TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
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
dealership.
Slacken the cap by two turns 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 dealer as soon as possible.
