19INSTRUMENTS, CONTROLS and DISPLAYS-
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

A permanently lit warning light or
one fl ashing, with the engine run-
ning, indicates an operating fault
of the unit concerned. The illumi-
nation of certain warning lights
may be accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and a message on the
display. Do not ignore this warn-
ing: consult a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.

If the central STOP warning light
comes on when you are driving,
stop your vehicle immediately,
where it is safe to do so.
Central (STOP)
warning light
Linked to the warning
lights:
- ''engine oil pressure and tempe- rature'',
- ''low coolant level'',
- 'handbrake'',
- ''low brake fl uid level'',
- ''electronic brake force distribu- tion system fault''.
Linked with the "coolant temperature"
indicator.

You must stop if the light fl ashes
with the engine running.
Consult a CITROËN dealer. Engine oil pressure
and temperature
warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning
light.

You must stop.
This warning light indicates one of
the following:
- insuffi cient oil pressure indicated by the message "Oil pressure
insuffi cient" on the display.
- a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the level.
- an oil temperature which is too high. To lower the oil temperature,
reduce your speed.
Lighting of the warning light is ac-
companied by an audible signal.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Low engine coolant
level warning light
Linked to the central (STOP)
warning light.
This comes on for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on.
Lighting of this warning light is ac-
companied by an audible signal and
the message "Top up engine fl uid
level" on the display.

You must stop.
Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level.
The cooling circuit is pressurised. Handbrake, low
brake fluid level and
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution system
fault warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning
light.
This comes on each time the ignition
is switched on.
Lighting of this warning light is ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message on the display indicating
the cause of the warning:
- "Handbrake on", if the hand-
brake is applied or not fully re-
leased.
- "Brake fl uid level low" if there is
an excessive drop in brake fl uid
level (if the warning light remains
on even when the handbrake is
released).
- "Braking fault" is displayed to-
gether with the ABS warning
light, indicating a malfunction of
the Electronic Brake Force Distri-
bution system. You must stop.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
In the event of breakdown and to
pre-
vent any risk of burns, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

- - 3 people.

1 - 5 to 7 people.

2 - 5 to 7 people + maximum author-
ised load.

3 - Driver + maximum authorised

Initial setting is position 0.
Depending on the load in your vehicle,
it is recommended that the headlamp
beam is adjusted.
When stationary, lower the handle to

DRIVING72 -
HANDBRAKE
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warn-
ing light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is moving), indicates that the
handbrake is still applied or has not
been released fully.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.

When this warning light comes
on, connected to the STOP
and ABS warning lights, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.


Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a CITROËN
dealer. When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by a
buzzer, it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.

DRIVING78 - If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a CITROËN
dealer to have the system
checked. The air bags may
no longer be triggered in the event of
a serious impact.
Front air bag malfunction
Disarming the passenger
air bag

To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or se-
riously injured if the air bag were
to infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position. The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the period of dis-
arming.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-
sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.
This is confi rmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by
a message on the display.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this warning
light indicates that the passenger air
bag is disarmed (switch in the "OFF"
position).
If the two air bag warning
lights are lit continuously, do
not install a rear-facing child
seat. Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION102 -
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and ap-
proved from the design stage of your
vehicle and that the fi tting of the towbar
is entrusted to a CITROËN dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle, in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude. Driving advice
Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.


Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.

Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.

Side wind: Take into account the
increased sensitivity to side 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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning per-
mits the recovery of engine power
and therefore an increase in the tow-
ing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.

Distribution of loads: Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without ex-
ceeding it.
