Warning and indicator lamps
Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warn-
ing lamp) or of the operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp
in question.
Associated warnings
The illumination, fi xed or fl ashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of a message.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a malfunction which requires action on the part of the driver.
The warning comes on in the instrument panel.
If your vehicle has a screen, a
warning lamp coming on is al-
ways accompanied by the dis-
play of an additional message,
to assist you in identifying the
problem.
If you encounter any problems,
do not hesitate to contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Engine oil level indicator
The vehicle must be on level
ground and the engine must
have been off for more than
30 minutes for this level check to
be accurate.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
or the display of a specifi c mes-
sage in the instrument panel, coupled
with the service warning lamp and ac-
companied by an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to avoid damage to the
engine.

Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
Oil level incorrect This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
or the display of a specifi c mes-
sage in the instrument panel. Contact a
CITROËN or a qualifi ed workshop.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),
- B

via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the correct grade of
oil for your engine.
This information is displayed for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, at the same time as the service in-

Service indicator
This information is displayed for a few
seconds after switching on the igni-
tion. It 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 service indica-
tor zero reset. It is determined by two
parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last ser-
vice.
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 in the in-
strument panel central screen.
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 or a spe-
cifi c message in the instrument panel
central screen indicates the distance re-
maining before the next service is due.
For 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 screen 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 re-
sumes its normal operation. The span-
ner remains on
to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.

Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes
to
indicate that the service must be car-
ried 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 screen indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder re-
sumes its normal operation. The span-
ner remains on
.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the type of driving.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval.
Service indicator zero reset
This operation cannot be car-
ried out while a reminder of the
servicing information is being
displayed.
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 registered.
Recalling the service information
You can recall the service information
at any time.
Briefl y press the ".../000"
trip dis-
tance recorder zero reset button.
The service information is displayed
for a few seconds.
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 ".../000"
trip dis-
tance recorder zero reset button,
switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,
when the screen indicates "=/0"
and the spanner disappears, re-
lease the button.
