immediately. When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or fl ashes. 
This initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message which appears in the screen. 
  Do not ignore these warnings.

FUEL GAUGE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
 
 
The needle is positioned before the 
red zone: 
 normal operation. 
  In arduous conditions of use or hot 
climatic conditions, the needle may 
move close to the red graduations.    
What you should do if the needle 
enters the red zone: 
 
  Reduce your speed or let the engine 
run at idle. 
   
What you should do if the warning 
lamp comes on: 
 
   
 
-   stop immediately, switch off the 
ignition. The fan may continue to 
operate for a certain time, up to 
approximately 10 minutes, 
   
-   wait for the engine to cool down in 
order to check the coolant level and 
top it up if necessary.  
  As the cooling system is pressurised, 
follow this advice in order to avoid any 
risk of scalding: 
   
 
-   wait at least one hour after 
switching off the engine before 
carrying out any work, 
   
-   unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to 
allow the pressure to drop, 
   
-   when the pressure has dropped, 
check the level on the expansion 
bottle, 
   
-  
if necessary, remove the cap to top up.  
 
If the needle remains in the red 
zone, have the system checked by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
  Refer to the "Levels" section of 
chapter 6. 
  Refer to the "Fuel" section of 
chapter 6.    The fuel level is tested each time the 
key is turned to the "running" position. 
  The gauge is positioned on: 
   
 
-   1: 
 the fuel tank is full, 
approximately 60 litres. 
   
-   0: 
 the reserve is now being used, 
the warning lamp comes on 
continuously. The reserve when 
the warning fi rst comes on is 
approximately 8 litres.

Puncture 
 
The STOP warning lamp comes on. 
  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, 
avoiding any sudden movement of the 
steering wheel and the brakes. 
  Make a temporary repair to the tyre 
using the puncture repair kit or by 
fi tting the spare wheel. 
  Change the damaged wheel, and have 
the tyre pressures checked as soon as 
possible. 
   
Sensor(s) fault or not detected 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  When changing a wheel or in the 
event of a sensor fault, the tyre 
pressure is no longer monitored. 
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop to replace the faulty 
sensor(s). 
  All repairs and changing of tyres on a 
wheel fi tted with this system must be 
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop. 
  If when changing a tyre, you fi t a 
wheel not detected by your vehicle 
(for example: fi tting snow tyres), you 
must have the system reinitialised 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
   
The tyre under-infl ation detection 
system is a driving aid which does 
not take the place of vigilance or the 
responsibility of the driver. 
 
 
 
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION   EMISSIONS CONTROLS   
Deflated tyre 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  Following a warning, the under-infl ation 
of the tyre will not necessarily be 
visible. 
  Check the tyre pressure as soon as 
possible.  
  Refer to the "Changing a wheel" 
section of chapter 7. 
  If the damaged wheel is replaced by 
one without a sensor (for example, 
the spare wheel), the message 
is maintained to indicate that the 
pressure of the wheel cannot be 
monitored, so providing a reminder that 
the damaged wheel with sensor must 
be repaired.     Sensors continuously monitor the tyre 
pressures and trigger a warning in 
the event of under-infl ation, a puncture 
or a fault with a sensor. 
  Any anomaly is 
indicated by visual and 
audible information and 
is accompanied by a 
message in the screen.     
EOBD (European On Board 
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics 
system which complies with, 
among others, the standards 
concerning authorised 
emissions of: 
   
 
-   CO (carbon monoxide), 
   
-   HC (unburnt hydrocarbons), 
   
-   NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, 
detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic converters.  
  The driver is warned of any malfunction 
of this emission control system by the 
illumination of this specifi c warning 
lamp in the instrument panel. 
  There is a risk of damage to the 
catalytic converter. Have it checked 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
   
Good practice 
 
This system does not avoid the need 
to have the tyre pressures checked 
regularly (including the spare wheel),
to ensure that the dynamic 
performance of the vehicle remains at 
its best and to avoid premature wear 
of the tyres, in particular in the case of 
heavy loads and high speeds. 
  Observing the recommended tyre 
pressures helps reduce the vehicle's 
fuel consumption. 
  The system may temporarily be 
disturbed by electro-magnetic 
emissions on a frequency close to that 
used by it.
