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 coolant level and 
top it up if necessary
.
As the cooling system is pressurised, 
follow the procedure below to avoid the 
risk of scalding:
-  
wait at least one hour after 
switching of
f the engine before 
carrying out any work,
-  
unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to 
allow the pressure to drop,
-
  
when the pressure has dropped, 
check the level in the header tank,
-
 if necessary , remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red 
zone, have the system checked by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

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 
(depending on version), 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 flashes and the number of 
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
a few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed 
(depending on version), 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 figures) 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.
For BlueH
d i  d iesel versions, this 
alert is also accompanied by the fixed 
illumination of the Service warning 
lamp, on switching on the ignition. Each time the ignition is 
switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner 
flashes and the excess 
distance is displayed.
For BlueH
d i  d iesel versions, the 
spanner can also come on early, 
according the level of deterioration 
of the engine oil. Deterioration of the 
engine oil depends on the conditions of 
use of the vehicle.
