MONITORING









Service indicator

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. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner
goes
off
; the dis-
tance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 km remain
before the next service is due

Example:
900 km remain 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

to indicate that the service must be
carried out as soon as possible.

Example:
the service is overdue by
300 km.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains on
to indicate that
a service must be carried out soon. 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains
on
.
More than 1 000 km remain
before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbol-
ising the service operations comes
on. The distance recorder display
line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.

Example:
4 800 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, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

MONITORING













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 correct
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 30 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
or a qualifi ed workshop.

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 ex-
ceed this level (risk
of engine damage),

- B
= min; top up the
level via the oil fi ller,
using the type of oil
suited to your en-
gine.


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.

ACCESS
ALARM
System which protects and provides
a deterrent against theft and break-
ins. It provides the following types of
monitoring.

- Exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of
the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to open a door, the boot, the bonnet...



- Interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation
in the volume in the passenger com-
partment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window, enters the pas-
senger compartment or moves in-
side the vehicle.



Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting
out of service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the
central control or the wires of the siren
are put out of service or damaged.

ing will be activated after a delay of
45 seconds at the same time as the
interior volumetric monitoring.
The monitoring system is active: the
indicator lamp in the button fl ashes
once per second.
After the locking button on the re-
mote control is pressed, the exterior
perimeter monitoring is activated
after a delay of 5 seconds and the

LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal traffi c
lane markings on the ground (solid
or broken line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front bum-
per, trigger a warning if the vehicle
drifts over a lane marking (speed
higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads.

Activation



)
Press this button, the indicator
lamp comes on.



Deactivation



)
Press this button again, the indi-
cator lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.


Detection

You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:


- on the right-hand side, if the
marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,

- on the left-hand side, if the marking
on the ground has been crossed
on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a
direction marking (e.g. arrow) or
non-standard marking (e.g. graffi ti)
is crossed.


Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The detection may be impeded:


- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),

- if the markings on the ground
are worn,

-
if there is little contrast between
the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

DRIVING
PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION

Grand
C4 Picasso

C4 Picasso

The pneumatic rear suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load.

Operation



- If there is an increase in vehicle
load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
pneumatic springs infl ate in or-
der to compensate for the extra
weight.

- If there is a decrease in load, a
rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
springs defl ate to return the ve-
hicle to its nominal height.

- If the vehicle has been unused
for a long period, the pneumatic
springs may infl ate if necessary
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, automatic height correc-
tion will be activated as soon as the
vehicle starts to move. During height
correction, the service warning lamp
comes on and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
6 mph (10 km/h).
The automatic correction does not
function if the doors or the boot are
open.
The automatic correction operates
even if your vehicle is in power
economy mode.
Activation/Deactivation
The automatic height correction can
be deactivated:


)
press button B
located on the
left hand boot interior trim for ap-
proximately two seconds,

)
release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is con-
fi rmed by the lighting of the indi-
cator lamp in button B
.

In the event of a system fault,
alert messages, always in asso-
ciation with the service warning
lamp, will appear in the instru-
ment panel . Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

You must deactivate the system in
the following circumstances:


- when working under the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when transporting the vehicle on
a lorry or ferry.
To reactivate automatic height cor-
rection:


)
press button B
again for approxi-
mately two seconds,

CHECKS






CHECKING LEVELS

















Oil level


Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade
for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the interval for this opera-
tion.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.



The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil lev-
el between two services (or oil
changes). CITROËN recommends
that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.

Take care when working
under the bonnet, as cer-
tain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).












Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid
level should be close to the
"MAX" mark. With the engine
cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.


If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
