FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested every time the
ignition is turned on.
The gauge is positioned on:
- F (Full): the fuel tank is full, approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty): the reserve is now being used, the low fuel warning lamp comes
on continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately:
- 10 litres for 60 and 90 litre tanks,
- 12 litres for 125 litre tanks.
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. 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.
- 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 or a qualified
workshop.
Refer to the "Checks - Fuel" section. Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
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 (nitrous oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly. This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely
affects road holding, extends braking
distances and causes premature tyre
wear, particularly under arduous conditions
(vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission
control system by the illumination
of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section.

34
Instruments and controls
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
- Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
- Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment),
or
- if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for
example, check the four tyre pressures
when cold,
or
- if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed. The loss of pressure detected does
not always lead to visible deformation
of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual
check.
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.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures
is not assured.
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.

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 servicing schedule
indicated in the maintenance and warranty
guide. This information is determined in
relation to the distance travelled since the
previous service.
After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions. A long press returns you to the main menu.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
Deterioration of the engine oil
Refer to the list of checks in the
maintenance and warranty guide
which was given to you on handover of
the vehicle.
Reminder of servicing information
At any time, to access the service indicator,
press briefly on the MODE button.
Use the up/down arrows to see
the scheduling and engine oil wear
information.
Pressing the MODE button again allows
you to return to the various display
menus.

Resetting to zero
The stopping of the permanent flashing of
the indicator is carried out by a qualified
workshop equipped with a diagnostic tool. 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. The warning lamp flashing and,
if your vehicle has the function,
a message displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the engine oil.
Have the oil changed as soon as possible.
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.

Gearbox and steering wheel
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox
over time.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
Your reversing manoeuvre is indicated by an
audible exterior warning.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged and
an audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR
This system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your
seat to the most suitable position.
Unlock the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by pulling the lever towards you.
Adjust the reach of the steering wheel, then
lock the mechanism by pushing the lever
fully forwards. Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the
form of the SHIFT indicator,
accompanied by an upward
arrow to signal to the driver that they can
change up.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking, ...).
Switching off
This system cannot be deactivated by
the driver.
As a safety measure, these operations
must not be carried out while driving.
