CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Brake fluid level
Oil level
The reading will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the ignition
is switched on using the oil level indicator in the
instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" 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 fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may operate
after the vehicle has been switched off,
even if the engine is cold.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil grade
The oil must be suitable for your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Screenwash fluid level
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop. 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 pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Top up the level when necessary.
Take care when carrying out
checks under the bonnet as
some parts of the engine can be
very hot (risk of burns).
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).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used
at the same time on the MyWay
audio navigation system, it will
be interrupted after 10 minutes.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indi-
cating that the vehicle has switched to
economy mode and the active functions
are put on standby.
CHANGING A FRONT OR REARWIPER BLADE
Procedure for replacing a worn wiper
blade with a new one without the use
of tools.
Removal
)
Raise the corresponding wiper arm.
)

Fitting
)
At the front, check the size of the
wiper blade as the shorter blade is
fi tted to the passenger side of the
vehicle.
)
