FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "ignition on" position.
The gauge is positioned on:


- f
(full):
the capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres
.

- e
(empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the warning lamp comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 6 litres.

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 approximately 15 minutes to allow
the engine to cool down in order to check
the level and top it up if necessary. 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 or a qualified workshop. EMISSION CONTROL

EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which meets the exhaust
emissions standards for:


- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles detected
by oxygen sensors placed upstream and
downstream of the catalytic converters.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7. Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
The driver is warned of any
fault with this emission control
system by flashing of this specific
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone, or if the warning
lamp comes on:


- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The cooling fan may continue to operate
for a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

SERVICE INDICATOR

ENGINE OIL WARNING LAMP

LIGHTING DIMMER

The dimmer is active when the sidelamps
are on. Refer to the list of checks in the
maintenance and warranty guide which
was given to you on delivery of the
vehicle.
After a few seconds, the screen returns to its
usual functions.
Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument
panel and the audio system panel
lighting.
The screen in the instrument panel informs
you when the next service is due, in
accordance with the Manufacturer's servicing
schedule indicated in the maintenance
and warranty guide. This information is
determined in relation to the distance
travelled since the previous service.
Low engine oil pressure

Oil deterioration (1.3 HDi 75 hp engine only) The warning lamp comes on
continuously, accompanied by a
message in the instrument panel screen,
when the system detects that the oil
pressure is too low.
The warning lamp flashes,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, when the system
detects deterioration of the engine oil. The
flashing of this warning lamp should not be
considered as a fault wit the vehicle, but
rather as an indication to the driver that the
normal use of the vehicle now requires that
the oil be changed.
If the oil is not changed, when a
second level of deterioration is
reached, the emissions warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel and
the engine speed is restricted to 3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third
level of deterioration is reached, the engine
speed is restricted to 1500 rpm, so as to
avoid any damage. To avoid damaging the engine, it is
recommended that the oil be changed
on flashing of the engine oil warning lamp.


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so: park,
switch off the ignition and contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Access

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.
This warning lamp is switched off
after the ignition is switched on
and the key has been recognised,
the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

Good practice

Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:


- ensure that you are given the confidential
card,

- have the keys memorised by a CITROËN
dealer to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.

CONFIDENTIAL CARD

This is given to you on delivery of your
vehicle with the duplicate keys.
It contains the identification code necessary
for any work carried out by a CITROËN
dealer on the electronic immobiliser system.
This code is hidden by a film, which should
be removed only if necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside
the vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you
along with your personal papers.
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger
compartment by the emergency services
more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

ALARM

This provides:


- exterior perimeter protection by means of
detectors on the doors and bonnet and
on the electrical supply,

- interior protection,

- anti-tilt protection,

- protection against the unauthorised
insertion of a key in the starter.
The equipment includes a siren.


Activation of the alarm

First ensure that all of the accesses are
closed correctly.
The alarm is activated by
pressing this control, the
protection is active after a
few seconds.
While the alarm is monitoring, any intrusion
triggers the siren for approximately
30 seconds, accompanied by illumination of
the direction indicators.
The alarm then returns to monitoring mode.
The alarm is also triggered following an
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is
restored.


Deactivation using the remote control

Deactivation using the key

Unlock the doors using the key and enter
the vehicle. Switch on the ignition to the
RUNNING position, identification of the key
code will switch off the alarm.


Deactivation of the volumetric and
anti-tilt protection
Good practice

To quickly deactivate the siren following
unwanted triggering, unlock the vehicle
using the remote control.
To avoid setting the alarm, before washing
the vehicle for example, lock the vehicle
using the key.
When this button is pressed, the
alarm is deactivated when the
vehicle is unlocked.


Signalling of attempted intrusion

When you return to your vehicle,
flashing of the electronic engine
immobiliser warning lamp or
the appearance of a warning
message in the instrument panel display
indicates an attempted intrusion during your
absence.
To deactivate the volumetric
and anti-tilt protection, press the
button located in the vehicle's
courtesy lamp. To be effective,
this operation must be repeated every time
the ignition is switched off.

