Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by the
fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap and top up the level.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the engine cold,
to check the level. To check the level or top up the
fluid on vehicle fitted with headlamp
washers, immobilise the vehicle and
switch of the engine.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:
)
do not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
)
use a sponge and soapy water,
)
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks, do not
keep the lance directed towards
the lamps or their edges for too
long, so as not to damage their
protective coating and seals.
)
Do not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use lint-free cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for a few minutes (risk of serious
burns).
It is imperative to use only
anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must be
replaced by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Bulbs with lugs, type H1, H7... take care
to position them correctly to ensure the
best lighting.
