Starting in very cold weather
In very cold weather, the engine and gearbox oils become
much less fluid. To improve starting, depress the clutch
pedal before operating the starter motor, releasing the
pedal slowly once the engine has started.
Diesel fuel heater
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel heating system
which reduces the risk of fuel supply problems in cold
weather.
Radiator – coolant fluid
Top up preferably using CITROËN coolant fluid, which
protects the cooling and heating systems against frost
and corrosion.
From delivery of your vehicle, the coolant fluid gives
protection down to –35°C.
Screen wash fluid
For best results as well as for your safety, use only CIT-
ROËN approved products which protect at tempera-
tures as low as –25° to –30°C.

Snow chains
Snow chains can be fitted on tyres with dimensions as
indicated in « General information ».
The chains should be fitted only on the front wheels.
Use only fine-link chains that are designed for your par-
ticular vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer.
If driving on roads which are not snow-affected, you
should remove the chains so that they, your tyres and
also the road surfaces are not damaged.
ADVICE
When driving with snow-chains, speed should be
adapted to road and traffic conditions.
Special care is required in emergency braking.
