DRIVING POSITION
Dashboard Instruments

With the exception of the warning lamps for engine oil pressure (2) an\
d hazard warning device (6),
the illumination of the following dashboard instruments is controlled by\
the exterior lighting switch.
These instruments do not function when the ignition is off, with the exc\
eption of the hazard warning
device (6).
1 - Speedometer: The red marks indicate maximum speed permitted in each gear.
2 - Engine oil pressure warning lamp (2 CV6 only): This lights up when the ignition is switched on
and goes out as soon as the engine is running. If it lights up when driv\
ing, stop the engine
immediately and top up the level of oil if necessary. If the lamp remain\
s alight despite the oil level
being correct, stop again and contact a Citroën dealer.
3 - Fuel gauge: Tank capacity: 4 1/2 Imp. Gal. (20 litres)
4 - Total mileage indicator
5 - Charge indicator: At normal engine running speed, the needle should remain in the white se\
ctor.
If the needle should remain in either of the red sectors, consult a Citr\
oën dealer. It is possible that,
when driving with the headlamps on, the needle may stay in the white cro\
ss-hatched zone - indication
that the battery is insufficiently charged. In normal circumstances, whe\
n driving, the generator should
charge the battery and within two hours the needle should return to the \
white zone. If this does not
occur, consult a Citroën dealer.
6 - Hazard warning lamp: Flashes throughout the operation. If it does not function, check the
direction indicators.
