MONITORING









Service indicator

System which informs the driver
when the next service is due, in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due
is calculated from the last indicator
zero reset. It is determined by two
parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last
service. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner
goes
off
; the dis-
tance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 km remain
before the next service is due

Example:
900 km remain before the
next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes

to indicate that the service must be
carried out as soon as possible.

Example:
the service is overdue by
300 km.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains on
to indicate that
a service must be carried out soon. 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains
on
.
More than 1 000 km remain
before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbol-
ising the service operations comes
on. The distance recorder display
line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.

Example:
4 800 km remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

Service indicator zero reset















Engine oil level indicator

After each service, the service indi-
cator must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero
is as follows:


)
switch off the ignition,

)
press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,

)
switch on the ignition; the dis-
tance recorder display begins a
countdown,

)

disappears. System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is correct
or not.
This information is displayed for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the service infor-
mation.
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.

Oil level correct

Oil level low
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi-
function screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essen-
tial that the level is topped up to pre-
vent damage to the engine.
Oil level gauge fault
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to lo-
cate the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap
on your engine.
There are 2 marks on
the dipstick:


- A
= max; never ex-
ceed this level (risk
of engine damage),

- B
= min; top up the
level via the oil fi ller,
using the type of oil
suited to your en-
gine.


Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait at least fi ve minutes
for the zero reset to be taken into ac-
count.
