These instruments do not function when the ignition is off, with the exc\
eption of the hazard warning
device (6).

2 - Engine oil pressure warning lamp (2 CV6 only): This lights up when the ignition is switched on
and goes out as soon as the engine is running. If it lights up when driv\
ing, stop the engine
immediately and top up the level of oil if necessary. If the lamp remain\

when driving with the headlamps on, the needle may stay in the white cro\
ss-hatched zone - indication
that the battery is insufficiently charged. In normal circumstances, whe\
n driving, the generator should
charge the battery and within two hours the needle should return to the \
white zone. If this does not
occur, consult a Citroën dealer.
