Instruments and controls
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- 1: the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.
- 0: the reserve is now being used, the
warning light comes on continuously.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between the
blue zone and the red zone: normal
operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning light
comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The fan may continue to operate for a
certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.
- wait for the engine to cool down in order to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle. Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres. As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, check the level on the expansion bottle,
- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Ventilation Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire. The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel
tank. Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator
light is not at reserve.
Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.
It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance.Vehicles fitted with an HDi
engine may be fitted with a heater. When the
engine is at idle or the vehicle is stationary,
it is normal to notice a high-pitched whistling
noise and a slight emission of smoke and
odour.
