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 BlueHDi Diesel versions, this
alert
is also accompanied by the fixed
illu
mination 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 BlueHDi Diesel 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.

Use
fluids recommended by the
manufacturer
, which meet the DOT4
standard.

and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If
fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked
by a CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Warning lamps
If you have to remove / refit the engine style cover, handle it with
care
to avoid damaging the fixing
clips.

checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)
and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check
the level with the vehicle level,
engine
cold, using the dipstick.

Carbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust.
This
water vapour does not
have any adverse ef
fect on vehicle
handling
or the environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to
check
the thickness of the pads, even
between
services.
Unless
there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop
in the brake fluid level indicates
that
the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer
.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
of the system, the parking
brake
should be adjusted, even between
services.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
An
access
flap
allows
replacement
of
the
filters.
The
carbon
filter
permits
continuous
and
effective
filtering
of
dust.
If
the
passenger
compartment
filter
becomes
blocked,
this
may
reduce
the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
W
e recommend the use of a combined
passenger
compartment
filter.
By
means of its second special active
filter
,
it
contributes
to
the
purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy
deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet
for
the
replacement
interval
for
these
components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...)
and the use of the
vehicle
(urban driving...), change them
twice
as often if necessary.
