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