If this warning light comes on, with

an abnormal increase in the coolant
temperature.

Stop immediately.
Check the coolant level.
To do this, wait until the engine has
cooled before topping up the level.
The cooling system is pressurised.
When checking the level, and
to avoid any risk of scald-
ing, unscrew the cap 1/4 of
a turn to allow the pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap.
Then:

1. top up, if necessary
(see "Levels").

contact a CITROËN dealer. Fixed lighting, with the engine run-
ning, indicates one of the following:
- that the handbrake is applied or
has not been released fully, when
the vehicle is moving,
- an excessive drop in the brake fl uid level (if the warning light
remains on even with the hand-
brake released),
- a braking system fault.
