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 display shows:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
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
fl ashes and the number of miles/
kilometres remaining is displayed: A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation and the
spanner remains lit. This indicates that
a service should be carried out shortly.
Service overdue
First of the two terms reached: the
spanner also lights up if the two-year
interval has elapsed.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation lights
up; the display for the total distance
recorder tells you (in round fi gures)
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
driver’s driving habits. With the engine running the
spanner remains lit until the
service has been carried out.
Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

Instruments and controls Trip recorder zero
reset button
After this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock
the vehicle and wait for at least
fi ve minutes, otherwise the zero re-set
will not be registered.
Zero re-set
Your CITROËN dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:
- switch off the ignition,
- press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,
- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for a few
seconds, after the service information. Oil level correct
Lack of oil
Flashing of
"OIL" ,
linked with the
service warning light,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
display, indicates a lack of oil which
could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that
the level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a
malfunction of the
engine oil level gauge.

Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes. Dipstick

A = maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
without delay.

B = minimum, top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the type of oil suited to your
engine.

Gearboxes and steering wheel
GEARBOX
5-speed - reverse gear gearbox
To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time. To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle is stationary then push the gear
lever to the right then down.
The lever should be moved slowly
to reduce the noise on engaging
reverse gear.
When the vehicle is stationary, unlock
the steering wheel by pulling the lever.
Adjust the height and depth of the
steering wheel, then lock by pushing
the lever fully.

HILL START ASSISTANCE
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts
to roll back and without using the
handbrake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the typical
noise of mechanical disengaging of
the brakes can be heard, indicating the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Anomaly
The hill start assistance is deactivated
in the following situations:
- when the clutch pedal is released,
- when the handbrake is applied,
- when the engine is switched off,
- when the engine stalls.
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning light
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message on
the display. Contact a CITROËN dealer
to have the system checked.
This function, linked with the ESP,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:
- the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,
- the gradient of the road must be steeper than 5 %,
- uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
- downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
