INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
When the engine is running or the vehi-
cle is moving, the lighting of one of the
following warning lights indicates the
occurrence of a fault requiring interven-
tion on the part of the driver.
Central alert.
Lighting is associated with
the displaying of another
warning light:
- braking,
- power steering,
- engine oil pressure,
- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so. Service.
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a problem
in one of the systems which
does not have a specifi c
warning light.
In order to identify it, consult the mes-
sage on the multifunction display.
Check:
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash fl uid level,
- the remote control battery,
- the condition of the bulbs.
For any other situations, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
The illumination of this warning light
may also indicate that the (Diesel) par-
ticle fi lter is starting to get clogged up,
due to specifi c extended urban driving
conditions: low speed, congestion, etc.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you are
advised to drive, once traffi c conditions
allow, at a speed of 40 mph (60 km/h)
or above for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning light goes out). Braking.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in one of
the braking systems:
- signifi cant drop in the level in the cir- cuit,
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) faulty (simultaneous lighting
of the ABS warning light),
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
When the vehicle is moving, check that
the handbrake is fully released.
Any fault resulting in the displaying
of a warning light must be the sub-
ject of further diagnostics by read-
ing the associated message on the
multifunction display.
Should you encounter any prob-
lems, do not hesitate to contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Warning lights
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS).
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the anti-
lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent opera-
tion of the vehicle's assisted braking.
Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR).
The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically when
the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been deactivated,
if this warning light and the indicator light
on the button come on continuously, this
indicates the occurrence of a fault in the
ESP/ASR system.
If the warning light remains on,
contact your CITROËN dealer.
