MONITORING






Service indicator

This information is displayed for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It 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.


More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on,
no service information appears on
the instrument panel central screen.


Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 7 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising
the service operations comes on. The
instrument panel central screen indi-
cates the distance remaining before
the next service is due.

Example:
1 900 miles (2 800 km)
remain before the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:


Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example:
500 miles (900 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the central screen in-
dicates:
Service overdue
For 7 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
180 miles (300 km).
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:

The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the driver's driving
habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
should have been carried out.

MONITORING













Service indicator zero reset
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,

)
when the display indicates "=0"
,
release the button; the spanner
disappears.
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
account.
















Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is correct
or not.
This information is indicated 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 15 minutes.

Oil level correct

Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by displaying of the
message "Oil level incorrect".
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 displaying of the
message "Oil level measurement in-
valid". Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

MONITORING















Engine oil temperature gauge

Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
.

In this event, slow down, and if neces-
sary, stop the engine and check the
levels (see corresponding section).


Coolant temperature gauge

Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.

In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
, the
engine coolant temperature warning
lamp A
and the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop as soon as it is safe
to do so
. Switch off the ignition. The
cooling fan may continue to oper-
ate for a certain time
.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

If the SERVICE
warning lamp comes on, check the levels (see corre-
sponding chapter). On horizontal ground, illumination of
the fuel low warning lamp indicates
that you are at the reserve level.
An alert message is displayed in the
instrument panel.

distance travelled by the vehicle
during its life.
The total and trip distances are dis-
played for thirty seconds when the
ignition is switched off, when the
driver's door is opened and when
the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

In order to observe legislation,
change the units of distance (miles
or km) to those for the country you

COMFORT

Air conditioning

We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following functions:
air fl ow, temperature in the passenger
compartment and air distribution, by
means of various sensors (ambient
temperature, sunshine). This elimi-
nates any need for you to change
your settings other than the tempera-
ture value displayed.


)
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A
.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control)
and leave all of the vents open, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless of the exterior
climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.














HEATING, VENTILATION
AND AIR CONDITIONING
RECOMMENDATIONS In order to be effective, the air
conditioning must be used with the
windows closed. If the vehicle has
been parked in the sun for a long
period and the interior tempera-
ture is very high, fi rst ventilate the
passenger compartment with the
windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine
power during its operation. As a
result, the fuel consumption of the
vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures), switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power
and improves the towing capacity.


Air inlet

Check that the exterior grille for the
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spraying
at the air inlet.


Air circulation

Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.


Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle’s servicing schedule
(see the vehicle’s servicing booklet).
