the corresponding section.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are

fitted

with a 12 V lead-acid battery with

special technology and specifications.

Its replacement should be carried out only by

a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information

Passenger compartment

filter

Depending on the environment and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,

city driving),

change it twice as often, if

necessary

.

A clogged passenger compartment filter

can adversely affect air conditioning

system performance and generate

undesirable odours.

Air filter

Depending on the environment and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,

city driving),

change it twice as often, if

necessary

.

Oil filter

Change the oil filter each time the

engine

oil is changed.

Particle filter (Diesel)

/

The start of clogging of the

particle filter is indicated by the

temporary lighting of this warning lamp,

accompanied by an alert message.

As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate

the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37 mph

(60 km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500

rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp

goes out).

If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h),

leave the engine running at idle for about 15

minutes, then drive with an engine speed above

2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.

Do not switch off the engine until the filter

is fully regenerated; repeated intervals

can degrade the engine oil prematurely.

Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is

stationary is not recommended.

If the warning lamp stays on, this

indicates a low Diesel additive level.

For more information on

Checking levels

,

refer to the corresponding section.

Following prolonged operation of the

vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you

may, in exceptional circumstances, notice

water vapour coming from the exhaust while

accelerating. These emissions have no

impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the

environment.

New vehicle

During the first few particle filter

regeneration operations, you may notice a

"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any

maintenance (no oil change).

Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any

maintenance (no oil change).

Drive selector

The drive selector does not require any

maintenance.

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 fluid level indicates that the brake pads

are worn.

After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in

wintry conditions, ice can form on the

brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may

be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and

defrost them.

Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake disc

wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Manual parking brake

If you notice excessive brake lever travel

or decreased effectiveness, the parking

197

Practical information

7

brake must be adjusted, even between two

services.

This system must be checked by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Electric parking brake

This system does not require any routine

servicing. However, in the event of a

problem, do not hesitate to have the system

checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

For more information on the

Electric

parking brake

, refer to the

corresponding section.

Wheels and tyres

The inflation pressure of all

tyres,

including the spare wheel, must be

checked on "cold” tyres.

The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure

label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven

for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles

(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add

0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the

label.

Under-inflation increases energy

consumption. Non-compliant tyre

pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely

and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's

road holding - risk of accident!

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the

braking and road holding performance of the

vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the

tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as

the presence of the valve caps.

When the wear indicators no longer appear set

back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is

less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as

possible.

Using different size wheels and tyres from those

specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel

rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

reading and have an adverse effect on road

holding.

Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles

can cause the ESC to mistime.

Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres

that will be stored when fitting winter or summer

tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away

from direct exposure to the sun's rays.

Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be

identified by this symbol on their

sidewalls.

AdBlue

®

(BlueHDi)

To respect the environment and ensure

compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without

adversely affecting the performance or fuel

consumption of its Diesel engines, CITROËN

has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with

a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic

Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for

the treatment of exhaust gases.

SCR system

Using a liquid called AdBlue

®

that contains

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of

the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and

water, which are harmless to health and the

environment.

The AdBlue

®

is contained in

a special

tank

holding about 17 litres.

Its capacity allows a driving range of

approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km) (

which

may vary considerably

depending on your

driving style and the vehicle). An alert system

is automatically triggered when the remaining

range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400 km), i.e. once

the reserve level has been reached.

Several alerts are triggered successively during

the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400 km) until the

tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.

For more information on the

Warning

and indicator lamps

and the associated

alerts, or the

Indicators

, please refer to the

corresponding sections.

Once the AdBlue

®

tank is empty, a device

required by law prevents the engine from

being restarted.

If the SCR system is faulty, the level of

emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet

198

Practical information

the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts

polluting the environment.

In the event of a confirmed SCR system

malfunction, it is essential to visit a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as

possible. After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device

is automatically activated to prevent the

engine from starting.

In both cases, a range indicator indicates

the distance that can be travelled before the

vehicle is immobilised.

Freezing of the AdBlue

®

AdBlue

®

freezes at temperatures below

around -11°C.

The SCR system includes a heater for the

AdBlue

®

tank, allowing you to continue driving

in very cold conditions.

Supply of AdBlue

®

It is recommended that the AdBlue

®

be topped

up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating

that the reserve level has been reached.

For the correct operation of the SCR

system:

– Use only AdBlue

®

fluid that meets the ISO

22241 standard.

