This warning lamp comes
on if there is a fault with the
electric parking brake.
Electric parking brake -
deactivation of automatic
functions This warning lamp comes
on if the "automatic lock-
ing" (upon switching off the
ignition) and the "automatic
unlocking" functions are de-
activated or faulty.
Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR) The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically
when the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been deacti-
vated, if this warning lamp comes on
continuously, accompanied by a mes-
sage on the instrument panel screen,
switching on of the SERVICE warning
lamp and an audible signal, this indi-
cates the occurrence of a fault in the
ESP/ASR system.
Central alert
- punctured wheel,
- braking,
- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
the anti-lock braking sys-
tem.
However, this does not prevent op-
eration of the vehicle's servo assist-
ed braking. If this warning lamp comes on, stop
immediately and contact a CITROËN
dealer.

zero is as follows:
switch off the ignition,
press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,
switch on the ignition; the dis-
tance recorder display begins a
countdown,
when the display indicates "=0" ,
release the button; the spanner
disappears.
Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the

count. Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is cor-
rect or not.
This information is indicated for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the service infor-
mation.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level low
This is indicated by displaying of the
message "Oil level incorrect".
I f t h e l o w o i l l e v e l i s c o n fi r m e d b y a
check using the dipstick, it is essen-

Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
t i o n s : a i r fl o w , t e m p e r a t u r e i n t h e
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
s e n s o r s ( e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e , s u n -
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
Please do not block the sunshine
sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode (by
pressing the "AUTO" control) and
leave all of the vents open, optimum
comfort will be maintained and humid-
ity and condensation will be removed
r e g a r d l e s s o f t h e e x t e r i o r c l i m a t i c c o n -
ditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
t h e e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e i f t h e a i r
conditioning is on.
VENTILATION, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed. If the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long period and the in-
terior temperature is very high, venti-
late the passenger compartment with
the windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses the engine
power during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle in-
creases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
o u s u s e ( e . g . t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air condi-
tioning permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore increases the
towing capacity.
Air inlet
C h e c k t h a t t h e e x t e r i o r g r i l l e f o r t h e
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spray-
ing at the air inlet. Air circulation
M a x i m u m c o m f o r t i s o b t a i n e d b y

the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.

tomatic and simultaneous control of all
of the following functions:
- A i r fl o w .

Indicator lamp A switches off. 2. Temperature adjustment
Turn control 2 to change the temperature:
- Clockwise to in-
crease the temper-
ature.
- Anticlockwise to reduce the temper-
ature.
The setting required is displayed.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort
and not to a temperature in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on
t h e s c r e e n c o n fi g u r a t i o n .
A setting around the value 21 usually
makes it possible to obtain optimum
comfort. However, depending on
your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is usual.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There
is no need to change the tempera-
ture displayed in order to obtain rap-
idly the level of comfort required.
