STOPfixed, associated withanother warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and amessage in the screen. It is associated with a punctured
wheel, the brakin
g system, the power steering, the engine oil pressure, 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 qualified workshop.

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.
A
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 closeto the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.

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 shouldbe close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap tocheck the level. Th
e brake fluid level should be close
to 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. When the en
gine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can
operate with the ignition off.
For vehicles fitted with a
par ticle emissions
filter, the cooling fan may continue to
run after stopping the vehicle, even if theengine is cold.
