1Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.

Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, 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 system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions with a
manual gearbox, the system may suggest
shifting into neutral ( N is displayed on the
instrument panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (STOP mode of
Stop & Start), in certain
driving conditions.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the instrument panel, in the form of an "up" or
"down" arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g.
slope, load) and driving style
(e.g.
power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–
engaging first gear
.
–
engaging reverse gear
.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic 6 or 8-speed gearbox, with electronic management of gear changes. It also offers a
manual mode with sequential gear changes
via control paddles located behind the steering
wheel.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements 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 and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
195
Practical information
7ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely
.
►
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth.
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil
level: the correct level is between marks
A
(max)
and
B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–
above mark
A: contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
– below mark B : top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the
recommendations in the service schedule
supplied with the vehicle (or available from
your CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
illustration.
►
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
W
ait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►
T
op up the level if necessary.
►
After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on
and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes
following an addition of oil.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold, by reading the level on the filler
neck.
Engine coolant
(Diesel)
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark, it
is essential to top it up.
