CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you
check the level, and top up if neces-
sary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check
when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instru-
ment panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the en-
gine may be extremely hot (risk of
burns).
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the interval for this opera-
tion.
In order to maintain the reli-
ability of the engine and emis-
sion control system, the use
of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade
for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Brake fluid level
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 de-
tails of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
Power steering or power
steering and suspension
fluid level
For topping up, it is necessary
to go to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A

this level,
B
= min; top up the oil
level via the oil fi ller cap,
using the correct grade of
oil for your engine.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery

The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start

12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation; the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.
After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop, the Stop & Start system
will only be active after a continu-
ous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends
on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to
about 8 hours).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ROOF BARS
The design of your vehicle requires
the use of roof bars that are tested
and approved by CITROËN, for your
safety and to avoid damage to the
roof and tailgate.
Regardless of the type of loading
equipment to be transported on the
roof (bicycle carrier, ski carrier...), it
is imperative that you add transverse
roof bars. Any securing or lashing to
components other than the roof bars
is strictly prohibited.
Recommendations
)
Distribute your load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.
)
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.
)
Anchor the load securely and
draw attention to it if any part of
it is overhanging.
)
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).
)
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed.
Maximum load that can be
distributed on the roof bars
(for a loading height not ex-
ceeding 40 cm; except bicycle car-
rier): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profi le of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transportation
of objects which are longer than
the vehicle.
Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the
blanking cover in the front bumper
as well as the bonnet seal if fi tted.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for this.
