another warning lamp. It is associated with a punctured tyre
or the engine coolant temperature. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Service temporarily. A minor fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the
screen, such as, for example:
-

t
he closing of the doors, boot, rear screen or
bonnet,
-

t
he remote control battery,
-

t

fixed. A major fault has occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the
screen and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction or fault (warning lamp)
or of the operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information for the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination, fixed or flashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the
following warning lamps indicates a malfunction
or fault which requires action on the part of the
driver.
The illumination of a warning lamp is always
accompanied by the display of an additional
message, to assist you in identifying the fault.
If you encounter any problems, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Warning/indicator lampis on Cause Action / Observations
Low fuel
level fixed.
When it first comes on there remains
approximately 5
litres of fuel in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp wil come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: 71 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, this
could damage the emission control and injection
systems.
Maximum
coolant
temperature fixed red.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the
engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Programmable heating
The programmable heating operates
independently of the engine.
When the engine is off, it pre-heats the coolant
circuit in order to benefit from an optimum
engine operating temperature from the time the
engine is switched on.
The programmable heating system is switched
on using the long range remote control.
Activation can be immediate or deferred by
means of a programming function.The heating system programming remote
control consists of the following buttons and
displays:

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Driving advice
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle. F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering or power
steering and suspension
fluid level
For topping up, it is necessary to go
to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
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 pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
