DS7

[MorganFella]

I’ve recently purchased a DS7 but ran out of windscreen fluid today. Is there a warning light as I didn’t see it?

[Iansel]

No. Sorry I discovered this the same as you about two months ago!

And whilst we are at it, why couldn’t they have a simple gauge on the add blue tank rather than a message saying you have more than 1500km left?

Far too much like common sense. It would never work.

C5x7 dropped that warning light on the screen wash as well....and the bonnet auto-lift rams.

On the Xantia V6s1 cars they had a low engine coolant sensor installed, all the wires in the loom but forgot to add the connections to the warning lamp on the dash (also installed)

The X7 does have a washer fluid level sensor (8) for the headlamp washer reservoir on vehicles equipped with Directional Xenons as these obviously use a lot more fluid.

So it's more important that you lights are nice and bright than being able to see out of the windscreen. Impeccable logic.

You might be able to fit a level switch (vertical or horizontal float-type, in an appropriate position) and a warning LED, if you are handy.

It's not that big a deal just weird that they can fit a camera that scans the road in front and adjusts the suspension but can't fit very simple sensors to the washer bottle and adblue tank

I've often been caught like this on longer journeys where the roads are covered in sleet / mud / grease / and spray from traffic - despite topping up the washer tank in the morning, and getting the warning on later - so have to turn off main headlamps from AUTO, to sidelights, squirt the windscreen, then put the lights back to AUTO so I don't run out. When the headlamp washers activate, they go! 2 Extended wash jets per cycle, so can eat through washer fluid.

Drink surely?
