INSTRUMENT PANEL
After switching on the ignition, three
functions are shown in succession:
- service indicator,
- engine oil level indicator,
- total distance recorder/total and
trip distances.
Note : the total and trip distances are
displayed for 30 seconds when the
ignition is switched off, on opening
the driver's door, as well as on lock-
ing and unlocking the vehicle.
Service indicator
This is a visual reminder of when the
next service is due. This service is to
be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Operation
As soon as the ignition is switched
on and for 5 seconds, the spanner
symbolising ''service operation'' is lit.
The trip recorder display shows the
distance remaining (in round fi gures)
before the next service.
Example: 4,800 miles/km remain be-
fore the next service is due. When the
ignition comes on and for 5 seconds
the display shows:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the total distance recorder resumes
normal operation and the display shows
the total or trip distances.
The distance remaining before the next
service is less than 500 miles (1,000 km).
Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
When switching on the ignition and
for 5 seconds, the display shows:
5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the total distance re-
corder resumes normal operation
and the symbol remains lit.
This indicates that a service should
be carried out shortly. The display
shows the total or trip distances.
The service is overdue.
Each time the ignition is switched on
and for 5 seconds, the symbol and
the excess distance fl ash.
Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles/km. The service should be
carried out very shortly.
When the ignition is switched on and
for 5 seconds, the display shows:
5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the total distance re-
corder resumes normal operation and
the symbol remains lit. The display
shows the total or trip distances.
Note: the spanner lights if the two-year
interval has been exceeded.

Resetting the service indicator
Your CITROËN dealer carries out
this operation after each service.
The reset procedure is as follows:

Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on,
the engine oil level is indicated for
approximately 10 seconds, after the
service information.
Surplus of oil
Flashing of the six squares and displaying of "max" indicate a surplus of
oil which could damage the engine.
If the surplus of oil is confi rmed by
a check using the dipstick, contact a
CITROËN dealer without delay.
Lack of oil
Flashing of the six segments and displaying of "min" indicate a lack of oil
which could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.
Oil level indicator fault
Flashing of the six segments indi-
cates a malfunction of the oil level
indicator.
There is a risk of damage to the
engine.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The level read on the dipstick or on
the indicator will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.

RADIO
Your car radio is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio sets. Both AM (MW/LW) and FM
reception are subject to various forms
of interference. This is no refl ection on
the quality of the equipment, but is due
to the nature of the signals and the way
in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be
noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result
of increasing distance from the trans-
mitter, defl ection of the signals by ob-
stacles (mountains, hills, buildings,
etc.), or of being in an area which is
not covered by a transmitter.

RADIO
Your car radio is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio sets. Both AM (MW/LW) and FM
reception are subject to various forms
of interference. This is no refl ection on
the quality of the equipment, but is due
to the nature of the signals and the way
in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be
noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result
of increasing distance from the trans-
mitter, defl ection of the signals by ob-
stacles (mountains, hills, buildings,
etc.), or of being in an area which is
not covered by a transmitter.
