2011 Citroen DS3 oil level

Checks


Battery Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Oil filter








Par ticle emission filter (Diesel)

Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Warranty and Maintenance Record and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to
the "Practical information" section for details of
the precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.


Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement inter vals for these
components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.


Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.





The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop is required when replacing or
disconnecting the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery. The star t of saturation of the
par ticle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multi-
function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first par ticle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.

Manual gearbox






Automatic gearbox














Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn. The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for the details of the level
checking interval for this component.


Brake disc wear
Manual parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.






















Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as impor tant as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units,
the use of a high pressure washer
in the engine compar tment is strictly
prohibited
.
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the level checking
interval for this component. For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.













SensoDrive gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the
