TROUBLESHOOTING
Levels
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good
running order. Consult the instructions at a
CITROËN dealer or in the servicing booklet
enclosed in the handbook pack.
LEVELS

Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.

Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:

A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
consult a CITROËN dealer .

B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer ’s
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions
at a CITROËN dealer .
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Warning lights
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel
is described in chapter 1, refer to the
“Instruments and controls” section.

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.

To avoid any risk of burns, unscrew the cap
2 turns to release the pressure. When the
pressure has fallen, 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.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer .

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.

Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the CITROËN Universal range.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.
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 a
CITROËN dealer .
