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 param-
eters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
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:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
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:
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 nor-
mal operation. The spanner remains on
to indicate that a service must be carried
out soon.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser-
vice information appears in the screen.

MONITORING
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 normal operation. The
spanner remains on
.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending on the driver's driving
habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded
the two year service interval.
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 re-
corder display begins a countdown,
)
when the display indicates "=0"
,
release the button; the spanner dis-
appears.
Retrieving the service information
You can access the service information
at any time.
)
Press the trip distance recorder zero
reset button.
The service information is displayed
for a few seconds, then disappears.
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
be taken into account.

MONITORING
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.
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a
few seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
Oil level correct
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.
Oil level low
This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL
--"
.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Oil level indicator fault
Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),
- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the grade of oil suited to
your engine.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.

ACCESS
ALARM
System which protects and provides a
deterrent against the theft of your vehi-
cle. It provides two types of protection,
exterior and interior, as well as a self-
protection function.
Exterior perimeter protection
The system detects opening of the ve-
hicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to
enter the vehicle by forcing a door, the
boot or the bonnet.
Interior volumetric protection
The system detects any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks
a window or moves inside the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle
or a window partially open, deactivate
the interior volumetric protection.
Self-protection function
The system detects the putting out of
service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to put the wires of the siren, the central
control or the battery out of service.
Do not make any modifi cations
to the alarm system, this could
cause malfunctions.
Locking the vehicle with full alarm
Activation
)
Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.
)
Lock or deadlock the vehicle using
the locking button on the remote
control.
The alarm is activated; the indicator lamp
in button A
fl ashes once per second.
The exterior perimeter protection is ac-
tivated, 5 seconds after the locking but-
ton on the remote control is pressed.
The interior volumetric protection is acti-
vated, 45 seconds after the locking button
on the remote control is pressed. If an opening - door or boot - is
not closed fully, the vehicle is not
locked, but the exterior perim-
eter protection will be activated
after 45 seconds at the same
time as the interior volumetric
protection.
Deactivation
)
Unlock the vehicle using the unlock-
ing button on the remote control.
The alarm is deactivated; the indicator
lamp in button A
goes off.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the igni-
tion is switched on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil grade
The oil must be suitable for your en-
gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the igni-
tion off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may ope-
rate after the vehicle has been switched
off, even if the engine is cold.
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 any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when neces-
sary.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Take care when carrying out
checks under the bonnet as
some parts of the engine can be
very hot (risk of burns).
It is normal to top up the engine oil
between services. CITROËN recom-
mends that you check the oil level and
top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kilometres).
