FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
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. Th e
fan may continue to operate for a certain
time up to approximately 10 minutes.
- 1: the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.
- 0: the reserve is now being used, the
warning light comes on continuously.
The reserve when the warning first
comes on is approximately 8 litres.
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. - wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
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.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
