Service indicator
The display, located in the control
block, informs you when the next
service will be due in accordance
with the "Manufacturer's" servicing
schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined
in relation to the distance travelled
since the previous service.
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.
The distance remaining before the next
service is less than 500 miles/1 000 km
Each time the ignition is switched on
and for a few seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the number of miles/
kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed,
then the total distance recorder
resumes normal operation and the
spanner remains lit. This indicates that
a service should be carried out shortly.
The service is overdue
Each time the ignition is switched on
and for a few seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the excess distance is
displayed.
With the engine running the
spanner remains lit until the
service has been carried out.
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few seconds, the display shows:
Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given
to you on delivery of the vehicle.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation lights
up; the display for the total distance
recorder tells you (in round fi gures)
the distance remaining before the next
service.
The points at which a service is due
are calculated from the last indicator
zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by the distance travelled.

Zero re-set
Your CITROËN dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:
-
Switch off the ignition,
-
Press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,
-
Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows " = 0 " , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for a few
seconds, after the service information.
Oil level correct
Lack of oil
Flashing of "OIL" ,
linked with the
service warning light,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
display, indicates 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 gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL --"
indicates a
malfunction of the
engine oil level gauge.
Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Dipstick
A = maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer
without delay.
B = minimum, top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the type of oil suited to your
engine.

the minimum (or maximum) setting,
release the button then press it again
to increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the
required brightness, release the button.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
The six-speed (Diesel engine)
"Porsche Tiptronic-system" automatic
gearbox offers a choice between:
-
the comfort of integral automatic
operation , enhanced by a snow
programme,
-
or the pleasure of manual gear
changing .
Gear selection gate
-
Move the lever in the gate to select
a position. Once the position
is selected, the corresponding
indicator light appears on the
instrument panel display.

Automatic changing of the six gears .
Moving off
- It is essential to press
the brake pedal to exit
position P ,
- select position R or D ,
You can also move off from position N .
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
- With your foot on
the brake, release
the handbrake,
- select position R , D or M ,
- gradually release the
pressure on the brake
pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters:
-
the style of driving,
-
the road profi le,
-
the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-
adaptive mode, without any action on
your part.
For immediate maximum
acceleration without touching the
gear lever, press the accelerator
pedal down as far as it will go to the
end of its travel passing the point of
resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain
the gear selected until maximum
engine speed is reached.
With the engine running, to move off
from position P .
Automatic mode
On a descent, the gearbox will
automatically change down in order to
provide effi cient engine braking and
good re-acceleration.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change
to a higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in
position D (drive), a vibration limiting
device is activated by pressing the
brake pedal.
- Select position D .

- press the lever to the +
sign to change to a higher
gear, from 1 to 6,
- conversely, press the lever
to the - sign to change to a
lower gear.
You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
Stopping the vehicle, starting
the engine
Reverse gear
- Select position R , with the
vehicle stationary and the
engine at idle.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P , it will be impossible
to change to another position.
- Select position P to
immobilise the vehicle or
to start the engine , with
the handbrake on or off.
- You can also select
position N to park or to
start the engine , with the
handbrake on.
If position N is engaged
inadvertently while driving, allow
the engine to return to idle before
engaging position D to accelerate.
Manual mode
Manual changing of the gears by
pressing.
- Select lever position M ,
In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit. If they do not, the vehicle will
operate temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear 1.
The 7 (snow) programme does not
operate in manual mode.

Good practice
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
-
if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-
if you force the lever from position P
to another position in the event of a
battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R , D or M is
selected the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running .
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indicated
by an audible signal, accompanied by
the message "Automatic gear fault"
on the display and fl ashing of the Snow
snowfl ake on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox operates
in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantial knock
when changing from P to R and from N
to R (this will not cause any damage to
the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
You can return to the automatic
programme at any time.
- Press
button

again to switch off
the programme you are in.
Snow programme
In addition to the automatic
programme, there is a special
Snow programme.
This improves starting
and drive when traction is
poor. The snowfl ake appears on the
instrument panel display.
- Press button 7 once the
vehicle has been started
and position D selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving
on slippery roads.

To change gear easily, always press
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never
fi t one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.
Reverse gear (6-speed)
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to
reduce the noise on engaging reverse
