WARNING LIGHTS

Each time the vehicle is started: a series of warning lights comes on applying a self-test check. They switch off almost

immediately. When the engine is running: the warning light becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or ﬂashes. This

initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message which appears on the display.

Do not ignore these warnings.

What you should do if the needle

enters the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine

run at idle.

What you should do if the warning

light 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 coolant level and

top it up if necessary.

As the cooling system is pressurised,

follow this advice in order to avoid any

risk of scalding:

-

wait at least one hour after

switching off the engine before

carrying out any work,

-

EMISSION CONTROL

Flat tyre

Sensor(s) not detected

EOBD (European On Board

Check the tyre pressure as soon as

possible.

Under-inﬂation detection is absent

from one (or several) tyre(s). Contact a

CITROËN dealer to replace the faulty

sensor(s).

This message is also displayed when

one of the tyres is away from the

vehicle (being repaired) or when a

wheel without a sensor is ﬁtted.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a

wheel ﬁtted with this system must be

carried out by a CITROËN dealer.

The tyre under-inﬂation detection

system is a driving aid which does

not take the place of vigilance or the

responsibility of the driver.

This system does not remove the need

to have the tyre pressure checked

regularly (including the spare wheel), to

ensure that the dynamic performance

of the vehicle remains at its best and

to avoid premature wear of the tyres,

in particular in the case of arduous

driving (heavy load, high speed).

Diagnosis) is a diagnostics

system which complies with,

among others, the standards

concerning authorised

emissions of:

Puncture

Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden

movement of the steering wheel and

the brakes.

Change the damaged (punctured or

very deﬂated) tyre, and have the tyre

pressure checked as soon as possible.

-

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 light on the instrument panel.

There is a risk of damage to the

catalytic converter. Have it checked by

a CITROËN dealer.

Refer to the "Changing a wheel"

section of chapter 8.

If the damaged tyre is temporarily

stored inside the vehicle, it will again

emit this message to remind you of the

necessity of having it repaired. This will

prevent another warning of the same

type being displayed.

The system may temporarily be

disturbed by radio broadcasts on a

frequency close to it.

DETECTION

Sensors check the tyre pressure during

driving (speed higher than 12 mph

[20 km/h]) and trigger a warning in the

event of a malfunction or puncture.

Any anomaly detected

(ﬂat or punctured tyre,

malfunction of a sensor)

is indicated by visual

and audible information

and is accompanied by a

message on the display.

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain

spanner remains lit. This indicates that

a service should be carried out shortly.

Operation

Service overdue

A few moments after the ignition

has been switched on, the spanner

up; the display for the total distance

recorder tells you (in round ﬁgures)

the distance remaining before the next

service.

The points at which a service is due

are calculated from the last indicator

Each time the ignition is

switched on and for a few

seconds, the spanner

ﬂashes and the excess

distance is displayed.

A few seconds after the ignition is

switched on, the oil level is displayed,

then the total distance recorder

resumes normal operation showing the

total and trip distances.

With the engine running the

spanner remains lit until the

service has been carried out.

The point at which a service is due is

determined by two parameters:

-

the distance travelled,

the time which has elapsed since

the last service.

Less than 1 000 miles/km before the

next service is due

Each time the ignition is switched on

and for a few seconds, the spanner

ﬂashes and the number of miles/

kilometres remaining is displayed:

spanner also lights up if the two-year

interval has elapsed.

The distance remaining before the

next service may be weighted by

the time factor, depending on the

driver’s driving habits.
