FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "ignition on" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- f
(full):
the capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres
.
- e
(empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the warning lamp comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 6 litres.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between
c
(cold)
and
h
(hot):
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
- wait approximately 15 minutes to allow
the engine to cool down in order to check
the level and top it up if necessary. The
cooling system is pressurised. In order to
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to
drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN or a qualified workshop. EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which meets the exhaust
emissions standards for:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles detected
by oxygen sensors placed upstream and
downstream of the catalytic converters.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7. Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
The driver is warned of any
fault with this emission control
system by flashing of this specific
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone, or if the warning
lamp comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The cooling fan may continue to operate
for a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

SERVICE INDICATOR
ENGINE OIL WARNING LAMP
LIGHTING DIMMER
The dimmer is active when the sidelamps
are on. Refer to the list of checks in the
maintenance and warranty guide which
was given to you on delivery of the
vehicle.
After a few seconds, the screen returns to its
usual functions.
Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument
panel and the audio system panel
lighting.
The screen in the instrument panel informs
you when the next service is due, in
accordance with the Manufacturer's servicing
schedule indicated in the maintenance
and warranty guide. This information is
determined in relation to the distance
travelled since the previous service.
Low engine oil pressure
Oil deterioration (1.3 HDi 75 hp engine only) The warning lamp comes on
continuously, accompanied by a
message in the instrument panel screen,
when the system detects that the oil
pressure is too low.
The warning lamp flashes,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, when the system
detects deterioration of the engine oil. The
flashing of this warning lamp should not be
considered as a fault wit the vehicle, but
rather as an indication to the driver that the
normal use of the vehicle now requires that
the oil be changed.
If the oil is not changed, when a
second level of deterioration is
reached, the emissions warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel and
the engine speed is restricted to 3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third
level of deterioration is reached, the engine
speed is restricted to 1500 rpm, so as to
avoid any damage. To avoid damaging the engine, it is
recommended that the oil be changed
on flashing of the engine oil warning lamp.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so: park,
switch off the ignition and contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Access
ALARM
This provides:
- exterior perimeter protection by means of
detectors on the doors and bonnet and
on the electrical supply,
- interior protection,
- anti-tilt protection,
- protection against the unauthorised
insertion of a key in the starter.
The equipment includes a siren.
Activation of the alarm
First ensure that all of the accesses are
closed correctly.
The alarm is activated by
pressing this control, the
protection is active after a
few seconds.
While the alarm is monitoring, any intrusion
triggers the siren for approximately
30 seconds, accompanied by illumination of
the direction indicators.
The alarm then returns to monitoring mode.
The alarm is also triggered following an
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is
restored.
Deactivation using the remote control
Deactivation using the key
Unlock the doors using the key and enter
the vehicle. Switch on the ignition to the
RUNNING position, identification of the key
code will switch off the alarm.
Deactivation of the volumetric and
anti-tilt protection
Good practice
To quickly deactivate the siren following
unwanted triggering, unlock the vehicle
using the remote control.
To avoid setting the alarm, before washing
the vehicle for example, lock the vehicle
using the key.
When this button is pressed, the
alarm is deactivated when the
vehicle is unlocked.
Signalling of attempted intrusion
When you return to your vehicle,
flashing of the electronic engine
immobiliser warning lamp or
the appearance of a warning
message in the instrument panel display
indicates an attempted intrusion during your
absence.
To deactivate the volumetric
and anti-tilt protection, press the
button located in the vehicle's
courtesy lamp. To be effective,
this operation must be repeated every time
the ignition is switched off.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change gear on
vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the volume of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice given by
the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of the
word SHIFT
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an up arrow for changing
up or a down arrow for changing down
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (firm pressure
on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
