MONITORING
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two param-
eters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last ser- vice.
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner goes off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances. Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains on
to indicate that a service must be carried
out soon.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before
the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising the
service operations comes on. The distance
recorder display line indicates the distance
remaining before the next service is due.

Example: 1 739 miles (2 800 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser-
vice information appears on the display.

MONITORING
Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait at least fi ve minutes
for the zero reset to be taken into ac-

must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:

 switch off the ignition,

 press and hold the trip distance re-
corder zero reset button,

 switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,

 when the display indicates "=0" , re-
lease the button; the spanner disap-
pears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the type of driving.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.
Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
the spanner fl ashes to in-
dicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.

Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles (300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:

"OIL" , linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL

--" . Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine. There are 2 marks on the

via the oil fi ller cap, using
the grade of oil suited to
your engine.
