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 lamp 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 lamp
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 lamp on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Instruments and controls
SERVICE INDICATOR
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
indicator comes on: the screen 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.
LIGHTING RHEOSTAT
The rheostat is active when the lighting is on. After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions.
Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument panel.
There are 8 levels. A long press returns you to the main
menu.
Refer to "Mode" section of chapter 4.


Deterioration of the engine oil

The warning lamp fl ashing and,
if your vehicle has the function, a
message displayed at every engine
start: the system has detected
deterioration of the engine oil. Have
the oil changed as soon as possible.
Reminder of servicing information
At any time, to access the service indicator,
press briefly on the MODE button.
Use the up/down arrows to see the
scheduling and engine oil wear information.
Pressing the MODE button again allows you

Resetting to zero
The stopping of the permanent flashing of
the indicator is carried out by an repairer
equipped with a diagnostic tool.

Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on handover of the vehicle. For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine speed
is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then 1 500 rpm
until the oil change is done. Have the engine
oil changed to avoid any risk of damage.

This 2 nd warning lamp, coupled with
the 1 st , comes on in the instrument
panel when the oil has not been
changed and the deterioration of the
oil has reached another threshold. To
avoid the risk of damage, have the oil
changed without waiting for this level.

Gearbox and steering wheel


MANUAL

To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.
GEARBOX AND STEERING WHEELSTEERING WHEEL REACH ADJUSTMENT

With the vehicle stationary, first adjust your
seat to the most suitable position.
Unlock the steering wheel adjustment by
pulling the lever towards you.
Adjust the reach of the steering wheel, then
lock by lowering the lever fully.
As a safety precaution, these operations
must not be carried out while driving.
Reverse gear

Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
Your reversing manoeuvre is indicated by an
audible exterior warning.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged and
an audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Rear parking sensors"
section of chapter 4.

GUIDE-ME-HOME LIGHTING


Ignition off or key in the STOP position.
Within 2 minutes after switching off the
engine, position the ignition key in the STOP
position or remove it.
Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering
wheel.
The indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.

when you leave your vehicle, the dipped
beam headlamps remain on for the selected
duration (when leaving a car park for
example).

To set the sensitivity of the sensor,
refer to "Mode" in chapter 4

If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lamps
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level.

Reversing camera
REVERSING CAMERA
If your vehicle is fitted with this camera, it
is located at the rear of the van, next to the
third brake lamp.
It sends views to the screen installed
in the cab. This rear vision is an aid to
manoeuvring.

Screen

The camera sends the images to a 4 inch or
6.5 inch adjustable colour LCD which takes
the place of the interior rear view mirror.
Press the button and place the screen in the
required position.

Activation

With the key in the running position, unfold
the screen.
The camera comes into operation when

Driving safely


HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the
EBFD provides full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached more
quickly, press the pedal fi rmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot on the
brake pedal.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to steer the vehicle to avoid an
obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved. If this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake warning
lamp, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.
