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

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total

and the spanner remains lit. 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 driver's driving
habits.

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.

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

Levels
LEVELS
the use of additives in engine oil is
prohibited. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Warning lights
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult the instructions at CITROËN
dealerships or in the servicing booklet
enclosed in the handbook pack.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions
at CITROËN dealerships.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel
supplied when filling via the sump opening.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer's requirements.
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel
is described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.

Checks
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
p a s s e n g e r c o m p a r t m e n t fi l t e r . B y m e a n s o f

occupants and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms,
unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing booklet to find out the
replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle
emission filter maintenance is
carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle
has been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may, in
exceptional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the exhaust.
This water vapour does not have any
adverse effect on vehicle handling or the
environment.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet" section
of chapter 6.
