the engine coolant temperature or a major electrical fault.Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the en
gine may cut out.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.



Serviceon temporarily. A minor fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the screen, such as, for example:
- the closing of the doors, boot or bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- the tyre pressures,
- saturation of the par ticle emission filter (Diesel). - ...For any other faults, contact a CITROËN dealer or a

Coolant temperature gauge
With the engine running:
- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,
- in zone B, the temperature is too high; the central STOP
warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and amessage in the instrument panel screen.You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

fter driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
)
wait for the engine to cool, )
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
) when the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,) top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

Be aware of the risk of burns whentopping up the cooling system. Do not fill above the maximum level (indicated on the reservoir).

The various caps and covers allow access for
checking the levels of the various fluids and for replacing cer tain components.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by thefan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the en
gine is cold.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the en
gine cold, to check the level. Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of the
interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 standard.

In addition, as the cooling system ispressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any work.To a v o i d a ny risk of scalding, unscrewthe cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and topup the level.
