List of warning and indicator lamps
Warning/indicator lampState Cause Action/Observations
Red warning/indicator lamps
STOPFixed, associated with another
warning lamp, accompanied
by the display of a message
and an audible signal. Indicates a serious fault with the
engine, braking system, power
steering, automatic gearbox or a
major electrical fault. Carry out (1) and then (2).

pressure Fixed.
There is a fault with the engine oil
lubrication circuit. Carry out (1) and then (2).
Brakes Fixed. The brake fluid level has dropped
significantly. Carry out (1), then top up with brake fluid
that complies with the manufacturer's
recommendations. If the problem persists,
carry out (2).
+ Brakes
Fixed, associated with the
ABS warning lamp. The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system has a
fault. Carry out (1) and then (2).
Parking brake Fixed. The parking brake is applied or not
properly released.
Maximum
coolant
temperature Fixed.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Carry out (1), then wait until the engine
has cooled down before topping up to the
required level if necessary. If the problem
persists, carry out (2).

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible. New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 620 miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing device is used. If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised to enable
vehicle start.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a moment
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
unauthorised engine starting.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
For safety and theft protection reasons,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it with
you.

Driving

144
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.
Engines
Petrol
Diesel
These engines are examples provided as a
guide.
The locations of the following elements may
vary:
-
A
ir filter.
-

E
ngine oil dipstick.
-

E
ngine oil filler cap. 1.
Screenwash fluid reservoir.
2. Engine coolant reservoir.
3. Brake fluid reser voir.
4. Battery.
5. Fusebox.
6. A i r f i l t e r.
7. Engine oil dipstick.
8. Engine oil filler cap.
9. Remote earth point.
The Diesel fuel system operates under
very high pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Checking levels
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.
The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. 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).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
Practical information

146
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Brake fluid change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with
the engine cool. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the coolant.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,
e t c .) .
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
