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.

Trip recorder zero reset button 
 
After this operation, if you wish to 
disconnect the battery, lock the 
vehicle and wait for at least fi ve 
minutes, otherwise the zero re-set will 
not be registered.  
 
 
Zero re-set 
 
Your CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop carries out this operation 
after each service. 
  However, if you carry out the service 
yourself, the re-set procedure is as 
follows: 
   
 
-   switch off the ignition, 
   
-   press and hold the trip recorder 
reset button, 
   
-   switch on the ignition.  
  The display begins a countdown. 
  When the display shows  "=0" 
, release 
the button; the spanner disappears. 
   
Engine oil level indicator 
 
When the ignition is switched on, the 
engine oil level is indicated for a few 
seconds, after the service information.    
Oil level correct  
   
Low oil level 
  Flashing of  "OIL" 
, 
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.     
Dipstick 
   
A 
 = maximum, never exceed 
this level as a surplus of oil 
may damage the engine. 
  Contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop 
without delay. 
   
B 
 = minimum, top up the level 
via the oil fi ller cap, using the 
grade of oil suited to your 
engine.  
 
 
 
Lighting dimmer 
 
With the ignition on, press 
the button until the zeros 
appear.  
  With the lighting on, 
press the button to vary 
the brightness of the 
instruments and controls.

even if slight, may wear the internal 
components of the gearbox over time.  
 
 
Engaging 5 th 
 gear. 
 
Push the gear lever fully to the right to 
engage 5 th   gear.  
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR
 
 
In order to drive as fuel 
effi ciently as possible with a 
manual gearbox, this indicator 
lamp indicates to the driver 
when to change up. 
  The driver remains responsible for 
deciding whether or not to follow this 
indication, since the indicator lamp 
comes on without taking into account 
the confi guration of the road, the 
amount of traffi c and safety factors. 
  The system cannot be deactivated. 
 
 
When reverse gear is engaged 
and when changing down whilst 
decelerating, the function is not active.  
 
 
 
Engaging reverse 
 
To engage reverse gear, wait until the 
vehicle is stationary then push the gear 
lever to the right then back. 
  The lever should be moved slowly to 
reduce the noise on engaging reverse 
gear.

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.

● 
  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.

 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 
and technology (reference numbers 
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.
