Radiator
In normal usage, the coolant tempe-
rature reaches or exceeds 100 °C.
Never remove the cap of a radia-
torthatishot: there is danger from
projection of scalding liquid and
steam. See "Levels".
The antifreeze contained in the cool-
ant lends it the following properties:
• Protection against low tempera-
tures (initial protection: -35 °C).
• Anti-corrosion protection.
• Resistance to high
temperatures.
See the Maintenance Guide.
Oil
In normal use, the engine oil can
exceed temperatures of 130 °C and
thus can cause serious burns.
Exhaust system
Beware of the very high tempera-
tures attained by the various com-
ponents of the exhaust system (risk
of burns).

Dieselfuel
The diesel fuel system of an HDi
vehicle is a high pressure system. Any
repair work must be carried out by
suitably qualified personnel, such as
can be guaranteed by the CITROËN
network.
At all times:
• Avoid attempting repairs while
close to moving traffic. If this is
absolutely necessary, take all
possible precautions.
• Ensure that your passengers seek
safety away from the vehicle and
off the roadway (road verges and
motorway hard shoulders are not
safe places).
• Keep children away from the
vehicle and in safety.
• Operate the hazard lamps and
erect warning signs.
• Preferably summon assistance
from a CITROËN-approved
breakdown service.
• For guaranteed quality
safety, use CITROËN products.
