Instruments and controls
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the
last service. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a
few seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number
of miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly. The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the type of driving.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition
is switched on and for a few seconds, the
screen shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
Good practice
This system does not avoid the need to
have the tyre pressures checked regularly
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that
the dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid premature
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of
heavy loads and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre pressures
helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be disturbed by
electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency
close to that used by it. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fitted with this system must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If when changing a tyre, you fit a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not take the
place of vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter
The carbon filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By means of
its second special active filter, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet
to find out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
