Instruments and controls
SERVICE INDICATOR
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising the
service indicator comes on: the display
informs you when the next service is due,
in accordance with the "Manufacturer ’s"
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined in
relation to the distance travelled since the
previous service.
LIGHTING RHEOSTAT
The rheostat is active when the lights are on.
Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on delivery of the vehicle.
After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions. Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument
panel.
There are 8 setting levels.
Deterioration of the engine oil (100 and 120 bhp engines)
"Oil Life" or "Suit in Oil" function: your
vehicle’s service interval is 24,000 miles
(40,000 km), in normal use.
However, the engine control unit tests the
degree of wear of the engine oil.
If your vehicle is used in arduous conditions
and consequently suffers engine oil wear.
And if your vehicle is fitted with
this equipment, you are warned
by flashing of the engine oil
pressure warning light and the
displaying of a message on the
instrument panel each time the vehicle is
started.

In this case, your vehicle must be
serviced as soon as possible.

Driving safety
SAFETY
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the
EBFD provides full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated. This alters the resistance
of the brake pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved.
If this warning light comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake warning
light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of
control of the vehicle on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.

CHECKS
Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. 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.
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 with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and

MAX marks.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
CITROËN dealerships.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion bottle. If more than
1 litre of fl uid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Windscreen wash and headlamp wash level
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.

Checks
CHECKS
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer ’s servicing schedule. To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing booklet
which correspond to your vehicle’s engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and characteristics.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking circuit, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Bleeding the water contained in the diesel filter
If this warning light comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine is
drained.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all
of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
