INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

A permanently lit warning light
or one fl ashing, with the engine
running, indicates an operating
fault of the unit concerned. The
illumination of certain warning
lights may be accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the display. Do not ignore this war-
ning: 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 tempera- ture'',
- ''low coolant level'',
- 'handbrake'',
- ''low brake fl uid level'',
- ''electronic brake force distribution 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 acco-
mpanied 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 acco-
mpanied 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 acco-
mpanied by an audible signal and a
message on the display indicating
the cause of the warning:
- "Handbrake on", if the handbrake
is applied or not fully released.
- "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 pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION84 -
CHECKING THE LEVELS
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
CITROËN network. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer’s requirements.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a parti-
cle fi lter, the engine fan may operate
after the ignition has been switched
off, even when the engine is cold.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this
mark.

B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited. Brake fluid level:
The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.

Note: brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Power steering reservoir

 Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
CITROËN .
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dipstick.
