FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested every time the
ignition is switched on.
If 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 low fuel warning first comes on when
approximately 6 litres of fuel is left.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
- 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.
EMISSIONS 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 "Checks - Levels" section. Refer to the "Checks - Levels" section.
The driver is warned of any
fault with this emission control
system by flashing of this specific
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
If the needle enters the red zone, or
if the warning lamp comes on:
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.
-
stop immediately
, switch off the ignition.
The cooling fan may continue to operate
for a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

The screen in the instrument panel informs
you when the next service is due, in

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. 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. 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.

39ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.This warning lamp is switched off
after the ignition is switched on
and the key has been recognised,
the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
-
ensure that you are given the confidential
card,
-
have the keys memorised by a CITROËN
dealer to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.
CONFIDENTIAL CARD
This is given to you on delivery of your
vehicle with the duplicate keys.
It contains the identification code necessary
for any work carried out by a CITROËN
dealer on the electronic immobiliser system.
This code is hidden by a film, which should
be removed only if necessary.
