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 distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,

 when the display indicates "=0" ,

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 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 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 win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sun-
light the interior temperature is exces-
sive, air 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's servic-
ing schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Air vents on the ﬂ oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face 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
a number of sensors (sunlight sen-
sor, outside temperature sensor...)
that relieve you of the need to make
frequent adjustments outside the
displayed temperature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.
