FUEL GAUGECOOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the
red zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations. What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.
What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:
-

stop immediately
, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time, up to
approximately 10 minutes,
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary

.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:
-
wait at least one hour after
switching of

f the engine before
carrying out any work,
-
unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,
-

when the pressure has dropped,
check the level on the expansion
bottle,
-


if necessary
, remove the cap
to top up.
If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Refer to chapter 7, "Levels"
section.
Refer to chapter 7, "Fuel" section.
The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
-

1:

the fuel tank is full,
approximately 60 litres.
-

0:

the reserve is now being used,
the warning lamp comes on
continuously. The reserve when
the warning first comes on is
approximately 8 litres.

UNDER-INFLATION DETECTIONEMISSIONS CONTROLS
System which
automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres
while driving.
E
obd
(European
o
n
Board

Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which
complies with, among
others,

the standards
concerning authorised emissions of:
-

CO (carbon monoxide),
-


HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-


NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The

driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver

.This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification
markings" section.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

The alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinflated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or
a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely
on just a visual check.The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.The flashing and then
fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "Service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
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
steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
-


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
equipment),
or
-


if you have a compressor

, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
-


if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.
This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop

to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with
a sensor, refitted.

SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle.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:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), 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 flashes and the number
of miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance recorder resumes normal
operation and the spanner remains on.
This indicates that a service should be
carried out shortly.
Service overdue
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.
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. The distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by
the time factor

, depending on the
type of driving. With the engine running the spanner
remains on until the service has been
carried out.
For
b lueH d i d iesel versions, this
alert is also accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the Service warning
lamp, on switching on the ignition. Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
flashes and the excess
distance is displayed.
For
b lueH d i d iesel versions, the
spanner can also come on early,
according the level of deterioration
of the engine oil. Deterioration of the
engine oil depends on the conditions of
use of the vehicle.

Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL",
linked with the
service warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which
could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.
Oil level gauge

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
mode - during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
-

with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-

with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox

, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-

the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-

the vehicle has not exceeded

6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
-

demisting is on,
-

some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the
"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
