MONITORING
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when
the next service is due, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two param-
eters:


- the distance travelled,


- the time elapsed since the last service.


Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before
the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising
the service operations comes on. The
distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next
service is due.

Example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due

Example:
560 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner goes off
; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The screen then indicates
the total and trip distances.

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains on

to indicate that a service must be carried
out soon.

More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser-
vice information appears in the screen.

MONITORING

Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes
to in-
dicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.

Example:
the service is overdue by
180 miles (300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner remains
on
.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the driver's driving
habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval.







Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator
must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:


)
switch off the ignition,

)
press and hold the trip distance re-
corder zero reset button,

)
switch on the ignition; the distance re-
corder display begins a countdown,

)
when the display indicates "=0"
,
release the button; the spanner dis-
appears.
Retrieving the service information
You can access the service information
at any time.


)
Press the trip distance recorder zero
reset button.
The service information is displayed
for a few seconds, then disappears.

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 account.

MONITORING
The level shown will only be
correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been
off for more than 30 minutes.
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a
few seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
, linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine.
Oil level low This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of damage
to the engine),

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

Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.

MONITORING





A few definitions…


Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.

Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)


This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.

Average speed
(mph or km/h)

This is the average speed calcu-
lated since the last trip computer
zero reset (ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)

This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.

This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi ll-
ing with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed when it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal destination. It
can be entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.








Stop & Start time counter

(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop &
Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
