Instruments and controls


FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:


- F (Full):
the fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 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 11 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
125 litres) are available as an option.
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 for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:
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 dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7.
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 fan may continue to operate for a
certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.
EMISSION CONTROL

EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:


- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of
any malfunction of this emission
control system by the lighting of
this specific warning lamp on the
instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

Instruments and controls
SERVICE INDICATOR
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising the
service indicator comes on: the screen
informs you when the next service is due,
in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined in
relation to the distance travelled since the
previous service.
LIGHTING RHEOSTAT
The rheostat is active when the lighting
is on. After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions.
Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument panel.
There are 8 levels. A long press returns you to the main menu.
Refer to "Mode" section of chapter 4.

Resetting to zero
The stopping of the permanent flashing of
the indicator is carried out by an repairer
equipped with a diagnostic tool.

Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on handover of the vehicle. For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine speed
is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then 1 500 rpm
until the oil change is done. Have the engine
oil changed to avoid any risk of damage.

This 2 nd warning lamp, coupled with
the 1 st , comes on in the instrument
panel when the oil has not been
changed and the deterioration of the
oil has reached another threshold. To
avoid the risk of damage, have the oil
changed without waiting for this level.

Starting and stopping
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP 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 and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.
STOP & START

peration

Going into engine STOP mode


- The "S"
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby. With the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever
into neutral, then release the
clutch pedal.

Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.

Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.


Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
The STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the system is initialising,

- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the air conditioning is running,

- the heated rear screen is on,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- reverse gear is engaged, for a parking
manoeuvre,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.


The "S"
warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds, then goes off.

Starting and stopping


Going into engine START mode


- The "S"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine restarts.
If following an automatic restart in START
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. The
engine can then only be restarted using the
key.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
The START mode is invoked automatically
when:


- the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,

- the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

- the air conditioning is running,

- the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,

- 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, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S"
warning
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

Good practice


With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
A warning lamp or message is displayed
in the instrument panel asking you to fully
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting.
With the engine stopped in STOP mode,
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and
opens a front door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key. There is an
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of
the "S"
warning lamp and, depending on
equipment, a message is displayed.


This operation is perfectly normal.

With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.

instrument panel screen .
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral.
Maintenance


Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.

This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
Refer to part 8 in the "Battery" section.

The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers.
