CHECKS



































CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have
the corresponding system checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Oil level


Oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your
engine and conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.



Brake fluid level


Fluid change
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the interval for this operation.
This fl uid must be changed regu-
larly. Fluid which has been used for
too long may cause a loss of braking
effi ciency.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
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.
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys.
Take care when doing anything
under the bonnet, as some parts
of the engine can be extremely hot
(risk of burns). The brake fl uid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
In order to maintain the reliability
of the engine and emission con-
trol system, the use of additives
in the engine oil is prohibited.


Power steering fluid or power
steering and suspension
fluid level
This fl uid must be topped up
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level,

- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the type of oil suited
to your engine.

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
exceeding 40 cm; except bicycle
carrier): 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.
