oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information. Oil level correct
Lack of oil
Flashing of
"OIL" , linked
with the service warning
light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the display, indicates a lack of
oil which could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL --"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
gauge. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
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. Dipstick
A = maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.

Deactivation of the manual correction Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery charge. Parking for a long duration
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use,
the height of the platform may change due to
the automatic compensation on unlocking or
on opening one of your vehicle's doors.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to manual correction
You must deactivate the manual
correction in the following situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat,... Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
If you start and the warning light flashes, to
switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,
- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h), until the compensation
returns to automatic mode. Warning light
Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
