CHECKING LEVELS
   
Dipstick 
   
Oil change 
  According to the information given in 
the servicing booklet.     
Viscosity selection 
  In all cases, the oil selected must 
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.  
    
Note: 
 the coolant does not need to 
be changed. 
   
For vehicles equipped with a par-
ticle fi lter, the engine fan may op-
erate after the ignition has been 
switched off, even when the engine 
is cold.   
 
  There are two marks 
on the dipstick: 
   
A 
 = maximum 
  Never fi ll  past  this 
mark. 
   
B 
 = minimum 
  To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and 
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is 
prohibited.  
 
 
Brake fluid level 
 
The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule. 
  Use fl uids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which fulfi l  DOT4 
standards.  
 
 
Cooling system 
 
Use the fl uid recommended by the 
manufacturer. 
  When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled 
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate 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 two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any 
risk of scalding. When the pressure 
has dropped, remove the cap and 
top up the level. 
   
Power steering reservoir 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The 
level should always be above the 
MIN. mark and close to the MAX. 
mark.  
 
 
 
Windscreen and headlamp 
wash level 
  For best quality cleaning and for 
your safety, we would advise that 
you use products recommended by 
CITROËN. 
  For optimum cleaning and to prevent 
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped 
up or replaced with water.  
 
 
Used products 
 
Avoid products such as used oil and 
brake fl uid coming into prolonged 
contact with the skin. 
  Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or 
coolant into drains or onto the ground. 
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose in the CITROËN 
dealer network (France) or to an author-
ised waste disposal site.  
 
 
Oil level 
 
It is normal to top up the engine oil 
between services. CITROËN rec-
ommends that you check the oil 
level, and top up if necessary, every 
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres). 
  Check the level with the vehicle level, 
engine cold, using the oil level gauge 
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

CHECKS   
Oil filter 
 
Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.  
  Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or 
products of equivalent quality 
and specifi cations. 
  To ensure best performance from 
components as important as the 
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, CITROËN selects and offers 
quite specifi c products. 
  To prevent damage to the electrical 
units, avoid washing the engine.  
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
 
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit: 
   
 
-  fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres 
of diesel, 
   
-   squeeze and release the manual 
re-priming pump, under the bonnet 
under the protective cover, until fuel 
appears in the transparent pipe, 
   
-   operate the starter until the engine 
starts.  
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF(PETROL) 
 
In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents 
fuel from reaching the engine. 
 To re-establish the fuel supply, press 
the switch on the corner of the front 
right-hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.
 
   
Air filter and passenger 
compartment filter 
  Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly.  If you drive in dusty conditions, 
change them twice as often.   
 
 
 
Brake pads 
 
Brake pad wear depends on the style 
of driving, in particular for vehicles 
which are used in town, over short 
distances. 
  It may be necessary to check the 
thickness of the pads, even between 
services.  
 
 
Disc and drum wear status 
 
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc and drum wear status, 
contact a CITROËN dealer.  
 
 
Manual gearbox 
 
This does not require an oil change. 
Check the level in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
   
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance 
with the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule, refer to the pages of 
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine. 
 
 
 
Handbrake 
 
Where the handbrake travel is too 
great or there is a reduction in the 
performance of the system, the 
handbrake should be adjusted, even 
between services. 
  Have the system checked by a 
CITROËN dealer.  
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
