Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
STOP Fixed, associated
with another warning
lamp. It is associated with the engine
oil pressure or the engine coolant
temperature. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake Fixed. The parking brake is applied or not
properly released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warning
lamp; keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Observe the safety recommendations.
For more information on the Parking brake
, refer to
the corresponding section.
Brakes Fixed. The brake fluid level has dropped
significantly. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fluid approved by CITROËN.
If the problem persists, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Fixed, associated
with the ABS warning
lamp. The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system has a
fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Driver's seat belt
not fastened or
unfastened /

still open. Close the door or boot.
Fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal if the
speed is above 6
mph
(10


km/h).
Engine fault Fixed red. The engine has a major fault causing
a breakdown. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop .
Battery charge
Fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack
or cut alternator belt, etc.). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
pressure Fixed.
The engine lubrication system has
a fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Maximum
coolant
temperature Fixed red.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up to the required level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.

To avoid damaging the electrical units,
never use a high-pressure jet wash in the
engine compartment.
The diesel circuit is under very high
pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.

Practical information

115
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the components of the system (pump, reser voir,
pipes, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive level
(with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of the ser vice warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
