INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
Central STOP
warning lamp
T h i s fl a s h e s f o r a f e w
seconds each time the ignition is
switched on. It is linked with the
warnings for:
- "engine oil pressure",
- "coolant temperature",
Stop immediately if this lamp
comes on with the engine running.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Engine oil pressure
warning lamp
This comes on each time the
ignition is switched on until
the engine is started.
If it comes on linked with the STOP
warning lamp, with the engine run-
ning, this indicates that the oil pres-
sure is too low.
Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Coolant temperature
warning lamp
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the ignition is
switched on. Anti-lock braking
system (ABS) warning
lamp
This comes on for a few seconds
each time the ignition is switched
on.
Fixed lighting indicates a malfunction
of the ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional braking with servo-assistance.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Parking brake, low
brake fluid level
and braking system
warning lamp
This comes on each time the ignition
is switched on until the parking brake
is released. Electric power steering
warning lamp
This comes on for a few sec-
onds each time the ignition is
switched on.
Fixed lighting, when the vehicle is
moving, indicates a malfunction of
the electric steering system.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
If this warning lampcomes on, with
the engine running, this indicates
an abnormal increase in the coolant
temperature.
Stop immediately .
Check the coolant level.
To do this, wait until the engine has
cooled before topping up the level.
The cooling system is pressurised.
When checking the level, and
to avoid any risk of scald-
ing, unscrew the cap 1/4 of
a turn to allow the pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap.
Then:
1. top up, if necessary (see
"Levels").
2. or, if the level is satisfactory,
contact a CITROËN dealer. Fixed lighting, with the engine run-
ning, indicates one of the following:
- that the parking brake is applied
or has not been released fully,
when the vehicle is moving,
- an excessive drop in the brake fl u i d l e v e l ( i f t h e w a r n i n g l a m p
remains on even with the parking
brake released),
- a braking system fault.
Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A = maximum
I f y o u fi l l p a s t t h i s m a r k ,
contact a CITROËN
dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level
to fall below this mark.

Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Oil viscosity grade

the manufacturer's requirements. Cooling system

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.

very corrosive.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of
scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. O n l y u s e t h e fl u i d r e c o m -
mended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
b r a k e fl u i d o r c o o l a n t i n t o
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the CITROËN network
(France) or at an authorised waste
disposal site.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this
fan can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.

In order to optimise the
operation of units as important as the
braking system, CITROËN selects
a n d o f f e r s s p e c i fi c p r o d u c t s .
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
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.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

If you drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
CITROEN dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is
possible to restart it to drive
a short distance by operating
the priming pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the
p r o t e c t i v e c o v e r w h i c h m u s t fi r s t
be unclipped and then removed,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximately
15 seconds, operate the priming
pump again approximately
fi f t e e n t i m e s b e f o r e t r y i n g a g a i n .
If the emission control warning lamp
has come on, it will only switch off
after your vehicle has been used
several times.
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.
