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.

When the needle is at the start of
the red zone, the minimum fuel
tank level is reached when this
warning light comes on. At this moment,
you have approximately 8 litres of fuel
remaining. Fill up without delay to avoid
running out of fuel.
When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your

clip located on the inside of the flap. .
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.
The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
