Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns)
and the cooling fan could start at any
time (even with the ignition off).
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F

remove it completely.
F

ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
A = MA X
B = MIN If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine
.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Checking using the dipstick
F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .

The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine

by pushing the vehicle.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources
of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fire.
Wash your hands after wards.The battery is located under the bonnet.

Identification markingsVarious visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A.
Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the suspension damper mounting.
B.
Vehicle identification number on the dashboard.This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen. D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The original tyres fitted to the vehicle
may have a load index or speed rating
higher than those given on the label;
this has no effect on the inflation
pressures.
C. Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the following information:
-
t he tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,
-

t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating),
-

t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-

t
he paint colour code.Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10
minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm
tyre.
