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,
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.
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 fi gures) 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.
Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

Trip recorder zero reset button
After this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock
the vehicle and wait for at least
fi ve minutes, otherwise the zero re-set
will not be registered.
Zero re-set
Your CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop carries out this operation
after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:
- switch off the ignition,
- press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,
- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0"
, release
the button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for a few
seconds, after the service information.
Oil level correct
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 confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
indicator. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
Dipstick
A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop
without delay.
B
= minimum, top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.
With the lighting on,
