 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

switched on, the spanner symbolising the 
service indicator comes on: the display 
informs you when the next service is due, 
in accordance with the "Manufacturer ’s" 
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing 
booklet. This information is determined in 
relation to the distance travelled since the 
previous service. 
 LIGHTING RHEOSTAT 
 The rheostat is active when the lights are on. 
     Refer to the list of checks in the  
servicing booklet which was given to

 "Oil Life" or "Suit in Oil" function: your  
vehicle’s service interval is 24,000 miles 
(40,000 km), in normal use.  
 However, the engine control unit tests the  
degree of wear of the engine oil.  
 If your vehicle is used in arduous conditions  
and consequently suffers engine oil wear.
And if your vehicle is fitted with  
this equipment, you are warned 
by flashing of the engine oil 
pressure warning light and the 
displaying of a message on the 
instrument panel each time the vehicle is 
started.    
  
In this case, your vehicle must be

 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.  HEADLAMP  BEAM  
 You are advised to adjust the height of the  
headlamp beams in accordance with the 
load in your vehicle.    
 This function can be accessed in the dipped  
headlamps and main beam headlamps position.  This system enables you to leave the side  
lights on when parked; with the ignition off,

towards the steering wheel, prolongs the 
follow me home lighting by 30 seconds up 
to approximately 3 minutes. When this time 
has elapsed, the lights are switched off 
automatically.  
 Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk  
pulled towards the steering wheel for more 
than 2 consecutive seconds.     Press this control turning the 
key one notch in the opposite 
direction to starting at the same 
time. You can then remove the 
key.
