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

Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles/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 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 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 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, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

Maintenance indicator zero reset Engine oil level indicator
After each service, the maintenance
indicator must be reset to zero.
To do this, carry out the following
procedure:

 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 of
the validity or invalidity of the engine
oil level.
This information is indicated 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
Lack of oil
This is indicated by the ﬂ ashing of

"OIL" , accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display.
If the lack of oil 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--" . Consult 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 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.

ALARM
System which protects and provides
a deterrent against the theft of your
vehicle. It provides two types of pro-
tection, exterior and interior, as well
as an anti-tamper function.
Exterior protection
The system detects opening of the
vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to enter the vehicle by forcing a door,
the boot or the bonnet.
Interior protection
The system detects any variation in
the volume in the passenger com-
partment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window or moves inside
the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the ve-
hicle or a window partially open, de-
activate the interior protection.
Anti-tamper function
The system detects the putting out
of service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to put the wires of the siren, the central
control or the battery out of service.
Do not make any modiﬁ cations to
the alarm system, this could cause
malfunctions. Locking the vehicle with full

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
tary crossing of longitudinal trafﬁ c
lane markings on the ground (con-
tinuous or discontinuous line).
Sensors, ﬁ tted below the front
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system operates to its full
potential above all when used on
motorways and main roads. Activation

 Press button A , the indicator light
comes on.
Deactivation

 Press button A again, the indica-
tor light switches 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 mark- ing 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 (arrow) or
non-standard marking (grafﬁ ti) is
crossed. Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the
service warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver. The detection may be disrupted:
- 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.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION

Grand
C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load. Operation
- If there is an increase in vehi-
cle 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, the automatic correction
will be activated as soon as the ve-
hicle starts to move. During the cor-
rection, the service warning lamp
lights up and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
10 km/h (6 mph).
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 correction can be
deactivated:

 press on the button B for approx-
imately two seconds,

 release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is
conﬁ rmed by the lighting of the
indicator lamp on the button B .

In the event of the system mal-
functioning, alert messages,
always in association with the
service warning lamp, will dis-
play in the instrument panel .
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
It is essential that you should
deactivate the system in the following
instances:
- working under the vehicle,
- changing a wheel,
- transporting the vehicle on a
truck or on a boot.
To reactivate the automatic correction:

 press again on the button B for
approximately two seconds,

 release the button when you hear
a beep. Activation is conﬁ rmed
by the extinction of the indicator
lamp on the button B .
