REPLACING A FUSE

Before replacing a fuse, you should ascertain the cause

of the fault and have it remedied. The numbers of the

fuses are indicated on the fusebox.

If you should put in fuel that is not suitable for your vehicle's

engine type, it is imperative to have the tank drained before

you start the engine again.

While you are refuelling, the

engine must be stopped and the

ignition switched off.
When you are seeking to fi ll your

tank, do not persist after the

third cut-off; that could cause

your vehicle to malfunction.
Fuel must be added in quantities

of more than 5 litres to be recog-

nised by the fuel gauge.

To open the fl ap, press button A.

Undo the cap and attach it to the

tab on the inside of the fl ap.
Opening the cap can trigger a vac-

uum. This results in a noise caused

by the sealing of the fuel circuit.
Note: The fuel fl ap is locked when

you lock your vehicle with the

remote control.

FUEL QUALITY

A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you

which type of fuel to use.

Quality of the fuel used for

Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly

compatible with biofuels which

conform to current and future

European standards (Diesel fuel

which complies with standard EN

590 mixed with a biofuel which

complies with standard EN 14214)

which can be distributed at the

pumps (possible incorporation of

0 to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of any other type of (bio)

fuel (vegetable or animal oils,

domestic fuel oil, etc.) is strictly

prohibited (risk of damage to the

engine and fuel circuit).

UPPER FRONT LENS

B Dipped/main beam
C Sidelamp

Note: In some climatic condi-

tions, condensation can appear in

the lighting/signalling units. This

is normal and should disappear

after a while (when the functions

have been on for a few minutes for

example).
If this is not the case, contact a

CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop.
For repairs to the front lamp units

and for bulb replacement, contact

a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop. The bulbs for lamps D

and E have a common bulb-

holder.

C H A N G I N G B U L B S

Your headlamps have Xenon bulbs.
Because of the risk of electrocution, we recommend that

you contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop in the

event of a fault.
It is recommended to change both bulbs at the same time if

there is a failure of one of them.
Your vehicle is equipped with an active bonnet. To ensure the

correct operation of this safety equipment, contact a CITROËN

q pp

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop for the replacement of any part of

the front panel.

It is recommended that towbar installation and removal be

done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If you are towing another vehicle, the latter must be free-

wheeling (gearbox in neutral).

Dimensions (in metres):
A: 0.971

TOWBAR

(Boat, caravan, etc.)
It is recommended that towbar

installation and removal be done

by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-

fi ed workshop.
If you are climbing a steep gradient

and the engine gets excessively

hot, certain functions become una-

vailable (e.g. sequential control of

the automatic gearbox, the air con-

ditioning).
If you are towing, it is necesaary

to deactivate the parking assist-

ance by pressing the control on the

dashboard. See "Parking assist-

ance".
It is recommended that you remove

the towing ball, so that it does not

interfere with the functioning of the

proximity sensors, when you are

not using a trailer.

MAINTENANCE

if cleaning the vehicle with a high

pressure system

Your Piloted Defl ector has to

be closed.
It is not advisable to clean the

underside of the vehicle, for

fear of damaging the electric

parking brake.
As water may penetrate into

the vehicle interior via the door

apertures, do not target these

areas.
Do not direct at the headlamps,

lamps and their edges for too

long or you may damage their

coating and seals.

Do not exceed the maximum permitted

load.
For the maximum distributed load on the

roof bars: see the chapter "General".

Recommendations:

Spread the load evenly, avoiding overloading on

one side.
Position the heaviest weight as low down as pos-

sible.
Tie the load down securely and add warning signs

if it is protruding.
Drive conservatively, as the vehicle will be more

vulnerable to side winds.
The stability of your vehicle may be altered.
Remove the roof rack or roof bars when you are

not using them.

•

IMPORTANT

For your safety and to avoid damage to the roof, you should use roof bars that are tested and approved by CITROËN

for the design of your particular vehicle.

INSTALLATION

Four fi xing points are provided on your vehicle.

Before positioning the jack, always adjust the vehicle's ground

clearance to the "maximum height" position and retain this

adjustment for as long as the jack is under the vehicle (do not

use the hydraulic adjustments).
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the

jack.
The jack and all the tools are designed specifi cally for use on your

particular vehicle. Do not use them for any other applications.
Have the original wheel repaired and refitted as soon as

possible.

parking brake.

2. It is essential to make sure that the occupants have left the vehicle and

are in a place where their safety is guaranteed.

3. With the engine idling, adjust the ground clearance to maximum height.

See "Comfort" and "Ground clearance adjustment". Switch off the igni-

tion and engage fi rst gear or reverse gear depending on any slope (for

a vehicle with automatic gearbox, select position P).

4. Position the chock at the wheel that is diametrically opposite the one to

be replaced.

5. Position the jack at one of the four jacking-points provided on the sub-

frame close to the wheels, then use the handle to unwind the jack until
