button for more than 2 seconds until
zeros appear. When the engine is
running, this indicates
the temperature of the
coolant.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
If the bar is close to
the

temperature is too high.
The symbol fl ashes when your engine
is overheating.

It is imperative that you stop your
vehicle safely.

Wait a few minutes before switching
off the engine.
Wait for the engine to cool
before topping up the level. The
cooling system is pressurised.
When the engine is
running , this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average
consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.
RANGE
When the range is less than 30 miles
(50 km) , dashes are displayed.
Fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
The display of the range is updated.
As the cooling system is pressurised, to
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level, if
necessary.
Consult a CITROËN dealer. This fi gure may increase following a
change in the style of driving or the
relief, resulting in a reduction in the
current consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the
value displayed will be incorrect.
Therefore, you must fi ll the tank
whenever possible.
When you disconnect
the battery, the previous
consumption data is lost and
the value displayed will be different
from that displayed before the battery
was disconnected. The distance
displayed must be considered an
approximate indication.

service yourself, the zero reset
procedure is the following:

 switch off the ignition.

 press the INFO button several times
in succession until the service indi-
cator is displayed.

 press and hold the INFO button for
a few seconds until the spanner

ice is due is displayed.
Service overdue
Operation
When the ignition is switched on, you
must press the INFO button several
times in succession until the service
indicator is displayed. The distance
recorder display line indicates the
number of miles (kilometres) remaining
and the time elapsed line indicates the
number of months remaining before the
next service is due.
After a certain distance and a
certain time, the displaying of “---”
is reinitialised and the display
indicates the time remaining before
the next service is due.
System which informs the driver when
the next service is due in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
The point at which the next service is
due is calculated from the last service
indicator zero reset.
It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled (in miles
(km)),
- the time elapsed since the last serv- ice (in months).
The distance remaining to be travelled
may be weighted by the time factor,
depending on the user’s driving habits.
Example: the display indicates that
7300 miles (kilometres) remain before
the next service is due.
The symbol “---” remains displayed
until the fi rst service of a new vehicle
has been carried out.

Example: the display indicates that the
service is overdue. This service must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
Each time the ignition is switched on,
the display
“PERIODIC INSPECTION”
is displayed for a few seconds to
indicate that the service must be carried
out without delay.

compartment filter Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), re-
place them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the “Engines” paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours. Oil filter

idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into
sewers or onto the ground.

nance.
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 services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn. Brake disc wear status
For any information relating
to checking of the brake
disc wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake If the handbrake travel is too
long or if you notice a loss of
effectiveness of this system,
the handbrake must be
adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations. In order to optimise the
operation of units as important
as the braking system,
CITROËN selects and offers very
specifi c products.
