Limit the causes of excessconsumption
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 refi t 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:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consumption
settle down to a consistent average.

MONITORING
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver. Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigat-
ed 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 qualifi ed workshop.

MONITORING
Service indicator
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 parame-
ters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last
service.
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner goes off
; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example:
400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains on
to indicate that a service must be carried
out soon.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 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:
1 739 miles (2 800 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears on the
display.

MONITORING
Following this operation, if you
wish to disconnect the battery,
lock the vehicle and wait at least
fi ve minutes for the zero reset to

Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator
must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
)
switch off the ignition,
)
press and hold the trip distance re-
corder zero reset button,
)
switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,
)
when the display indicates "=0"
,
release the button; the spanner dis-
appears. The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the type of driving.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval.
Service overdue
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes
to in-
dicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.
Example:
the service is overdue by
180 miles (300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains on
.

System which informs the driver wheth-
er the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a

Oil level low
Oil level indicator fault
Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
, linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of damage
to the engine),
- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the grade of oil suited to
your engine.

ACCESS
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate
it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.
