Maintenance indicator
System which informs the driver
when the next service is due, in ac-
cordance 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:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on,
the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.
Less than 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates: Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
t h e s p a n n e r fl a s h e s
to indicate that the service must be
carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles/km.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 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. 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation.
The
spanner remains lit
.
More than 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolis-
ing the service operations comes
on. The distance recorder display
line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
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
two year service interval.

ALARM
System which protects and provides
a deterrent against the theft of your
vehicle. It provides two types of pro-
tection, exterior and interior, as well
as an anti-tamper function.
Exterior protection
The system detects opening of the
vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to enter the vehicle by forcing a door,
the boot or the bonnet.
Interior protection
The system detects any variation in
the volume in the passenger com-
partment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window or moves inside
the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehi-
cle or a window partially open, deac-
tivate the interior protection.
Anti-tamper 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.
D o n o t m a k e a n y m o d i fi c a t i o n s t o
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 us-
ing the locking button on the re-
mote control.
The alarm is activated; the indicator
light on button A fl a s h e s o n c e p e r
second.
Deactivation

Deactivation of the interior
protection
Switch off the ignition.
Within ten seconds, press but-
ton A until the indicator light is lit
continuously.
Get out of the vehicle.
Lock or deadlock the vehicle using
the locking button on the remote
control.
The exterior protection alarm alone

In order to be taken into account,
this deactivation must be car-
ried out each time the ignition is
switched off.
Reactivation of the interior
protection
Unlock the vehicle using the
unlocking button on the remote
control.
Relock the vehicle using the re-
mote control.
The alarm is activated again with
both types of protection; the indicator
light on button A switches off.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involun-
t a r y c r o s s i n g o f l o n g i t u d i n a l t r a f fi c
lane markings on the ground (con-
tinuous or discontinuous line).
S e n s o r s , fi t t e d b e l o w t h e f r o n t
bumper, trigger a warning if the vehi-
cle drifts (speed higher than 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
This system operates to its full poten-
tial above all when used on motor-
ways and main roads. Activation
Press button A , the indicator light
comes on.
Deactivation
Press button A again, the indica-
tor light switches off.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of
the driver's seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been
crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the mark- ing on the ground has been
crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for
approximately 20 seconds after the
direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a di-
rection marking (arrow) or non-stand-
a r d m a r k i n g ( g r a f fi t i ) i s c r o s s e d . Operating fault In the event of a malfunction, the service
warning light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver. The detection may be disrupted:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow, ...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
Grand C4
Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load. Operation
- If there is an increase in vehi-
cle load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
p n e u m a t i c s p r i n g s i n fl a t e i n o r -
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
s p r i n g s d e fl a t e t o r e t u r n t h e v e -
hicle to its nominal height.
- If the vehicle has been unused for a long period, the pneumatic
s p r i n g s m a y i n fl a t e i f n e c e s s a r y
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, the automatic correction
will be activated as soon as the ve-
hicle starts to move. During the cor-
rection, the service warning lamp
lights up and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
10 km/h (6 mph).
The automatic correction does not
function if the doors or the boot are
open.
The automatic correction operates
even if your vehicle is in power
economy mode. Activation/Deactivation
The automatic correction can be de-
activated :
press on the button B for approxi-
mately two seconds,
release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is con-

cator lamp on the button B .
In the event of the system mal-
functioning, alert messages,
always in association with the
service warning lamp, will dis-
play in the instrument panel
.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
It is essential that you should deactivate
the system in the following instances:
- working under the vehicle,
- changing a wheel,
- transporting the vehicle on a truck or on a boot.
To reactivate the automatic correc-
tion:
press again on the button B for
approximately two seconds,
release the button when you hear
a b e e p . A c t i v a t i o n i s c o n fi r m e d
