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
lamp comes on:



- stop immediately, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time, up to
approximately 10 minutes,

- 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,
check the level on the expansion
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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of
chapter 6. The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.

SERVICE INDICATOR

This programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due

Example:
4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few seconds, the screen shows:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation showing the
total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation and the
spanner remains on. This indicates that
a service should be carried out shortly.

Service overdue
First of the two terms reached: the
spanner also comes on if the two-year
interval has elapsed.

Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation comes
on; the display for the total distance
recorder gives (in round fi gures) the
distance remaining before the next
service.
The points at which a service is due
are calculated from the last indicator
zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time which has elapsed since
the last service.
The distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by
the time factor, depending on the
type of driving. With the engine running the
spanner remains on until the
service has been carried out. Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

Trip recorder
zero reset button
After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait for at least fi ve
minutes, otherwise the zero re-set will
not be registered.


Zero re-set

Your CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop carries out this operation
after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:


- switch off the ignition,

- press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,

- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0"
, release
the button; the spanner disappears.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for a few
seconds, after the service information.
Oil level correct

Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL"
,
linked with the
service warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which
could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"

indicates a
malfunction of the
engine oil level
indicator. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
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.
Dipstick

A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop
without delay.

B
= minimum, top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.

With the lighting on,
