Levels

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 change

Changing the brake fluid

Oil level

This must be carried out at

the intervals speciﬁed in the

The brake ﬂuid must be changed at

the intervals stated, according to the

manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask manufacturer's servicing schedule.

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.

for advice from a CITROËN dealer.

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.

Remove the dipstick before ﬁlling.

Check the level after ﬁlling (never

exceed the max mark).

Reﬁt the oil ﬁller cap before closing the

bonnet.

Dipstick

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

Warning lamps

In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the requirements speciﬁed in the

manufacturer's service schedule.

Checks using the warning

lamps in the instrument panel

is described in chapter 3,

"Instruments and controls"

section.

7

Levels

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.

Cooling system

Power steering fluid level

Only use the ﬂuid recommended by the The vehicle must be parked on level

Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging

your engine.

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.

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.

Screenwash 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.

If the message is still displayed and

if the service warning lamp remains

on, contact a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

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.

Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:

approximately 3 litres.

Topping up

This additive must be topped up by

a CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop without delay.

Diesel additive level

(Diesel with particle

filter)

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.

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.

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 ﬁlter

(exceptionally prolonged urban type

driving conditions: low speed, long

trafﬁc jams, ...).

Checks

CHECKS

Battery

At the start of summer or winter, have

your battery checked by a CITROËN

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter

Brake pads

An access ﬂap allows replacement of

the ﬁlters.

The carbon ﬁlter permits continuous

and effective ﬁltering of dust.

Depending on the environment (dusty

atmosphere...) and the use of the

vehicle (urban driving...), change them

twice as often if necessary.

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.

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).

Oil filter

Change the ﬁlter regularly in

accordance with the manufacturer's

servicing schedule.

Brake disc / drum wear

Particle filter (Diesel)

For information on checking the brake

disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN

dealer.

Maintenance of the particle ﬁlter must

be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.

On acceleration after the vehicle has

been running for a prolonged period

at very low speed or at idle, you may,

in exceptional circumstances, notice

the emission of water vapour at the

exhaust. This water vapour does not

have any adverse effect on vehicle

handling or the environment.

Parking brake

Refer to theservicing and warranty

booklet for the replacement interval for

these components.

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.

7

Checks

Bleeding water from the Diesel

filter

Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with

the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

If this warning lamp comes

on, bleed the ﬁlter. Otherwise

bleed regularly each time the

engine oil is changed.

Good practice

Only use products recommended by

CITROËN or products of equivalent

quality and speciﬁcation.

In order to optimise the operation

of units as important as the braking

system, CITROËN selects and offers

speciﬁc products.

To drain the water, unscrew the bleed

screw located on the ﬁlter.

Operate until all of the water no longer

ﬂows in the transparent pipe, then

tighten the bleed screw.

HDi engines use advanced

technology. All work requires

special training, so should be

entrusted to a CITROËN dealer.

In order to avoid damaging the

electrical units, we strongly

advise you not to use high

pressure washing to clean the engine

compartment.

Depending on country of sale.

After washing the vehicle dampness,

or in winter, ice may form on the brake

discs and pads: braking efﬁciency may

be reduced. Make some light brake

applications to dry and de-ice the

brakes.

Fuel

Filling

The fuel tank must be ﬁlled with the

engine off.

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.

-

Open the fuel ﬁller ﬂap.

Insert the key, then turn it a quarter

turn.

Once the ﬂap has been closed, the

sliding side door may jam, push the

door to close it then open it.

-

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 inrush of air. This

vacuum is entirely normal and is due to

the sealing of the fuel system.

When ﬁlling the fuel tank, do not

continue after the 3^rdcut-off of the

nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.

The capacity of the fuel tank is

approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres

according to version).

REFUELLING

Low fuel level

-

After ﬁlling the fuel tank, lock the

cap and close the ﬂap.

When the low fuel level is

reached, this warning lamp

comes on.

You then have approximately 8 litres

of fuel remaining.

Fill up without delay to avoid running

out of fuel.

Never risk driving until you run out of

fuel as this may damage the emissions

control and injection systems.

7

Fuel

The use of B20 or B30 fuel

meeting standard EN16709

is possible in your Diesel

engine. However, this use,

even occasional, requires

strict application of the

special servicing conditions

referred to as "Arduous

conditions".

Fuel used for petrol engines

AdBlue^®

FUEL CUT-OFF

DIESEL PRIMING

PUMP

In a serious collision, a mechanism

automatically prevents fuel from

reaching the engine.

If you run out of fuel, it is necessary to

prime the fuel circuit.

