FUEL GAUGE COOLANT TEMPERATURE


The needle is positioned before the
red zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.

What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:



- stop immediately, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time, up to
approximately 10 minutes,

- wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:


- wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before
carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped,
check the level on the expansion
bottle,

-
if necessary, remove the cap to top up.

If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of
chapter 6. The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:


- 1:
the fuel tank is full,
approximately 60 litres.

- 0:
the reserve is now being used,
the warning lamp comes on
continuously. The reserve when
the warning fi rst comes on is
approximately 8 litres.

SERVICE INDICATOR

This programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due

Example:
4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few seconds, the screen shows:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation showing the
total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on
and for a few seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the number of miles/
kilometres remaining is displayed: A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation and the
spanner remains on. This indicates that
a service should be carried out shortly.

Service overdue
First of the two terms reached: the
spanner also comes on if the two-year
interval has elapsed.

Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation comes
on; the display for the total distance
recorder gives (in round fi gures) the
distance remaining before the next
service.
The points at which a service is due
are calculated from the last indicator
zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time which has elapsed since
the last service.
The distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by
the time factor, depending on the
type of driving. With the engine running the
spanner remains on until the
service has been carried out. Each time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

,
linked with the
service warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which
could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"

indicates a
malfunction of the
engine oil level
indicator. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
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.

Stop & Start

STOP & START

The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox
, at a speed below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear selector into
position N
. If your vehicle is fi tted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in STOP mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking maoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

- the parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

46
Stop & Start

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts:


- with a manual gearbox
, when you
depress the clutch pedal,

- with the 6-speed electronic
gearbox
:


●
gear selector in position A
or M
,
when you release the brake
pedal,

●
or gear selector in position N
and
the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear selector to
position A
or M
,

●
or when you engage reverse
gear.


Special cases: START invoked
automatically
START is invoked automatically when:


- you open the driver's door,

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with
the 6-speed electronic gearbox,

- the parking brake is being applied,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case the "ECO"

warning lamp fl ashes for few
seconds, then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

With a manual gearbox in STOP mode,
if a gear is engaged without fully
depressing the clutch pedal, a warning
lamp comes on or a message is
displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.

Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the "ECO
OFF"
switch warning lamp
fl ashes, then comes on
continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP
mode, the vehicle may stall. It is then
necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.


Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury resulting
from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a specifi c
battery with a special specifi cation

available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done only by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
