System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger
a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane
marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
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 between the
markings on the ground and the road
sur face.
The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every two
hours.

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles with an electric oil
level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section for the location of the dipstick in the
engine compartment of your vehicle.
