distance is displayed.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed: A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.
The distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by
the time factor, depending on the type of
driving. More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition
is switched on and for a few seconds, the
screen shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the
last service.

When the display shows "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
After this operation, if you wish to disconnect
the battery, lock the vehicle and wait for at
least five minutes, otherwise the zero re-set
will not be registered.
Zero re-set
Your CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop carries out this operation after
each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:
- switch off the ignition,
- press and hold the trip recorder reset button,
- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
Engine oil level indicator
Depending on your vehicle's engine, when
the ignition is switched on, the engine oil
level is indicated for a few seconds, after the
service information.
Oil level correct
Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL" , linked
with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which could
damage the engine.
If the low oil level 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
indicator. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes. Dipstick
A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may

B = minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.

Manual mode
Manual sequential gear changing.
- Select gear lever position M ,
- push the gear lever towards the + sign to change up, from 1 through to 6,
- conversely, push the gear lever towards the - sign to change down.
You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if the
vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
If they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects first gear.
Good practice
Never select position N when the vehicle is
moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the gear lever from position P to another position in the
event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R , D or M is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running .
Operating fault
Any operating fault is indicated by an
audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault" in the
screen.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when changing
from P to R and from N to R (this will not
cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
When traversing a flooded road or a
ford, drive at walking pace.

Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the windscreen, behind
the mirror. It is used for the automatic
illumination of headlamps and for the
automatic rain sensitive wipers. The sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps switch
on automatically if the light
is poor, or during operation
of the windscreen wipers. They switch off as
soon as the light becomes bright enough or
the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime running lamps. Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards. The
deactivation of this function is accompanied

The function is deactivated temporarily when
you use the manual lighting control stalk.
Initial setting is position 0.
In foggy weather or in snow, the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light. As a consequence, the lighting will not
come on automatically. If necessary, you
must switch on the dipped beam headlamps
manually.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
