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"
,

disappears. System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is cor-
rect 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.

COMFORT
Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended that you
have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To preserve the sealing of the air
conditioning compressor, operate
the air conditioning at least once a
month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
air the passenger compartment by
opening the windows for a few mo-
ments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by
using power from the engine. This
results in a slight increase in fuel
consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter (active
carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle's servicing
schedule (see the servicing booklet).
Air circulation
Air vents on the fl oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumb wheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning in the passenger com-
partment uses a number of sensors
(sunshine sensor, ambient tempera-
ture sensor...) that relieve you of the
need to make frequent adjustments to
the displayed temperature.
Take care not to obstruct the sun-
shine sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

SECOND ROW REAR SEATS(GRAND C4 PICASSO)
Each seat can be folded onto the
fl oor to form a fl at surface, thus en-
abling you to adapt your vehicle’s
interior space.
Folding a seat
From the outside
)
Pull fi rmly upwards on strap C
,
as indicated by the red arrow, to
unlock the seat; keep pulling until
the seat is fully folded.
Push the seat backrest gently
forwards so that the backrest
folds onto the seat cushion. The
assembly lowers onto the fl oor.
From the boot (when loading, for
example)
You can fold the second-row seat(s)
from the boot, having fi rst folded the
third-row seats.
)

to unlock the
chosen seat, push the backrest
gently forwards.
To prevent any damage to the
mechanism, the strap D
unclips

panels to their initial position and
lock them in position.

return the second-row rigid pan-
els to their initial position and lock
them in place.
Never allow children to operate the
seats without supervision.
Rigid panel
Each second-row seat backrest has
a rigid panel attached.
This panel enables you:
- to have a continuous load sur-
face in the boot, whatever the
positions of the seats,
- to avoid having objects sliding
under the second-row seats.
Unlocking/Locking the rigid
panel
)
Slide the latch 1

ACCESS
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
hicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents
and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
fi nd the key code and the transpon-
der code required to order a new
key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the ve-
hicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched
off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to
the electronic engine immobiliser
system; this could cause malfunc-
tions.
When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys
in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that
only your keys can be used to open
and start the vehicle.
Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
