Engine oil level indicator*
Oil level correct
Oil level lowOil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric oil
gauge, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
While the system is faulty, you should
check the engine oil level using the
dipstick located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
This is indicated by the flashing of " O I L"
, linked
with the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen.
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. This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL- -"
.
Contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
gauge, information on the engine oil level is
displayed for a few seconds in the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on, after the

Vertical windscreen wiper
position
Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically,
without any action on the part of the driver, if rain
is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror),
adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver by
pushing the stalk downwards to the "AUTO"
position.
It is accompanied by a message in the screen. This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement
without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the wiper stalk positions
the wipers vertically.
To park the wipers after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver by
moving the stalk upwards then returning it to
position "0"
.
Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction occurs, the
wipers will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a CITR
oËn
dealer or a
qualified workshop. It is accompanied by a message in the
screen.
The automatic rain sensitive wipers
must be reactivated if the ignition has
been off for more than one minute, by
pushing the stalk downwards.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, to avoid damaging the wiper
blades, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.
To retain the effectiveness of the flat
wiper blades, it is advisable to:
-
h
andle them with care,
-
c
lean them regularly using soapy
water,
-
n
ot use them to hold a sheet of
cardboard against the windscreen,
-
