FUEL GAUGE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the
red zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.
What you should do if the warning
light comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time up to
a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 0 m i n u t e s ,
- wait for the engine to cool down in order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, c h e c k t h e l e v e l o n t h e e x p a n s i o n
bottle,
-
if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:

General points
For more information, refer to your
r e g i s t r a t i o n c e r t i fi c a t e .
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
l e g i s l a t i o n a r e c o m p l i e d w i t h . T o fi n d
out your vehicle's towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
C I T R O Ë N d e a l e r . The braked towed weight with load
transfer can be increased on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
G T W i s n o t e x c e e d e d . W a r n i n g : t o w i n g
using a lightly loaded towing vehicle
may have an adverse effect on its road
h o l d i n g .
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with
t h e l e g i s l a t i o n i n f o r c e i n y o u r c o u n t r y ) . High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance
of the vehicle in order to protect the
engine; when the ambient temperature
is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed
w e i g h t .
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
fi l l e d t o 9 0 % .
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed
load mentioned must be reduced by
1 0 % f o r e a c h a d d i t i o n a l 1 0 0 0 m e t r e s .
