Limit the causes of excess
consumption
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 (en-
gine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe
the schedule of operations recommend-
ed 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 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

The illumination, fi xed or fl
ashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.

MONITORING
Service indicator
This information is displayed for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It 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.
More than 2 000 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears on the
instrument panel central screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 2 000 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The instrument pan-
el central screen indicates the distance re-
maining before the next service is due.
Example:
1 900 miles remain before the
next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example:
500 miles remain before
the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the central screen in-
dicates:
Service overdue
For 7 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes
to indicate that the service must be
carried out as soon as possible.
Example:
the service is overdue by
180 miles.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:
The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.
The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
should have been carried out.

MONITORING
Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indi-
cator must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero
is as follows:
)
switch off the ignition,
)
press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,
)
switch on the ignition; the dis-
tance recorder display begins a
countdown,
)
when the display indicates "=0"
,
release the button; the spanner
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 ac-
count.
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver
whether the engine oil level is cor-
rect or not.
This information is indicated for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the service infor-
mation.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the message
"Oil level incorrect".
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essen-
tial that the level is topped up to pre-
vent damage to the engine.
Oil level gauge problem
This is indicated by the message "Oil
level measurement invalid". Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

MONITORING
Engine oil temperature gauge
Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
.
In this event, slow down, and if neces-
sary, stop the engine and check the
levels (see corresponding section).
Coolant temperature gauge
Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
, the
engine coolant temperature warning
lamp A
and the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop as soon as it is safe
to do so
. Switch off the ignition. The
cooling fan may continue to oper-
ate for a certain time
.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
If the SERVICE
warning lamp comes
on, check the levels (see corre-
sponding chapter). On horizontal ground, illumination of
the fuel low warning lamp indicates
that you are at the reserve level.

ACCESS
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
hicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents
and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
look up the key code and the tran-
sponder code required to order a
new key.
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 work-
ing 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 com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
However, the vehicle unlocks auto-
matically in the event of a serious
impact causing airbag deployment.
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 malfunc-
tions.
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.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
