MONITORING
Indicator and warning lamps
Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in
operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of
the occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when
the vehicle's ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same warning lamps
should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the informa-
tion on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may be accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen.
Operation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes on, this confi rms
that the corresponding system has come into operation.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fi xed)
or fl ash.
Certain warning lamps may come on in two different
modes. Only by relating the type of illumination to the
operating status of the vehicle can it be ascertained whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has occurred.

FUEL TANK
Capacity of the tank: approxi-
mately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in
the multifunction screen.
When it fi rst comes on, around 7 litres
of fuel remain in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
this warning lamp comes on every
time the ignition is switched on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message. Depending on the ver-
sion, this audible signal and mes-
sage are repeated with increasing
frequency, as the fuel level drops
towards " 0
".
You must refuel as soon as possible
to avoid running out. A label on the inner face of the fuel
fi ller fl ap reminds you of the type of
fuel to be used, according to your
engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Refuelling
If you are fi lling your tank to the
top, do not persist after the 3rd
cut-off; this could cause mal-
functions.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition with the
key. Opening the fi ller cap may result
in an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
)
Press and hold control A
, situ-
ated on the control panel on the
right hand side of the dashboard
until the fuel fl ap opens automa-
tically.
After switching off the ignition, this

Model with rear foglamp only
Model with front and rear
foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of
their beams may dazzle other dri-
vers. They should only be used in
fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except
for the dipped beam headlamps if
guide-me-home lighting is activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the pres-
ence of misting on the internal sur-
face of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal; it disap-
pears after the lamps have been on
for a few minutes.
Switching on the lamps after
the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
ring A
to the "0"
position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a period that depends on
the state of charge of the battery
(entering energy economy mode).

Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When a low level of ambient light
is detected by a sunshine sensor,
the number plate lamps, sidelamps
and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without
any action on the part of the driver.
They can also come on if rain is de-
tected, at the same time as auto-
matic operation of the windscreen
wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns
to a suffi cient level or after the wind-
screen wipers are switched off, the
lamps are switched off automatically.

Turn ring A
to the "AUTO"
posi-
tion. The activation of the function
is accompanied by a message in
the screen.
Deactivation

than "AUTO"
. Deactivation of
the function is accompanied by a
message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
sunshine sensor, the lamps comes
on, a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an audible
signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Automatic "guide-me-home"
lighting
When the automatic illumination of
headlamps function is activated,
under low ambient light the dipped
beams headlamps come on au-
tomatically when the ignition is
switched off.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor
may detect suffi cient light. Therefore,
the lighting will not come on auto-
matically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, linked with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror;
the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
Programming
The activation and the duration of
the guide-me-home lighting can
be set in the vehicle confi guration
menu.
For a vehicle fi tted with the mono-
chrome screen A, the duration is fi xed.

Deactivation
Press on button 3
.
This action causes the
information "OFF"
to
appear on the instru-
ment panel screen.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A
of the
instrument panel.
Override of the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal is equipped
with an end-of-travel switch. If you
action this switch by pressing the
pedal hard down, you can exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time.
During the time the speed is be-
ing exceeded, the displayed speed
fl ashes.
You have only to release the ac-
celerator pedal to return below the
maximum speed and render the
function active again.
Return to normal driving
)
By moving the control 1
from po-
sition "LIM"
to position 0
.
)
By the engine stopping.
The speed previously chosen is still
memorised.
Operating fault
If there is a speed limiter malfunc-
tion, a message will display accom-
panied by an audible signal and
lighting of the service warning lamp.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. If during the operation of the speed
limiter, the system is unable to keep
within the maximum speed (for ex-
ample on a steep descent or under
heavy acceleration) then the speed
fl ashes. Adapt your speed as neces-
sary.
The function will re-engage when
your speed returns below the de-
sired maximum speed.
On a steep downhill gradi-
ent or on sharp accelera-
tion, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed
speed.
Use of fl oor mats that are not ap-
proved by CITROËN may hinder
access to the accelerator pedal
and thus interfere with the function-
ing of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of interfering with
the pedals:
- check that the fl oor mat is cor-
rectly positioned,
- never use more than one fl oor
mat.
