 CHECKS 

  Battery 

 At the start of 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 in the system, a drop 

in the brake fluid level indicates that the 

brake pads are worn.  

  Brake disc / drum wear 

 For any information on checking the brake 

disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer 

or a qualified workshop.  

  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.  

  Oil  filter 

 Change the filter regularly, in accordance 

with the servicing schedule.  

  Carbon filter and passenger 

compartment filter 

 The carbon filter permits continuous and 

effective filtering of dust. 
 If the passenger compartment filter becomes 

clogged, 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 the servicing and warranty booklet 

to find out 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. 

  Particle emission filter (Diesel) 

 This filter actively contributes 

to the preservation of air quality 

by trapping unburnt polluting 

particles. It is controlled 

completely and automatically by the engine 

management system. 
 This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk 

of blockage of the filter. 
 This alert signals the start of saturation of 

the particle emissions filter (exceptionally 

prolonged driving in urban conditions: 

reduced speed, traffic jams…). 
 If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN 

dealer or a qualified workshop. 
 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. 
 To regenerate the filter, it is recommended 

that as soon as driving conditions permit, 

you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph 

(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the 

warning lamp goes off and/or the message 

disappears). 

 Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.

  Manual  gearbox 

 Have the level checked in accordance with 

the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  

  Good  practice 

 To check the main levels and certain 

components, in accordance with the 

manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 

the pages of the maintenance and warranty 

guide which correspond to your vehicle's 

engine. 

 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. 
 In order to avoid damaging the electrical 

units, high pressure washing to clean the 

engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
 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.  

   

1.6 litre HDi  

  

2 litre HDi   

  Bleeding the water contained in the 

Diesel filter 

 If this warning lamp comes on, 

bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed 

regularly each time the engine oil 

is changed. 

 To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed 

screw located on the end of the transparent 

pipe. 
 Operate until all of the water in the 

transparent pipe has been drained out then 

tighten the bleed screw. 
 HDi engines use advanced technology. 
 Contact a CITROËN or a qualified workshop 

for all work on the system.  

 During this regeneration, you may notice 

that the idling speed is higher than normal 

and that the cooling fan is running. As 

operation of the exhaust emissions controls 

may cause the exhaust gas temperature to 

reach very high levels, it is recommended 

that you do not stop the vehicle over easily 

inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves, 

pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).  

  Innovation in the search for performance 
 For over 40 year, the TOTAL Research and 

Development departments have developed 

for CITROËN, lubricants to match the latest 

technical innovations on CITROËN vehicles, both 

for competition and for everyday motoring. 
 For you, this is an assurance that you will obtain 

of the best performance for your engine.  

  Optimum protection for your 

engine 
 By having your CITROËN vehicle 

serviced with TOTAL lubricants, you 

are contributing towards improving 

the life and performances of your 

engine, while also protecting the 

environment.

 FILLING WITH FUEL  

  Filling  with  fuel 
 The fuel tank must be fi lled  

with the engine off . 

 When this warning lamp fi rst comes 

on and when the needle is at the start 

of the red zone, the minimum fuel 

tank level has been reached.  

At this moment, you have  

approximately 8 litres  

of fuel remaining.  
Fill up without delay to avoid running out of fuel. 

 When filling with fuel, do not open the 

left-hand side door, if fitted on your 

vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the 

fuel filler flap. 

 Never continue to drive until you run 

out of fuel as this may damage the 

emission control and injection systems.  

  Low  fuel  level 

  It is normal to hear the noise of an inrush 

of air when the cap is opened as there is a 

vacuum caused by the sealing of the fuel 

system. 
 A label affixed to the inside of the flap 

reminds you of the type of fuel to be used. 
 More than 8 litres of fuel must be added in 

order to be registered by the fuel gauge. 
 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 80 litres. 
   -   After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap 

and close the flap.    

  You can lock this door using the 

electric child lock. Refer to "Access" in 

section of 2.  

   -  

Open  the  fuel  filler  flap.  

 

Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn. 

  -   Remove the cap and hook it onto the

   Snow  chains   

JUMPY-ATLANTE-VP_EN_CHAP07_AIDE RAPIDE_ED01-2014

SNOW CHAINS 

  In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 

traction as well as the behaviour of the 

vehicle when braking. 

  The snow chains must be fitted only to 

the driving wheels. They must never be 

fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.  

  Take account of the legislation in force 

in your country on the use of snow 

chains and the maximum running speed 

authorised.  

  Advice  on  installation 
      If you have to fit the chains during 

a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat 

surface on the side of the road. 

     Apply the parking brake and position any 

wheel chocks to prevent movement of 

your vehicle. 

     Fit the chains following the instructions 

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 tightened.   

  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 fitting the snow chains on a level 

and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with 

alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain 

or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.   

   Use only the chains designed to be fitted to 

the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle: 

 For more information on snow chains, 

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 

workshop.
