INFORMATION ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY
D a t a d i s p l a y s
With the ignition on, press the
INFO but-
ton, located on the fascia to the right of
the instrument panel, to display the vari-
ous information displays in succession:
- the distance recorder A,
- the distance recorder B,
- the service indicator,
- the coolant temperature,
- the range,
- the trip computer,
- the setting menu.
This displays the distance
and the number of months
remaining before the next
service to be carried out in
accordance with the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule
(refer to the "Service indica-
tor" section).
Service indicator
When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the
temperature of the cool-
ant (refer to the "Coolant
temperature indicator"
section).
C o o l a n t t e m p e r a t u r e When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the
number of miles (kilo-
metres) which can still
be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank in
relation to the average
consumption over the
last few miles (kilometres) travelled (re-
fer to the "Range" section).
Range
This indicates the aver-
age consumption, the
average speed and the
current consumption (re-
fer to the "Trip computer"
section).
T r i p c o m p u t e r
When the vehicle is
s t a t i o n a r y , this allows
the user to change the
following parameters
(refer to the "Function
parameters" section):
- the display language,
- the temperature dis- play unit,
- the fuel consumption unit,
- the option to reinitialise the aver- age consumption and the average
speed,
- the break (rest) reminder display in- terval.

DISTANCE RECORDERS (A/B)
System for measuring the total dis-
tance travelled by the vehicle during its
service life and the distance travelled in
a day or other period until it is reset to
zero by the driver.
Zero reset
With the ignition on, press the INFO
button for more than 2 seconds until
zeros appear.
When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the tem-
perature of the coolant.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
If the bar is close to the critical position
located on the right, the temperature is
too high.

Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level. The cooling
system is pressurised.
When the engine is
running , this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the
tank in relation to the av-
erage consumption over
the last few miles/kilo-
metres travelled.
RANGE
When the range is less than 30 miles
(50 km) , dashes are displayed.
Fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
The display of the range is updated.
To avoid any risk of scalding, 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, if
necessary.
Consult a CITROËN dealer. T h i s fi g u r e m a y i n c r e a s e f o l l o w i n g a
change in the style of driving or the
relief, resulting in a reduction in the
current consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect. There-

possible.
When you disconnect the battery,
the previous consumption data is
lost and the value displayed will
be different from that displayed before
the battery was disconnected. The dis-
tance displayed must be considered
an approximate indication.

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

s w i t c h e d o f f , e v e n i f t h e e n g i n e i s
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.

Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
