CHECKS
Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
CITROËN dealerships.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion bottle. If more than
1 l i t r e o f fl u i d i s r e q u i r e d t o t o p u p t h e l e v e l ,
have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Windscreen wash and headlamp wash level
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.
