Emergency braking
The emergency braking must only be used in
exceptional circumstances.If a failure of the DSC system is signalled
by the illumination of this warning lamp,
then braking stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull-
release" actions on the control lever A
.
In the event of a failure of the main
service brake or in an exceptional
situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under
instruction, etc) a continuous pull
on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle.
The DSC system provides stability when
braking during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.
Special situations
To ensure correct operation, and so
your safety, the number of successive
applications and releases of the parking
brake is limited to eight cycles.
If used excessively, you are alerted by
the message "parking brake faulty" and
a flashing warning lamp. In some circumstances (engine start...),
the parking brake may adjust the level
of application itself. This is normal
operation.
To move your vehicle a few centimetres
without starting the engine, with the
ignition on, press the brake pedal and
release the parking brake by pulling
then releasing the control lever A .
Complete release of the parking brake
is indicated by the warning lamps in the
control lever A and in the instrument
panel going off and by the display of the
message "Parking brake off ".

Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.

the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.

top as soon as it is safe to do so. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare

For over 40 year, the TOTAL Research and
Development departments have developed
lubricants for CITROËN, to match the latest technical
innovations on CITROËN vehicles,
both for competition and for everyday motoring.

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).
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 so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
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). 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.
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.checking using the dipstick

section for the location of the dipstick in the
engine compartment of your vehicle.

to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
