On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, at the same time as the servicing
information.

Engine oil level indicator*

The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than 30
minutes.

Oil level correct

This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or the
display of a message, accompanied by the
service warning lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking the levels
and in particular the oil level, refer to the
corresponding section.

This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL--" or
the display of a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking the levels
and in particular the oil level, refer to the
corresponding section.

System that informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last service indicator zero
reset, according to the distance covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the level of
deterioration of the engine oil may also be
taken into account, depending on the country
of sale.

Service indicator

Between 600 miles (1 000 km)

and 1800 miles (3 000 km) remain

before the next service is due

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The distance recorder
display line or a specific message in the
instrument panel central screen indicates the
distance remaining before the next service is due.
For example:

1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain

before the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off

; the distance recorder

resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total and trip distances.

More than 1800 miles (3000 km) remain

before the next service is due

When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the instrument panel
central screen.

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on.

The spanner comes on if you have
exceeded the specified time interval
since the last service, as indicated in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions,
the spanner may also come on before
the normal service point, according to
the level of deterioration of the engine
oil, which depends on the driving
conditions in which the vehicle is used.

Service overdue

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner flashes

to indicate that the service

must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example:

the service is overdue by 180 miles

(300 km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:

Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain

before the next service is due

Example:

560 miles (900 km) remain before

the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on to
indicate that a service must be carried out
soon.

For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this alert is also
accompanied by the fixed illumination of the
Service warning lamp when the ignition is
switched on.

The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue

tank

is empty.

AdBlue

fluid range indicators

Once the AdBlue

tank is on reserve or after

detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue

level, the shortest range figure is

the one displayed.

In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue

Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
When the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically
in the instrument panel.

With the type 2 instrument panel,
pressing this button temporarily
displays the driving range.

Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not
specified.

the instrument panel of "NO START IN" and
a distance, indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres before
engine starting is prevented (e.g. "NO START
IN 900 miles" means that starting will be
prevented in 900 miles).
When driving, the message is displayed every
190 miles (300 km) until the AdBlue tank has
been topped up.
The reserve level has been reached; it is
recommended that the tank be topped up as
soon as possible.
It is recommended that no more than 10 litres
of AdBlue

are added.

disappears during the next journey,
after a self diagnosis test of the SCR
emissions control system.

audible signal and the temporary display in
the instrument panel of "NO START IN" and
a distance, indicating the remaining range
express in miles or kilometres before engine
starting is prevented - (e.g.: "NO START IN
