Flashing of "OIL" indicates an oil

level that is below the minimum.
Check using the manual dipstick.

See "Levels".

I N S T R U M E N T PA N E L

MAINTENANCE INDICATOR

It informs you when the next routine service is due in accordance with the vehicle servicing schedule in the Main-

tenance Guide. This information is dependent on two parameters: the mileage covered, and the time elapsed since

the last visit.

Operation

From switching on the ignition

and for a few seconds, the span-

ner symbolising maintenance

operations lights up; the instru-

ment panel tells you the distance

remaining to the next service.
Example: there remain up to the

next service:

A few seconds after this, the engine

oil level indicator is displayed, then

the total mileage recorder resumes

its normal role. The instrument

panel gives the total and trip

mileages.

Operation if the distance to

the next service is less than

1 000 km (600 miles)

Each time you switch on the ignition

and for 5 seconds, the spanner and

the distance fl ash.
Example: there remain up to the

next service: 500 km (300 miles).

On switching on the ignition and for

5 seconds, the instrument panel

indicates:

A few seconds after this, the engine

oil level indicator is displayed, then

the total mileage recorder resumes

its normal role and the mainte-

nance symbol remains lit up.
This is a warning to you that a

service must be carried out at the

earliest opportunity.
The instrument panel gives the

total and trip mileages.

Operation if the service

interval has been passed

Each time you switch on the igni-

tion, the maintenance symbol and

the distance covered (preceded

by a minus) beyond the recom-

mended interval fl ash.
Example: You have exceeded

the service interval by 300

(180 miles).
The routine service on your vehi-

cle needs to be carried as soon as

possible.

A few seconds after switching

on the ignition, the total mile-

age recorder resumes its normal

role and the maintenance symbol

remains lit up.

I N S T R U M E N T PA N E L

Maintenance intervals

If you use your vehicle in particu-

larly diffi cult conditions, it is essen-

tial to use the service schedule for

"severe conditions" comprising

shorter intervals between services.

See "Maintenance and Warranty

Guide".

Reset to zero

It is reset by your CITROËN dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop after each

service. However, if you do your

own servicing, the procedure for

resetting to zero is as follows:

1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Press on button A and keep it

pressed.

3. Switch on the ignition.
4. Keep button A pressed down

until the screen indicates "=0"

and the maintenance symbol

disappears.

Note: If the maximum time

between two oil changes is

reached before the mileage

has been covered, the mainte-

nance spanner lights up and the

instrument panel indicates "0".

MILEAGE RECORDER

Display

When the driver's door is opened or

the vehicle is unlocked with the remote

control, for around 30 seconds there is

display of the mileage recorders and

sometimes the maintenance spanner.

Trip mileage recorder reset

This can operate when the ignition

is switched on.
With a long press on the zero

reset button A, the trip mileage dis-

played resets to zero.

FUEL GAUGE

From the time the low fuel warning

lamp is on continuously on level

ground, accompanied by an audi-

ble signal, there remains around

8 litres of fuel in the tank.
When the second-to-last bar dis-

appears, you still have approx. 5 l

of fuel.

REV COUNTER

When you approach maximum

engine speed, crossing into the red

zone indicates the need to engage

a higher gear.

NIGHT DRIVING

A fi rst press on the DARK button puts the display on standby. Only the

time and the temperature remain displayed.
A second press switches off the display and the instrument panel,

except for information concerning:

The speed indicator.
The automatic gearbox.

Note:

Temporary lighting of the display for modifi cation of audio-CD adjust-

ments and air conditioning.
The display lights up if any of the other buttons on the display is

pressed. To revert to night driving, press just once on button DARK.

Range

This is the distance that can still be travelled on the

amount of fuel remaining in the tank. When the dis-

tance that can still be travelled is less than around

30 km (or 18 miles), only four dashes are displayed.

Instantaneous consumption

This is the result from the consumption recorded within

the last 2 seconds. This function will only display

above 30 km/h (18 mph).

Distance to be travelled

To enter it, see "Multifunction displays".

Distance travelled

This is the distance that has been travelled since the

last reset to zero of the Journey selected.

Average consumption

This is the relationship between the fuel consumed

and the distance travelled since the last reset to zero

of the trip computer.

Average speed

This is obtained, from the last reset to zero of the trip

computer, by dividing the distance travelled by the time

taken (with ignition switched on).
