sage in the screen. Do not ignore
this warning: 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.

ing 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.

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-

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 tempera-
ture'',

- ''low coolant level'',

- 'parking brake'',

- ''low brake fl uid level'',

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on,
the engine oil level is indicated for
approximately 10 seconds, after the
service information.
Flashing of the six squares and dis-
playing of "max" indicate a surplus of
oil which could damage the engine.
If the surplus of oil is confi rmed by
a check using the dipstick, contact a
CITROËN dealer without delay. Your CITROËN dealer carries out
this operation after each service.
The reset procedure is as follows:


- Switch off the ignition.

- Press and hold button 1
.

- Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a 10 second count-
down.


-
Keep button 1
pressed for 10 seconds.

The display shows [=0]
and the spanner
disappears.

Flashing of the six segments and dis-
playing of "min" indicate a lack of oil
which could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up. Flashing of the six segments indi-
cates a malfunction of the oil level
indicator.
There is a risk of damage to the
engine.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

The level read on the dipstick or on
the indicator will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Dipstick

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Note:
avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
CITROËN network.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.

Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a parti-
cle fi lter, the engine fan may operate
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 reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.


Brake fluid level:

The brake fl uid must be changed according
to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 stan-
dards.

Note:
brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.


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 release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level.

Used oil

Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.


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.


Oil level



)
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dipstick.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
76 -
CHECKS
Oil filter

Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, CITROËN selects and offers
quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)

If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit:


- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres
of diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF(PETROL)

In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents
fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.


Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly. If you drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.



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.


Disc and drum wear status

For any information relating to check-
ing the disc and drum wear status,
contact a CITROËN dealer.


Manual gearbox

This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.

To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.



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.


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
