System which informs the driver
when the next service is due, in ac-
cordance 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
parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last
service.

Service indicator zero reset Engine oil level indicator
After each service, the service indi-
cator must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero
is as follows:

 switch off the ignition,

 press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,

 switch on the ignition; the dis-
tance recorder display begins a
countdown,

 when the display indicates "=0" ,
release the button; the spanner
disappears. System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is cor-
rect or not.
This information is displayed for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the service infor-
mation.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.
Oil level correct

Oil level low
This is indicated by the ﬂ ashing of

"OIL" , accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi-
function screen.
If the low oil level is conﬁ rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up to prevent
damage to the engine. Oil level gauge fault
This is indicated by the ﬂ ashing of

"OIL

--" . Contact a CITROËN dealer.
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to lo-
cate the dipstick and the oil ﬁ ller cap
on your engine. There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A = max; never exceed
this level,
- B = min; top up the lev-
el via the oil ﬁ ller cap,
using the type of oil
suited to your engine.
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-
count.

Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
ventilate the passenger compartment
by opening the windows for a few
moments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a ﬁ lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This ﬁ lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle servicing
schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained when
there is a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
For optimum operating efﬁ ciency,
take care not to obstruct the air out-
lets under the front seats.
Air vents
The face-level air vents have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
ﬂ ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
the sunshine sensor located on the
dashboard behind the instrument
panel.
Be careful not to obstruct it.

 When you enter the vehicle, the
temperature inside the vehicle
may be much colder (or warmer)
than is comfortable. There is no
point in modifying the displayed
temperature to try to attain the
desired level of comfort. The
system operates automatically
to correct this temperature differ-
ence as rapidly as possible.

 When starting the engine from
cold, in order to avoid distributing
too much cold air, the blower will
attain its optimum level gradually.
