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.
Oil level indicator error
Dipstick
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
= min; top up the level
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-
formation.

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
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner 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.

Lost keys
Go to a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate
it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even
when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for
a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when
leaving the vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.

According to country.
ALARM *
System which protects and provides a
deterrent against theft and break-ins. It
provides the following types of monitoring.
- exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of the
vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to
open a door, the boot, the bonnet...
- interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a
window, enters the passenger compart-
ment or moves inside the vehicle.
- tilt
The system checks for any change in
the attitude of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is
lifted, moved or knocked.
Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting out
of service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the
central control or the siren wiring are
put out of service or damaged.
For all work on the alarm sys-
tem, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

After the locking button on the remote
control is pressed, the exterior perime-
ter monitoring is activated after a delay
of 5 seconds and the interior volumetric
and anti-tilt monitoring after a delay of
45 seconds. If an opening (door, boot...) is
not closed fully, the vehicle is not
locked but the exterior perimeter
monitoring will be activated af-
ter a delay of 45 seconds at the
same time as the interior volu-
metric and anti-tilt monitoring.

SAFETY
142
The trajectory control systems
offer increased safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems is assured provided
that manufacturer's recommen-
dations are observed on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair proce-
dures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
If this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel and the " ESP OFF
"
indicator lamp in the button come
on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with these systems.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE
CALL
This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
CITROËN service.

The fl ashing and then fi xed
illumination of the under-infl a-
tion warning lamp accompa-
nied by the illumination of the
"service" warning lamp indi-
cates a fault with the system.
Operating fault
The alert is given by the fi xed il-
lumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, and depending on equip-
ment, the display of a message.
Under-inflation alert
The alert is maintained until the
tyre or tyres concerned is rein-
fl ated or repaired.
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not
rely on just a visual check.
This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fi tted
with a sensor.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steer-
ing movements or harsh brake ap-
plications.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equip-
ment),
or
if you have a compressor, the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit for
example, check the four tyre pres-
sures when cold,
or
if it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive care-
fully at reduced speed. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pres-
sures is not assured.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
SYSTEM
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
Activation
Press this button, the indicator lamp
comes on.
Deactivation
Press this button again, the indicator
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 mark-
ing on the ground has been crossed
on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking
on the ground has been crossed on
the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for ap-
proximately 20 seconds after the direc-
tion indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard
marking (e.g. graffi ti) is crossed.
Operating fault
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 be-
tween the markings on the
ground and the road surface.
System which detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffi c lane mark-
ings on the ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front bumper,
trigger a warning if the vehicle drifts
over a lane marking (speed higher than
50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads. In the event of a malfunction,
the service warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
