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

ËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
