Maintenance 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
parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on,
the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.
Less than 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service
is due

Example: 560 miles (900 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates: Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
the spanner ﬂ ashes

The
spanner remains lit .
More than 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service
is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbo-
lising the service operations comes
on. The distance recorder display
line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depen-
ding on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

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 essen-
tial that the level is topped up to pre-
vent 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
locate the dipstick and the oil ﬁ ller
cap on your engine. There are 2 marks on
the dipstick:
- A = max; never ex-
ceed this level,
- B = min; top up the
level 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
account.