Steering mounted controls


Headlamp beam

You are advised to adjust the height of the
headlamp beams in accordance with the load in
your vehicle.
This function can only be accessed in the main
beam headlamps and dipped headlamps position.
Press these controls, located
on the dashboard, several times
in succession to adjust the
headlamps.

Foglamps

The controls are located in the dashboard
switch panel.


Front and rear foglamps

The foglamps should only be used in
fog or when snow is falling.
In clear weather or in rain, both day and
night, lit rear fog lamps dazzle and are
prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer necessary.


Guide-me-home lighting

The temporary maintaining of the dipped
beam headlamps, after switching off the
vehicle's ignition, makes the driver's exit
easier when the light is poor by illuminating
the space in front of the vehicle.

Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position
or removed, pull the lighting stalk towards
the steering wheel within 2 minutes after
switching off the engine.
Each time the control is operated, the
duration for which the lamps will remain
on is extended by 30 seconds, up to a
maximum of 210 seconds. Once this period
of time has elapsed, the lamps switch off
automatically.

Deactivation
Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering
wheel for more than 2 seconds. The front foglamps operate with
the sidelamps and the dipped
beam headlamps.
The rear foglamps operate with
the dipped beam headlamps.
Press one of these controls to switch on the
lamps. The warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in the
screen, the first time the control is
operated and remains on until the
function is deactivated automatically. An indicator lamp in the screen
indicates the adjustment position
selected (0, 1, 2, 3).

Steering mounted controls


Changing the programmed speed
There are two methods of memorising a
speed higher than the previous one:

Switching the function off



- Place the ring in the
OFF
position or switch
off the ignition to switch
everything off.



Cancelling the programmed speed

When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.


Operating fault

If the system does not operate correctly, turn
the ring to the OFF position and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Good practice

When changing the programmed speed by
means of a maintained press, pay attention as
the speed can increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
Never engage neutral while the system is
operating.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,

- never place one mat on top of another.
Without using the
accelerator:


- move the control up (+).
Each brief press increases
the speed by 1 mph (km/h).
Using the accelerator:


- exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,

- move the control up (+) for at least one
second, then release it.
To memorise a speed lower
than the previous one:


- move the control
down (-); the new speed
will be memorised
automatically.

A brief press decreases the speed by 1 mph (km/h). A maintained press decreases the speed gradually.

A maintained press increases the speed
gradually.
FIXED SPEED LIMITER

This function allows a fi xed maximum speed
limit to be set for the vehicle (according to
version and only on the 1.3 HDi 75 hp engine).
The maximum speed can be set to one of
4 pre-defined values: 56, 62, 68 or 80 mph
(90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h).

A label in the passenger compartment
indicates the presence of this function
and its setting.
This function cannot be deactivated or set
by the driver.

Gearbox and steering wheel














GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change gear on
vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.

Operation

The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the volume of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice given by
the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of the
word SHIFT
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an up arrow for changing
up or a down arrow for changing down

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (firm pressure
on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.

Gearbox and steering wheel




Moving off



You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
The gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.

"N"
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal when you
release the brake pedal, to indicate that there
is a difference between the position of the gear
lever and the gear selected in the gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards +
)
or reverse (position R
).

"1"
or "R"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.
The AUTO or sequential mode used
before switching off the ignition remains
in memory when the vehicle is restarted.

Stopping - Starting on a slope

This gearbox is electronically controlled and
does not have a clutch pedal.

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
hold
the vehicle on a slope, apply the parking
brake instead; failure to follow this
procedure can overheat the clutch and
damage the gearbox
.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
It is also possible to move off in 2
nd
gear on slippery surfaces (2 nd press
on +).

Automated mode

Once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position A/M
.

"AUTO"
and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:


- vehicle speed,

- engine speed,

- accelerator pedal position.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you fully depress the accelerator pedal,
the gearbox changes down for sharper
acceleration. By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
down, the vehicle moves off quickly.