Other HDi engines

Fill the fuel tank with at least ﬁve

litres of Diesel.

The ﬂashing of this warning

lamp is accompanied by a

message in the screen.

-

Squeeze and release the manual

priming pump, under the bonnet,

under the protective cover.

Check that there is no odour or

leakage of fuel outside the vehicle and

re-establish the fuel supply:

-

Operate the starter until the engine

starts.

-

switch off the ignition

(STOP position),

remove the key,

-

put the key back in the ignition,

switch on the ignition and start.

BlueHDi engine

-

Fill the fuel tank with at least ﬁve

litres of Diesel.

Switch on the ignition (without

starting the engine).

Wait around 6 seconds and switch

off the ignition.

-

Repeat the operation 10 times.

Operate the starter to run the

engine.

7

AdBlue^®

SCR technology

The aim of BlueHDi is to reduce the

emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in

the air by up to 90%, using a system

that converts NOx into water vapour

and nitrogen in a dedicated catalytic

converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic

Reduction).

This objective meets the "Euro 6"

emissions standard adopted by the

European Union aimed at limiting the

emissions of pollutants from internal

combustion engines.

The SCR technology used on BlueHDi

engines involves the injection of

AdBlue^®into the exhaust system.

BlueHDi vehicles have a speciﬁc

AdBlue^®additive tank with a capacity

of 17 litres.

It has an exterior ﬁller with a blue ﬁller

cap, located to the left of the Diesel

fuel ﬁller cap.

BLUEHDI AND ADBLUE^®

Filling of the AdBlue^®tank can be

done using 5 or 10 litre containers,

1.89 litre bottles, or when at a fuel

ﬁlling station equipped with a special

AdBlue^®delivery pump for light

vehicles.

AdBlue^®is the brand name of the

solution needed for operation of the

SCR system.

This operation can also be carried

out by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Please note that the high delivery

pumps at some ﬁlling stations,

intended only for lorries and coaches,

are not suitable for cars or light

commercial vehicles.

Never use these pumps.

AdBlue^®

Good practice

While the quantity of AdBlue^®in

the additive tank is sufﬁcient, no

information is displayed.

On the other hand, once the ﬂuid

level drops to the quantity needed

for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km)

driving, you are warned by different

temporary signals (warning lamp,

message, audible signal).

As more miles are covered, these

signals intensify and the message

becomes permanent.

When the AdBlue^®tank is empty,

restarting becomes impossible.

It is strongly recommended that you

do not wait for the successive alerts

before topping-up the AdBlue^®additive,

but do this as soon as possible.

Filling the AdBlue^®tank

For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre

containers and 1.89 litre

(1/2 US gallon) bottles are available

from CITROËN dealers, until they are

equipped with AdBlue^®delivery pumps.

If you want to ﬁll the AdBlue^®tank

yourself, ensure that you have a

suitable ﬁller pipe, which may or may

not be supplied with the additive

container.

Fault with the SCR system

Detection

Your vehicle's exhaust emissions no

longer meet the "Euro 6" standard and

the engine will not start.

Once the 350 miles (600 km) threshold

is reached, the UREA warning lamp

ﬂashes and the Service warning lamp

comes on, accompanied by a message

on the remaining driving range.

The alert is repeated every 30 seconds

with an update of the remaining driving

range in steps of 30 miles (50 km)

travelled.

Every time the ignition is switched

on, the alert is given together with an

audible signal.

At 0 miles the system installed in

the vehicle to meet the emissions

standard will prevent engine

starting.

To be able to restart the vehicle, you

must add at least 4 litres of AdBlue^®.

The UREA, Service and diagnostic

warning lamps comes on.

Every time the ignition is switched on,

the emissions fault is conﬁrmed by an

audible signal and a message.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert

disappears as soon as the exhaust

emissions return to the levels required

by the standard.

-

Pour the additive into the tank (by

the ﬁller with the blue cap).

Switch on the ignition without

starting.

Wait 10 seconds before starting the

engine.

Or go to a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

On the other hand, if the warning

lamps are still on after 30 miles

(50 km) of driving, the fault is

conﬁrmed.

Avoid waiting until the

remaining range is 0 miles!

The alert is repeated when driving until

the AdBlue^®tank has been topped-up

with sufﬁcient additive.

Unless the additive in the special

additive tank is topped-up, you risk

immobilisation of the vehicle.

An engine start prevention system

will be activated automatically after

650 miles (1 100 km) travelled

following this conﬁrmation.

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Following this, make a further ﬁll

to the special additive tank, the

capacity of which is 17 litres.
