MONITORING OPERATION


A warning lamp on fi xed or fl ash-
ing, with the engine running, in-
dicates an fault in the operation
of the unit concerned. The illumi-
nation of certain warning lamps
may be accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and a message in the
screen. Do not ignore this warn-
ing: consult a
CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.


If the central STOP warning lamp
comes on when you are driving,
stop your vehicle immediately,
where it is safe to do so.



Central (STOP)
warning lamp
Engine oil pressure
and temperature
warning lamp
Linked to the central (STOP) warning
lamp.

You must stop.

This warning lamp indicates one of
the following:


- low oil pressure indicated by the
message "Oil pressure insuffi -
cient"
in the screen.

- low engine oil level. Top up the
level.

- oil temperature too high. To lower
the oil temperature, reduce your
speed.
Illumination of the warning lamp is
accompanied by an audible signal.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.


Low engine coolant
level warning lamp
Linked to the central (STOP) warn-
ing lamp.
This comes on for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on.
Illumination of this warning lamp is
accompanied by an audible signal
and the message "Top up engine
fl uid level"
in the screen.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level.
The cooling system is pressurised.



Parking brake, low
brake fluid level and
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution system
fault warning lamp
Linked to the central (STOP) warning
lamp.
This comes on each time the ignition
is switched on.
Illumination of this warning lamp is
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen indicat-
ing the cause of the warning:


- "Handbrake on",
if the parking
brake is applied or not fully re-
leased.

- "Brake fl uid level low"
if there is
an excessive drop in brake fl uid
level (if the warning lamp remains
on even when the parking brake
is released).

- "Braking fault"
is displayed to-
gether with the ABS warning
lamp, indicating a fault with the
Electronic Brake Force Distribu-
tion system. You must stop as
soon as it is safe to do so.


Consult a CITROËN dealer. If a check is required, to prevent any
risk of burns
unscrew the cap by
two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Linked to the warning lamps for:


- ''engine oil pressure and temper-
ature'',

- "low coolant level'',

- "parking brake'',

- ''low brake fl uid level'',

- ''electronic brake force distribution
system fault''.
Linked with the "coolant temperature"
gauge.

You must stop if the lamp fl ashes
with the engine running.

Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Seat belt not fastened
warning lamp *

When the ignition is switched
on, this warning lamp comes
on if the driver has not fastened their
seat belt.
Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the warn-
ing lamp fl ashes for two minutes.
Once the two minutes have elapsed,
the warning lamp remains on until
the driver fastens their seat belt.


Coolant temperature indicator



- needle in zone (A)
, the tempera-
ture is correct,

- needle in zone (B)
, the tempera-
ture is too high. The central STOP

warning light fl ashes, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and the
message "Engine coolant temp.
too high"
on the display.

You must stop.

Consult a CITROËN dealer.

* According to country.


Passenger's airbag
deactivated warning
lamp *

Illumination of this warning lamp
is accompanied by the message

CHECKING LEVELS

Dipstick

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.

Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a par-
ticle fi lter, the engine fan may op-
erate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the engine
is cold.

There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A
= maximum
Never fi ll past this
mark.

B
= minimum
To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is
prohibited.


Brake fluid level

The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.


Cooling system

Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate 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.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

Power steering reservoir



)
Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.



Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
CITROËN.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.


Used products

Avoid products such as used oil and
brake fl uid coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose in the CITROËN
dealer network (France) or to an author-
ised waste disposal site.


Oil level

It is normal to top up the engine oil
between services. CITROËN rec-
ommends that you check the oil
level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING A TRAILER,CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle, in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.

Driving advice


Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.

Cooling:
Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant.
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.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load on
a steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning permits
the recovery of engine power and there-
fore an increase in the towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.

Braking:
Towing increases the braking
distance.

Lights:
Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.

Side wind:
Take into account the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
