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 1 800 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 1 800 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 panel central screen indi-
cates the distance remaining before
the next service is due.
Example:
1 900 miles (2 800 km)
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 (900 km) re-
main 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 (300 km).
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, de-
pending 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
account.
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 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 15 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by displaying of 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 fault
This is indicated by displaying of the
message "Oil level measurement in-
valid". Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

MONITORING
Engine oil temperature gauge
Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
.
In this event, slow down, and if neces-
sary, stop the engine and check the
levels (see corresponding section).
Coolant temperature gauge
Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
, the
engine coolant temperature warning
lamp A
and the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop as soon as it is safe
to do so
. Switch off the ignition. The
cooling fan may continue to oper-
ate for a certain time
.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
If the SERVICE
warning lamp comes on, check the levels (see corre-
sponding chapter). On horizontal ground, illumination of
the fuel low warning lamp indicates
that you are at the reserve level.
An alert message is displayed in the
instrument panel.

MONITORING
Total distance recorder
System which measures the total
distance travelled by the vehicle
during its life.
The total and trip distances are dis-
played for thirty seconds when the
ignition is switched off, when the
driver's door is opened and when
the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
In order to observe legislation,
change the units of distance (miles
or km) to those for the country you
are passing through, using the con-
fi guration menu.

Deactivation
When the lighting is off, or in day
mode on vehicles fi tted with daytime
running lamps, pressing the buttons
does not have any effect.
Trip distance recorder
System which measures a distance
travelled during a day or other pe-
riod since it was reset to zero by the
driver.
)
With the ignition on, press the
button until zeros appear.
