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.

Checks







Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for the details of the level checking
interval for this component.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the maintenance and
warranty guide which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes.






Particle filter system (1.3 HDi 75)

An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
This filter, fitted to the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
control unit manages the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena -
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature - which does not affect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence
to the running of the vehicle or to the
environment.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the
particle filter is starting to fill up (in
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally
long duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions and the law permit, at a speed
of at least 40 mph (around 60 km/h), with
an engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about
fifteen minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It
is not recommended to end regeneration of
the filter with the vehicle stationary.

Operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust/particle filter system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.








Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the checking interval for
this component.
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire.
