Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation lights up; the display for
the total distance recorder tells you (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

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 lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.
Service overdue
With the engine running the spanner
remains lit until the service has been
carried out.
First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also lights up if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the driver's driving
habits.
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
display shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the

Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control system

on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked by a

Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few

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.

Instruments and controls 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 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.
When the display shows "=0" , release the
button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the engine
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.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
without delay.
B = minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the type of
oil suited to your engine.
Trip recorder zero reset
button
With the ignition on, press the
button until the zeros appear.
Lighting rheostat
With the lights on, press the
button to vary the intensity of
the lighting of the instruments
and controls. When the
lighting reaches the minimum (or maximum)
setting, release the button then press it
again to increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button.

Reverse gear
In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Key
Take care to prevent the key from coming
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing the key down in the
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.
Good practice when starting
Door or bonnet open warning light
If this comes on, a door or the
bonnet is not closed correctly, check!
Diesel pre-heating warning light If the temperature is high
enough, the warning light comes
on for less than one second, you
can start without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning light to
switch off then operate the starter (Starting
position) until the engine starts. Good practice when stopping
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow the
turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when switching
off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after
parking the vehicle.