– Never transfer AdBlue

®

to another container

as it would lose its purity.

– Never dilute AdBlue

®

with water.

You can obtain AdBlue

®

from a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop, as well as service

stations equipped with AdBlue

®

pumps specially

designed for passenger vehicles.

Never top up from an AdBlue

®

dispenser

reserved for heavy goods vehicles.

Recommendations on storage

AdBlue

®

freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates

above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a

cool area and protected from direct sunlight.

Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for

at least a year.

If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has

completely thawed out at room temperature.

Never store AdBlue

®

containers in your

vehicle.

Precautions for use

AdBlue

®

is a urea-based

solution. This fluid is

non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when

kept in a cool place).

In the event of contact with the skin, wash the

affected area with soap and running water. In the

event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse

the eyes with large amounts of water or with an

eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek

medical attention if you feel a persistent burning

sensation or irritation.

If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth

with clean water and then drink plenty of water.

In certain conditions (high temperature, for

example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot

be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia

vapours have an irritant effect on mucous

membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Store AdBlue

®

out of the reach of

children, in its original container.

Procedure

Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that

the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.

In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature

of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the

AdBlue

®

may be frozen and so cannot be poured

into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area

for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried

out.

Never pour the AdBlue

®

into the Diesel

fuel tank.

If any AdBlue

®

is splashed, or if there are

any spillages on the bodywork, rinse

immediately with cold water or wipe with a

damp cloth.

If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a

sponge and hot water.

Important:

in the event of a top-up after

a breakdown because of a lack of

®

tank:

– Add between 10 and 13 litres using

AdBlue

®

containers.

– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-

out, if you are refilling at a service station.

The system only registers AdBlue

®

top-ups of

5 litres or more.

If the AdBlue

®

tank is completely empty

– which is confirmed by the message

“

Advice on care and

maintenance

General recommendations

Observe the following recommendations to avoid

damaging the vehicle.

Exterior

Never use a high-pressure jet wash in

the engine compartment - risk of

damaging the electrical components!

Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or

extremely cold conditions.

When washing the vehicle in an

automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure

to lock the doors and, depending on version,

move the electronic key away.

When using a pressure washer, keep the jet

nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from

the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas

containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).

Promptly clean up any stains containing

chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's

paintwork (including tree resin, bird

droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).

Depending on the environment, clean the

vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits

(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)

and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These

substances can be highly corrosive.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop for advice on removing stubborn

stains requiring special products (such as tar

or insect removers).

Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

bottle.

After use, do not discard the bottle into the

environment; take it to a CITROËN dealer or

an authorised waste disposal site.

Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of

sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

► Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles

(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between

12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)) to plug the

puncture.

► Stop to check the repair

and the tyre

pressure

using the kit.

With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,

do not exceed a speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h) and do not drive more than

50 miles (80 km).

You must contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop to have the repair checked

and the tyre changed.

Checking/adjusting tyre

pressures

The compressor can be used,

without injecting

sealant

, to check and, if necessary, adjust the

tyre pressures.

► Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep

it in a clean place.

► Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.

► Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten

firmly.

► Check that the compressor switch is in

position "

O

".

► Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under

the compressor.

► Connect the compressor's electric plug to the

vehicle's 12 V socket.

► Switch the ignition on.

► Start the compressor by placing the switch at

position "

I

" and adjust the pressure to the value

shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To

deflate: press the black button located on the

compressor pipe, near the valve connection.

If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is

not reached, the tyre is damaged;

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop for assistance.

► Once the correct pressure is reached, put the

switch in position "

O

".

► Remove the kit and stow it.

► Refit the cap on the valve.

Changing a bulb

In some weather conditions (e.g. low

temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear

after the lamps have been on for a few

minutes.

The headlamps have polycarbonate

lenses with a protective coating:

–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive

cloth, nor with detergent or solvent

products.

– Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH

neutral product.

– When using a high-pressure washer on

persistent marks, do not keep the lance

directed towards the headlamps, lamps or

their edges for too long, so as not to damage

their protective coating and seals.

Changing a bulb must only be done with

the ignition off and after the headlamp /

lamp has been switched off for several

minutes - risk of serious burns!

Do not touch the bulb directly with your

fingers; use a lint-free cloth.

It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet

(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the

headlamp.
