Checking levels

Check all of the following levels regularly in 

accordance with the manufacturer's service 

schedule. Top them up if required, unless 

otherwise indicated.

If a level drops significantly, have the 

corresponding system checked by a CITROËN 

dealer or a qualified workshop.

The fluids must comply with the 

manufacturer's requirements and with 

the vehicle's engine.

Take care when working under the 

bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 

may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 

cooling fan could start at any time (even with 

the ignition off).

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or 

fluids with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 

very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into 

sewers or onto the ground.

Empty used oil into the containers reserved 

for this purpose at a CITROËN dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Engine oil

The level is checked, with the engine 

having been switched off for at least 30 

minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 

level indicator in the instrument panel when the 

195

Practical information

7

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.

Power steering fluid

The level of this fluid 

should be close to 

the "

MAX

" mark. Check it, with the 

vehicle parked on level ground and with the 

engine cold, by reading the level on the filler 

neck.

Engine coolant

(Diesel)

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.

196

Practical information

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.

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.

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.

197

Practical information

7

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.

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.

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.

Manual parking brake

If you notice excessive brake lever travel 

or decreased effectiveness, the parking 

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.

198

Practical information

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/drum wear

For any information on checking brake 

disc/drum wear, contact a CITROËN 

dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

Shock absorbers

It is not easy for drivers to detect when 

shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, 

the shock absorbers have a major impact on 

road holding and braking performance.

For your safety and driving comfort, it is 

important to have them regularly checked by a 

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Timing and accessory kits

The timing and accessory kits are used 

from the time the engine is started until it 

is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over 

time.

A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage 

the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the 

recommended replacement frequency, stated in 

distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is 

reached first.

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 

199

Practical information

7

water, which are harmless to health and the 

environment.

The AdBlue

®

 is contained in 

a special 

tank

 holding about 20 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.

If the estimated distance travelled by the vehicle 

between two services is greater than 3,000 miles 

(5,000 km), it will be necessary to top up the 

AdBlue.

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 

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 

200

Practical information

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 

AdBlue,

 it is essential to wait around 5 

minutes before switching on the ignition, 

without opening the driver’s door, 

unlocking the vehicle, inserting the key 

into the ignition switch, or bringing the 

key for the "Keyless Entry and Start" 

system into the passenger compartment

.

Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 

seconds before starting the engine.

►  Switch off the ignition and remove the key 

from the switch to switch off the engine.

or

►  With Keyless Entry and Start, press the 

"

START/STOP

" button to switch off the engine.

Accessing the AdBlue

®

 tank

 

 

►  To access the AdBlue

®

 tank, open the front 

left-hand door.

►  Turn the blue cap a 6

th

 of a turn 

anti-clockwise.

►  Release the cap upwards.

►  With a container of AdBlue

®

: after checking 

the expiry date, read the instructions on the 

label carefully before pouring the contents of the 

container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.

►  With an AdBlue

®

 pump: insert the nozzle and 

fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts 

out.

►  After filling, perform the same sequence of 

operations in reverse order.

In order not to overfill the AdBlue

®

 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 

“

Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible

” – it is 

essential to add at least 5 litres.

Free-wheeling

In certain situations, it is necessary to put the 

vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on 

a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode), 

rail or sea transport).

The procedure varies according to the type of 

gearbox and parking brake.

Never leave the vehicle unattended with 

the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.

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 and deactivate 

the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free 

Tailgate Access).

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.

Interior

When washing the vehicle, never use a 

water hose or high-pressure jet to clean 

the interior.

Liquids carried in cups or other open 

containers can spill, presenting a risk of 

damage to the instruments and controls and 

the controls located on the centre console. Be 

vigilant!

To clean instrument panels, touch screens 

or other displays, wipe gently with a soft, 

dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol, 

disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these 

surfaces - risk of damage!

Bodywork

High-gloss paint

Do not use abrasive products, solvents, 

petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.

Never use an abrasive sponge to clean 

stubborn stains - risk of scratching the 

paintwork!

Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to 

plastic or rubber parts.

Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH 

neutral product.

Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean 

microfibre cloth.

Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.

Comply with the instructions for use stated on 

the product.

Textured paint

This type of paint reacts under the effect of 

light, through variations in appearance and 

finish that highlight the lines and contours of the 

vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that 

remain visible and create a unique satin effect 

with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a 

surprising touch.

Never attempt to clean without water.

Never clean your vehicle in an automatic 

roller-brush car wash.

203

Practical information

7

Never select the programme with hot wax 

finish.

Never use high-pressure lances equipped 

with brushes - risk of scratching paint!

Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to 

the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products 

irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.

Choose high-pressure wash, or at least 

high-flow water jet.

Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.

