Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.

esel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by
reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the
following warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver.Warning /indicator lampis on Cause Action / Observations
STOP fixed, alone or
associated with
another warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and
a message on the
screen. Illumination of the warning lamp is
associated with a serious braking
system or engine coolant temperature
problem.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine may
cut out when driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Service temporarily. Minor problems have occurred for
which there is no specific warning
lamp.
Identify the problem by reading the message shown in the
screen, such as, for example:
- the engine oil level,- the screenwash level,- the remote control battery,- saturation of the particle emission filter on di esel vehicles
(refer to the "Particle emissions filter (di esel)" section).
For any other faults, contact a CITR

an audible signal and
a message. The pressure in one or more wheels

System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset. It
is determined by two parameters:
-
t
he distance travelled,
-
t
he time elapsed since the last service.Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The distance recorder
display line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.
Example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the display indicates:
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off ; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total and trip distances. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
to
indicate that a service must be carried out
soon.
More than 1800 miles (3000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.

Service indicator zero reset
after each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
F
s
witch off the ignition,
F
p
ress and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
F
s
witch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
F
w
hen the display indicates "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
Retrieving the service
information
You can access the service information at any
time.
F
P
ress the trip distance recorder zero reset
button.
T
he service information is displayed for a
few seconds, then disappears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
maintenance and warranty guide. Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be taken into account.

Engine oil level
indicator*
On vehicles fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, information on the oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on, after
the service information.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by the flashing of " O I L",
accompanied by illumination of the service
warning lamp, an audible signal and a
message.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level low
This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL- -" .
Contact a CITRoËn dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric oil level
indicator, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
While the system is faulty, you should check
the engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level indicator fault
The level shown will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
