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.

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.

CHECKS
189






CHECKING LEVELS


Take care when working under
the bonnet, as certain areas of
the engine may be extremely hot
(risk of burns) and the cooling
fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).


The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine has been
off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.


















Oil level


Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.











Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the interval for this
operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, un-
screw the cap to check the level.











Coolant level


The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the maintenance and warranty
guide. Top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.








The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing
that might become caught by the
fan blades.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
