System which informs the driver when the next ser vice is due, in accordance with the manufacturer's ser vicing schedule. The point at which the ser vice is due is calculated from the last indicator zero reset. It is determined by two parameters: - the distance travelled, - the time elapsed since the last ser vice.
Service indicator
More than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbolising the ser vice operations comes on. The distance recorder display line indicates the distance remaining before the next ser vice is due. Example: 4 800 km remain before the next ser vice is due. For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain before the next service is due

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on to indicate that a ser vice must be carried out soon. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner is switched off ; the distance recorder off
resumes its normal operation. The display then indicates the total and trip distances.

37Instruments and controls
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains lit .
The distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor, depending on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also come on if you have exceeded the two year ser vice inter val.
Service indicator zero reset
After each ser vice, the ser vice indicator must be reset to zero. The procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:  switch off the ignition,  press and hold the trip distance recorder zero reset button,  switch on the ignition; the distance recorder display begins a countdown,  when the display indicates "=0" , release the button; the spanner disappears.
Following this operation, if you wish to disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and wait at least five minutes for the zero reset to be taken into account.
Retrieving the service information
You can access the ser vice information at any time.  Press the trip distance recorder zero reset button. The ser vice information is displayed for a few seconds, then disappears.
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner flashes to indicate that the ser vice must be carried out as soon as possible. Example: the ser vice is overdue by 300 km. For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display indicates:

System which informs the driver whether the engine oil level is correct or not. This information is indicated for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, after the ser vice information.
Engine oil level indicator
The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 15 minutes.
Oil level correct
Lack of oil
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" , linked with the ser vice warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen. If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, it is essential that the level is topped up to prevent damage to the engine.
Oil level indicator fault
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL- -" . Consult a CITROËN dealer.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick: - A = max; never exceed this level (risk of damage to the
engine), - B = min; top up the level via the oil filler cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your engine.
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.

A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km) This indicates the distance which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank in relation to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption during the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km) This indicates the distance travelled since the last trip computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h) This is the average speed calculated since the last trip computer zero reset (ignition on).
Distance remaining
to destination
(miles or km) This is the distance remaining to be travelled
to the final destination. It can be entered by the user. If the distance is not entered, dashes are displayed in place of the digits.
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
