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.

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

brake released),
- a braking system fault.
Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
