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
servicing booklet 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 radio 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 servicing
booklet. 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 3 000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third
level of deterioration is reached, the engine
speed is restricted to 1 500 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.

Re-activation
To set off again, restore the fuel supply and
the electrical supply manually:
- with the key in the STOP position, turn
the key to the RUNNING position,
- push the direction indicators control up fully,
- place it in the "Off" position,
- press the direction indicators control down fully,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- push it up fully again,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- press it down fully again,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- turn the key to the STOP position. Quality of the fuel used for petrol
engines
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 type petrol biofuels (containing
10 % ethanol), conforming to European
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (Diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).

Levels
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good working
order. Ask for advice from a CITROËN
dealer or refer to the servicing booklet
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 CITROËN dealer.

B = minimum
Never 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 as soon as possible.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in chapter 1, refer to the
"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 CITROËN dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Refit the filler cap before closing the bonnet.

146
Levels
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. 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 CITROËN dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 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 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 CITROËN dealers (France) or
at an authorised waste disposal site.
