223Checks
Checking levels
Take care when working under thebonnet, as certain areas of the enginemay be extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using theoil level indicator on the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct 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 between
two ser vices
(or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Engine oil change
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of the
interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y of the engine
and emission 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.
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching on the ignition with the oillevel indicator in the instrument panelis not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITRO
ËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.

If the tyre pressures are too low, thisincreases fuel consumption.
B.Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
C.Manufacturer's label.The VIN is indicated on a self-destroyinglabel affixed to the door aper ture, on the
