which there is no specific warning 
lamp.   Identify the malfunction by reading the message 
displayed in the screen, such as, for example: 
   
 
-   the opening of the doors, boot or bonnet, 
   
-   the engine oil level, 
   
-   the remote control battery, 
   
-   the tyre pressures, 
   
-   saturation of the particle emission filter on 
Diesel vehicles (see "Checks - § Checks/Particle

  This information is displayed for a few seconds 
when the ignition is switched on, at the same 
time as the ser vice information. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Engine oil level indicator 
 
The vehicle must be on level ground 
and the engine must have been off 
for more than 30 minutes for this level 
check to be accurate. 
   
Oil level correct  
   
Oil level incorrect 
 
This is indicated by the flashing of  "OIL" 
 
or the display of a specific message in 
the instrument panel, coupled with the service 
warning lamp and accompanied by an audible 
signal. 
  If the low oil level is confirmed by a check 
using the dipstick, the level must be topped up 
to avoid damage to the engine.  
 
 
Oil level indicator error 
 
This is indicated by the flashing of  "OIL--" 
 
or the display of a specific message in the 
instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN or a 
qualified workshop.  
  There are 2 marks on the 
dipstick: 
   
 
-   A 
 = max; never exceed 
this level (risk of damage to 
the engine), 
   
-   B 
 = min; top up the level via 
the oil filler cap, using the 
correct grade of oil for your 
engine.  
 
 
 
 
Dipstick 
 
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the 
dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.

55Monitoring
  This information is displayed for a few seconds 
after switching on the ignition. It informs the 
driver when the next ser vice is due,
in accordance with the manufacturer's 
servicing schedule. 
  The point at which the ser vice is due is 
calculated from the last ser vice indicator zero 
reset. It is determined by two parameters: 
   
 
-   the distance travelled, 
   
-   the time elapsed since the last ser vice.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Service indicator 
 
 
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) 
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain 
before the next service is due 
  For a few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the spanner symbolising the ser vice 
operations comes on. The distance recorder 
display line or a specific message in the 
instrument panel central screen indicates the 
distance remaining before the next ser vice is due. 
   
For example: 
 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain 
before the next ser vice is due. 
  For a few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the screen indicates: 
   
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain 
before the next service is due 
   
Example: 
 560 miles (900 km) remain before 
the next ser vice is due. 
  For a few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the screen indicates: 
  A few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal 
operation.  The spanner remains on 
 to 
indicate that a ser vice must be carried out 
soon.  
  A few seconds after the ignition is switched on, 
  the spanner goes off 
; the distance recorder 
resumes its normal operation. The screen then 
indicates the total and trip distances.  
 
 
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km) 
remain before the next service is due 
  When the ignition is switched on, no ser vice information 
appears in the instrument panel central screen.   
Page 58 of 400
  A few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal 
operation.  The spanner remains on 
. 
  The distance remaining may be 
weighted by the time factor, depending 
on the type of driving. 
  Therefore, the spanner may also come 
on if you have exceeded the two year 
service interval.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Service indicator zero reset 
 
After each ser vice, the ser vice indicator must 
be reset to zero. 
  The procedure for resetting to zero is as 
follows: 
   
 
 
  switch off the ignition, 
   
 
  press and hold the  ".../000" 
 trip distance 
recorder zero reset button, 
   
 
  switch on the ignition; the distance recorder 
display begins a countdown, 
   
 
  when the screen indicates  "=/0" 
 and the 
spanner disappears, release the button.    This operation cannot be carried 
out while a reminder of the ser vicing 
information is being displayed. 
  Following this operation, if you wish to 
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle 
and wait at least five minutes for the 
zero reset to be registered.  
 
 
Recalling the service information 
 
You can recall the ser vice information at any 
time. 
   
 
 
  Briefly press the  ".../000" 
 trip distance 
recorder zero reset button.  
  The ser vice information is displayed for a 
few seconds, in the total distance recorder 
line or in the type 2 instrument panel 
central screen.  
 
 
 
 
Service overdue 
 
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, 
  the spanner flashes 
 to indicate that the ser vice 
must be carried out as soon as possible. 
   
Example: 
 the ser vice is overdue by 180 miles 
(300 km). 
  For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, 
the screen indicates:

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 compartment. 
  The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window, enters the passenger compartment or 
moves inside the vehicle.  
 
 
 
 
Locking the vehicle with full 
alarm system 
   
- tilt 
 
The system checks for any change in the 
attitude of the vehicle. 
  The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted, 
moved or knocked.  
 
 
 
 
Self-protection function 
 
The system checks for the putting out of 
ser vice of its components. 
  The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central 
control or the siren wiring are put out of service 
or damaged.  
  For all work on the alarm system, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
 
 
Activation 
 
 
 
 
 Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.  
 
 
 Press the locking button on the remote control.   
The monitoring system is active: the indicator 
lamp in the button flashes once per second. 
  After the locking button on the remote control 
is pressed, the exterior perimeter monitoring 
is activated after a delay of 5 seconds and the 
interior volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring after 
a delay of 45 seconds. 
   
Deactivation 
 
 
 
 
  Press the unlocking button on the remote 
control.  
  The alarm system is deactivated: the indicator 
lamp in the button goes off.  
    If an opening (door, boot...) is not 
closed fully, the vehicle is not locked 
but the exterior perimeter monitoring 
will be activated after a delay of 
45 seconds at the same time as 
the interior volumetric and anti-tilt 
monitoring.

Electric parking brake 
 
This system does not require any 
routine ser vicing. However, in the 
event of a problem, have the system 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Only use products recommended by 
CITROËN or products of equivalent 
quality and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of 
units as important as those in the 
braking system, CITROËN selects and 
offers very specific products. 
  After washing the vehicle, dampness, 
or in wintry conditions, ice can form 
on the brake discs and pads: braking 
efficiency may be reduced. Make light 
brake applications to dry and defrost 
the brakes.  
 
 
 
Brake disc wear 
 
For information on checking brake 
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Manual parking brake 
 
If a loss of effectiveness of this 
system is noticed, the parking brake 
must be checked, even between two 
services. 
  Checking this system must be done by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Brake pads 
 
Brake wear depends on the style 
of driving, particularly in the case 
of vehicles used in town, over short 
distances. It may be necessary to 
have the condition of the brakes checked, even 
between vehicle ser vices. 
  Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in 
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake 
pads are worn.  
   
For more information, refer to the "Electric 
parking brake - Operating faults" section.
