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:
- F (Full): the fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty): the reserve is now being
used, the warning light comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 11 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
125 litres) are available as an option.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between C
(Cold) and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. - wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:
the cooling system is pressurised. In order to
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone, or 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.
EMISSION CONTROL
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. 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.

ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT
AUTOMATIC LIGHTING
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the side lights and dipped headlamps are
switched on automatically if the light is
poor and when continuous operation of the
windscreen wipers is detected.
In fog or snow, the brightness sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lights
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off.

IN-CAR TECHNOLOGY
AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists
of four proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
However, objects the size or thickness of
which are detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between
and below the sensors. Examples: stake,
roadworks cone or pavement post. Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral. Operating fault
If this warning light comes on on
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
If your vehicle is fitted
with this display, a
message appears.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
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.
