18 Dashboard instruments Checking After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the cooling system increase. To top up the level: ► wait at least one hour for the engine to cool, ► unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop, ► when the pressure has dropped, remove the cap, ► top up the level to the "MAX" mark. For more information on Checking levels , refer to the corresponding section. Be aware of the risk of scalding when topping up the coolant. Do not fill above the maximum level (indicated on the reservoir). Engine oil level indicator (Depending on version) On versions fitted with an electric gauge, the engine oil level status is displayed on the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, at the same time as the servicing information. 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 a message on the instrument panel. Low oil level
This is indicated by a message on the instrument panel. If a 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 levels , refer to the corresponding section. Oil gauge malfunction
This is indicated by the display of a message on the instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a malfunction of the electric gauge, the oil level is no longer monitored. If the system is faulty, you must check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick located in the engine compartment. For more information on Checking levels , refer to the corresponding section. AdBlue ® range indicators (BlueHDi) The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with a system that associates the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot function without AdBlue ® fluid. When the level of AdBlue ® falls below the reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400 and 0 km)), a warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and an estimate of the distance that can be travelled before engine starting is prevented is displayed in the instrument panel. The engine starting prevention system required by regulations is activated automatically once the AdBlue ® tank is empty. It is then no longer possible to start the engine until the minimum level of AdBlue ® has been topped up. |
