LEVELS

These regular maintenance  operations will keep your vehicle  in good working order. Ask for  advice from a CITROËN dealer or refer  to the maintenance and warranty guide  in the handbook pack.

 If you have to remove / refit  the engine style cover, handle it with care to avoid damaging the  fixing clips.

Oil level

It is recommended that the oil level be  checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)  and topped up if necessary between oil changes.

Check the level with the vehicle level,  engine cold, using the dipstick.

dipstick

Oil change

This must be carried out at  the intervals specified in the  manufacturer's servicing schedule. 

Ask for advice from a CITROËN dealer.

Remove the dipstick before filling.

Check the level after filling (never  exceed the max mark).

Refit the oil filler cap before closing the  bonnet.

There are two marks on  the dipstick:

A

 = maximum

If you fill past this mark,  contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified  workshop.

B

 = minimum never allow the level to fall below this mark.

To maintain the reliability  of engines and emission  control systems, the use  of additives in engine oil is prohibited.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must  meet the requirements specified in the  manufacturer's service schedule.

changing the brake fluid

The brake fluid must be changed at  the intervals stated, according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Use fluids recommended by the  manufacturer, which meet the DOT4  standard.

The level must be between the MIN  and MAX marks on the reservoir.

If fluid has to be added frequently,  this indicates a fault which must be  checked by a CITROËN dealer or  a qualified workshop as soon as  possible.

Levels

cooling system

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.

Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to  release the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding. When the pressure  has dropped, remove the cap and top  up the level with coolant.

If fluid has to be added frequently,  this indicates a fault which must be  checked by a CITROËN dealer as  soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level  ground with the engine cold. Unscrew  the cap integrated with the gauge and check the level which must be between  the MIN and MAX marks.

Screenwash and headlamp wash level

For best quality cleaning and for your  safety, we would advise that you use products of the CITROËN range.

For optimum cleaning and to avoid  freezing, this fluid must not be topped  up or replaced with plain water.

Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:  approximately 3 litres.

If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp  washers, the capacity of the reservoir is 6 litres.

In order to regenerate the filter, you  are advised to drive at a speed higher than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five  minutes as soon as possible, when  traffic conditions permit (until the  message disappears and the service  warning lamp goes off).

during regeneration of the particle emission filter, the noise of a relay  operating may be heard under the  dashboard.

If the message is still displayed and  if the service warning lamp remains  on, contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop.

topping up

This additive must be topped up by  a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  workshop without delay.

topping up

The level must be between the MIN  and MAX marks on the expansion  bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is  required to top up the level, have the  system checked by a CITROËN dealer  or a qualified workshop.

diesel additive level

(diesel with particle emission filter)

The minimum level of this additive  is indicated by lighting of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an  audible signal and a message in the  screen.

When this occurs with the engine running it is due to the start of saturation of the particle emission filter 

(exceptionally prolonged urban type driving conditions: low speed, long  traffic jams, ...).

Waste products

avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the skin.

Brake fluid is harmful to health and  very corrosive.

Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid  or coolant into drains or into the ground but into the containers dedicated to this use at a CITRoËn dealer (France) or an authorised waste disposal site.

Battery

At the start of summer or winter, have  your battery checked by a CITROËN  dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a  drop in the brake fluid level indicates  that the brake pads are worn.

Brake disc / drum wear

For information on checking the brake  disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN  dealer.

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.

carbon filter and passenger compartment filter

An access flap allows replacement of  the filters.

The carbon filter permits continuous  and effective filtering of dust.

If the passenger compartment filter  becomes blocked, this may reduce the  performance of the air conditioning  system and generate unpleasant  odours.

We recommend the use of a combined  passenger compartment filter. By  means of its second special active  filter, it contributes to the purification  of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic  symptoms, unpleasant odours and  greasy deposits).

Refer to theservicing and warranty booklet for the replacement interval for  these components.

Depending on the environment (dusty  atmosphere...) and the use of the  vehicle (urban driving...), change them  twice as often if necessary.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly in  accordance with the manufacturer's  servicing schedule.

-  Open the fuel filler flap.

-  Insert the key, then turn it a quarter  turn.

-  Remove the cap and hook it onto  the clip located on the inside of the flap.

A label affixed to the inside of the flap  reminds you of the type of fuel to be  used.

You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel  for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.

When the fuel filler cap is opened,  there may be a slight air suction noise. 

This vacuum is entirely normal and is  due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.

When filling the fuel tank, do not  continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.

The capacity of the fuel tank is  approximately 60 litres.

-  After filling the fuel tank, lock the  cap and close the flap.

When filling with fuel, a  mechanical system prevents  opening of the left-hand side door. 

When the fuel filler flap is open, ensure  that no one tries to slide this door.

Once the flap has been closed, the  sliding side door may jam, push the  door to close it then open it.

FOr BLuEHdI dIESEL

EnGInES

To assure respect for the environment  and conformity with the new Euro 6  emissions standard, without adversely  affecting the performance or fuel  consumption of Diesel engines, 

CITROËN has taken the decision to  equip its vehicles with an effective  system that associates SCR (Selective 

Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of exhaust  gases.

Presentation of the Scr system

Using an additive called adBlue ® containing urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides

(nox) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the  environment.

The adBlue ® additive is held in a special tank located under the boot  at the rear of the vehicle. It has a  capacity of 17 litres: this provides a  driving range of about 12 500 miles 

(20 000 km), after which an alert  is triggered warning you when the reserve remaining is enough for just 

1 500 miles (2 400 km).

AdBlue ® additive once the adBlue ®

 tank is empty,  a system required by regulations  prevents starting of the engine.

If the SCR is faulty, the level of emissions from your vehicle will no  longer meet the Euro 6 standard: you  vehicle becomes polluting.

In the event of a confirmed fault  with the SCR system, you must go  to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  workshop as soon as possible: after  a running distance of 650 miles 

(1 100 km), a system will be triggered  automatically to prevent engine  starting.

during each scheduled service of your vehicle by a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop, the AdBlue

® additive tank is refilled in order to allow  normal operation of the SCR system.

If the estimated mileage between  two services is greater than

12 500 miles (20 000 km), we  recommend that you go to a CITROËN  dealer or a qualified workshop to have  the necessary top-up carried out.

nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it may be necessary to  top-up the additive between services, more particularly if an alert (warning  lamps and a message) signals the  requirement.

You can got to a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified workshop.

If you envisage topping-up yourself, please read the following warnings carefully.

Precautions in use

The adBlue ® additive is an urea-based solution. This liquid is non-flammable,  colourless and odourless (kept in a  cool area).

In the event of contact with the skin,  wash the affected area with soap and water. In the event of contact with the  eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye  wash solution for at least 15 minutes. 

If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get medical attention.

If swallowed, immediately wash out the  mouth with clean water and then drink  plenty of water.

In certain conditions (high ambient  temperature, for example), the risk  of release of ammonia cannot be  excluded: do not inhale the product. 

Ammonia vapour has en irritant effect  on mucous membranes (eyes, nose  and throat).