Only a clean microfibre cloth is recommended 

for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle 

without rubbing.

Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the 

bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.

Clean off minor marks (for example, finger 

marks), using a maintenance product 

recommended by CITROËN.

Decals

(Depending on version)

Do not use a high-pressure washer to 

clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or 

detaching the decals!

Use a high-flow hose (temperature 

between 25°C and 40°C).

Place the jet of water perpendicular to the 

surface to be cleaned.

Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.

Leather

Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular 

care is essential for its durability.

It must be protected and nourished using a 

specific leather product, to keep it supple and 

preserve its original appearance.

Do not use maintenance products which 

are not suitable for cleaning leather 

(e.g. solvent, detergent, petrol, pure alcohol).

Do not use bleaching or colour-removal 

products (e.g. perchloroethylene).

When cleaning items partly made from 

leather, take care not to damage the other 

materials with the specific leather product.

Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids, 

quickly mop up any surplus.

Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable 

to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has 

been dampened with demineralised water 

and thoroughly wrung out.

Clean the leather, without rubbing too 

vigorously, using a soft cloth moistened with 

soapy water or a pH-neutral product.

Dry with a soft, dry cloth.

G.

White pipe with cap for repair and inflation.

H.

Speed limit sticker.

The vehicle's electrical system allows the 

connection of the compressor for long 

enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture 

repair.

Only use the two 12 V sockets, located at the 

front

, to connect your compressor.

Repair and sealing 

procedure

►  Park the vehicle without obstructing any 

traffic and apply the parking brake.

►  Follow the safety instructions (hazard 

warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing high 

visibility vest, etc.) according to the legislation in 

force in the country where you are driving.

►  Switch off the ignition.

►  Turn the selector 

A

 to the "Repair" 

position.

►  Check that switch 

B

 is in position "

O

".

Avoid removing any foreign bodies which 

have penetrated the tyre.

 

 

►  Uncoil the white pipe 

G

 fully.

►  Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.

►  Connect the white pipe to the valve of the 

tyre to be repaired.

►  Connect the compressor's electrical plug to 

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

►  Affix the speed limit sticker.

 

The speed limit sticker must be secured 

to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's 

field of vision, to remind you that a wheel is in 

temporary use.

►  Start the vehicle and leave the engine 

running.

Do not start the compressor before 

connecting the white pipe to the tyre 

valve: the sealant product would be expelled 

through the pipe.

►  Switch on the compressor by moving switch 

B

 to position 

I

 until the tyre pressure reaches 

2.0 bars. The sealant product is injected under 

pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect the 

pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of 

blowback).

If after approximately seven minutes this 

pressure is not reached, this indicates 

that the tyre is not repairable; contact a 

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop for 

assistance.

►  Remove the kit and screw the cap back on 

the white pipe. Take care to avoid contaminating 

the vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to 

hand.

Take care, the sealant product is harmful 

if swallowed and causes irritation to the 

eyes.

Keep this product out of the reach of children.

The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the 

bottle.

After use, do not discard the bottle in 

standard waste, take it to a CITROËN dealer 

or an authorised waste disposal site.

208

In the event of a breakdown

Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of 

sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer or 

a qualified workshop.

 

 

►  Drive immediately for approximately three 

miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed 

(between 12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to 

plug the puncture.

►  Stop to check the repair and 

measure the 

tyre pressure

 using the kit.

Inflating, adjusting and 

checking tyre pressures

 

 

►  Turn selector 

A

 to the "Inflation" 

position.

►  Uncoil the white pipe 

G

 fully.

►  Connect the white pipe to the valve on the 

repaired tyre.

►  Reconnect the compressor's electric plug to 

the vehicle's 12 V socket.

►  Start the vehicle and leave the engine 

running.

Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 

workshop as soon as possible.

You must tell the technician that the kit has 

been used. After inspection, the technician 

will advise you on whether the tyre can be 

repaired or if it must be replaced.

►  Adjust the tyre pressure using the 

compressor (to inflate: set switch 

B

 to position 

"

I

"; to deflate: set switch 

B

 to position "

O

" and 

press button 

C

), according to the vehicle's tyre 

pressure label located by the driver's door.

A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that the 

puncture has not been fully sealed; contact a 

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to have 

your vehicle repaired.

►  Remove the kit and stow it.

►  Drive at reduced speed (50 mph 

(80 km/h) max.), limiting the distance 

travelled to approximately 125 miles 

(200 km).

The compressor can also be used, 

without injecting sealant, to check and 

adjust the tyre pressures.

If after approximately 7 minutes the 

required pressure is not reached, this 

indicates that the tyre is irreparably damaged; 

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 

workshop for assistance.

Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 

km) with a repaired tyre; see a CITROËN 

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the 

tyre changed.
