and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Brake fluid level

Warranty Guide for details of the in-
terval for this operation.
T h i s fl u i d m u s t b e c h a n g e d r e g u l a r l y .
Fluid which has been used exces-
sively may cause a loss of braking

The reading will only be
correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine
has been off for more than
15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-
sumption should not exceed 0.5 litre
per 600 miles (1,000 km).
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited. Power steering fluid or power

F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
For optimum cleaning and to avoid

topped up or replaced with water.
Reservoir capacities:
-
screenwash: approximately 3.5 litres,
- screenwash and headlamp wash: approximately 6.15 litres. Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle emission
filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Used products

display.
Top up the level when you stop the
vehicle.
Coolant level
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.
O n v e h i c l e s w h i c h a r e fi t t e d w i t h
a p a r t i c l e e m i s s i o n fi l t e r , t h e f a n
may operate after the vehicle has
been switched off, even if the en-
gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
