The reserve when the warning first comes

-
10 litres for 60 and 90 litre tanks,
-
12 litres for 120 litre tanks.
Fuel tanks of dif
ferent capacities are
available as an option.

the needle is positioned between c

In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. 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.
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice.
When topping-up
Caution, the cooling system is pressurised.
In order to avoid any risk of scalding, place
a cloth around the cap and unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap to check the level and top-up.
Refer to the "Checks - Fuel" section. If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Check the coolant level regularly.

34EMISSIOnS cOntrOLS
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards on emissions
limits of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrogen oxides), detected by
oxygen sensors placed downstream of
the catalytic converters,
-
particles.

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver. This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.
The driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emissions
control system by the illumination
of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
If this warning lamp comes on, have it
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To locate it, refer to the "Technical
data
- Identification markings" section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding, extends
braking distances and causes premature
tyre wear, particularly under arduous
conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long
journey).
Instruments and controls

35under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
-
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
-
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-
In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment).
-
In the event of under-inflation:
●
if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
●
if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed and go
to the nearest CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The loss of pressure detected does
not always lead to visible deformation
of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures
is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions.
Engine oil condition
If in doubt, check the level with the dipstick. This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with
the 1st, comes on in the instrument
panel when the oil has not been
changed and the deterioration of
the oil has reached another threshold. If this
warning comes on at regular intervals, have the
oil changed as soon as possible. The warning lamp flashing 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.
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.
Servicing information
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising service
information comes on: the screen informs you
when the next service is due, in accordance
with the servicing schedule indicated in
themanufacturer's service schedule. Depending on the engine, the engine oil
level then appears, graduated from 1 (Min)
to 5 (Max).
If no graduation is displayed, the oil level is
too low; you must top-up to avoid damaging
the engine.
For the oil level reading to be accurate, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground, with
the engine off for more than 30 minutes.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
This information is determined in relation
to the distance travelled since the previous
service.

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag. With the engine hot, the warning lamp
comes on for a few moments, you can start
the engine without waiting.
As soon as the engine is running, release
the key.
