Instruments and controls
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "ignition on" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- F (full): the capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres .
- E (empty): the reserve is now being
used, the warning lamp comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 6 litres. 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 approximately 15 minutes to allow
the engine to cool down in order to check
the level and top it up if necessary. 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. EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which meets the exhaust
emissions standards for:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles detected by oxygen sensors placed upstream and
downstream of the catalytic converters.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7. Refer to the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
The driver is warned of any
fault with this emission control
system by flashing of this specific
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.

What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone, or if the warning
lamp comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The cooling fan may continue to operate
for a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

Towing a trailer
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...
Driving advice As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.

Levels
Engine coolant level
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine cooling fan. As
this fan can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour after
the engine has stopped before carrying out
any work.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the header tank. If more than
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer. Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap with
integral gauge and check the level which
must be between the
MIN and MAX marks.
Screenwash fluid level
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
topping up or replacement of this fluid
should never be with plain water; we
recommend the use of products available
from CITROËN dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.
Slacken the cap by two turns to release the
pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer as soon as possible. Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with
the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground,
but into the containers provided for this
purpose at CITROËN dealers (France) or
at an authorised waste disposal site.
