The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the last service.

EMISSION CONTROL
Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control system
by the lighting of this specific warning light
on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics system
which complies with, among
others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Each time the ignition is switched

Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a

disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.
Zero re-set
Your CITROËN dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:
- switch off the ignition,
- press and hold the trip recorder reset
button,
- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release the

If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
