The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset,
according
to the mileage covered and the time
e
lapsed since the last service.
For
BlueHDi Diesel versions, depending on the
c
ountry of sale, the degree of deterioration of
t
he engine oil may also be taken into account.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears in the screen.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)

Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before t
he next service is due.
For
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
t
he screen indicates:
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due

Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
d
isplayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds,
after the servicing information.
The level read will only be correct if
the
vehicle is on level ground and the
e
ngine has been off for more than
3
0 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the display of the message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen,
accompanied by the service warning
l
amp and an audible signal.
If
the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
t
he dipstick, the level must be topped up to
a
void damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer
to the corresponding section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument
pan
el.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the
oil level is no longer monitored.
If
the system is faulty, you must check the
e
ngine oil level using the manual dipstick
l
ocated under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer
to the corresponding section.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
t
aken ill, under instruction, etc.) a continuous
p
ull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
B
raking takes place while the control lever is
b
eing pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
i
s
r
eleased.
The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
the
vehicle during emergency braking.
If
the emergency braking malfunctions, the
m
essage "Parking brake control faulty" will be
d
isplayed.
If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems occurs,
signalled
by the illumination of one or both
w
arning lamps in the instrument panel, then
s
tability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver
by repeating alternate "pull-release"
a
ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
emergency braking should only be
u
sed in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic
operation.
Reactivation of automatic operation is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
instrument
panel
going
off.
Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather
or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be
n
ecessary to deactivate automatic operation of
the
system.

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
o
il level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using
the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
r
emove it completely.
F
W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
n
on-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
p
ull it out again to make the visual check:
t
he correct level is between the marks A
and B .
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two
services
(or
oil
changes).
CITROËN
r
ecommends
that
you
check
the
level,
and
top-
up
if
necessary,
every
3
000
miles
(5
000
kms).
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.
To
ensure
that
the
reading
is
correct,
y
our
vehicle
must
be
parked
on
a
level
s
ur face
with
the
engine
having
been
off

If you find that the level is above the A
mark or
belo
w the B mark, do not star t the engine.
