WARNING LIGHTS
Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lights comes on applying a self-checking test. T hey switch off almost
immediately. When the engine is running: the warnin g light becomes a warning sign if it remains on continuously or flashes. This
initial warning may be accompanied by an audible si gnal and a message on the display. "Do not ignore these warnings."

Instruments and controls
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- F (Full): the fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty): the reserve is now being
used, the warning light comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 11 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
125 litres) are available as an option.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The needle is positioned between
C (Cold) and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. - wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:
the cooling system is pressurised. In order to
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7.
What you should do if the needle enters the
red zone, or if the warning light comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.
EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control
system by the lighting of this specifi c
warning light on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Ventilation
ADDITIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS
Supplementary heating
On the 2-3 seats version, this is located
under the seat on the driver ’s side with air
diffusion directed forwards.
REAR HEATING AND/OR AIR CONDITIONING
If your vehicle is fitted with an
additional air conditioning unit,
located in the rear of the vehicle:
the distribution rail located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
The warm air diffused at the floor, from
the front air conditioning unit, is distributed
at the feet of the rear passengers of
rows 2 and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.
Additional heating
This is an additional passenger compartment
heating system which supplements the
standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Depending on the level of finish of the
equipment, its start-up can be programmed.
Additional heater or programmable heating
This is an additional and autonomous
system which heats the diesel engine hot
coolant loop to make starting easier.
It improves the de-icing and demisting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted in the vehicle.
The passenger compartment heating is
brought up to temperature more rapidly.
This system must be programmed to start up
before you enter the vehicle. On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.
Press this control to activate/
deactivate the heating. The diode
is lit if the heating is activated.
When rapid de-icing and
demisting is required, switch off the control.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it is
fitted using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle and
in accordance with the manufacturer ’s
instructions.
Good practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind
is increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking assistance: the assistance
does not function while the vehicle is towing.

CHECKS
Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and

MAX marks.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
CITROËN dealerships.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion bottle. If more than
1 litre of fl uid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Windscreen wash and headlamp wash level
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.
