MONITORING






Service indicator

This information is displayed for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It informs the driver
when the next service is due, in ac-
cordance 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
parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last
service.


More than 2 000 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears on the
instrument panel central screen.


Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 2 000 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The instrument pan-
el central screen indicates the distance re-
maining before the next service is due.

Example:
1 900 miles remain before the
next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:


Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example:
500 miles remain before
the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the central screen in-
dicates:
Service overdue
For 7 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes

to indicate that the service must be
carried out as soon as possible.

Example:
the service is overdue by
180 miles.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:

The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
should have been carried out.

MONITORING













Service indicator zero reset
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"
,
release the button; the spanner
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 ac-
count.
















Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is cor-
rect or not.
This information is indicated 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 incorrect
This is indicated by the message
"Oil level incorrect".
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 problem
This is indicated by the message "Oil
level measurement invalid". Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

DRIVING
LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal traffi c
lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts over a lane marking (speed
higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.

Activation



)
Press this button, the indicator
lamp comes on.



Deactivation



)
Press this button again, the indi-
cator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.


Detection

You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:


- on the right-hand side, if the
marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,

- on the left-hand side, if the mark-
ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-stand-
ard marking (e.g. graffi ti) is crossed.


Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

The detection may be impeded:


- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),

- if the markings on the ground
are worn,

- if there is little contrast between
the markings on the ground and
the road surface.
