26WARNING LAMPS
Every time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a self-checking test.
They go off almost immediately. When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning sign if it remains on continuously or
flashes. This initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. "Do not ignore these warnings."

fter 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. 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. 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.

keep your vehicle in good working order.
Ask for advice from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop or refer to the
maintenance and warranty guide provided in
the handbook pack.
LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000
km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks on the
dipstick:
A= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer
or a qualified workshop.
B = minimum
n

ever allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To preserve the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited. Oil change
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid must be changed at
the specified interval, as given in the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which meets the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in the "Ready to go -
Instruments and controls" section.
This must be carried out at the specified
interval and the viscosity grade of the oil
selected must fulfil the requirements of the
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a CITR
o
Ë
n
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Refit the filler cap before closing the bonnet.

CHECKS
Levels

148
Engine coolant level
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 cooling 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.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the header tank. If more than
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap with
integral gauge and check the level which
must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Screenwash fluid level
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
topping up or replacement of this fluid
should never be with plain water; we
recommend the use of products available
from CITR
o Ë n dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
3
litres.
Slacken the cap by two turns 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 fault which must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Used products
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 provided for this purpose
at CITR
o Ë n dealers (France) or at an
authorised waste disposal site.

CHECKS
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine
oil is changed.
To remove the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in
d iesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter.
o perate until all of
the water has flowed out. Then tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
Battery
at the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
The involvement of a CITR
o
Ë
n
dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the
bonnet" section.
HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
specialist knowledge, which all CITROËN
dealers have.

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.
