CHECKS

CHECKING LEVELS


Take care when working under
the bonnet, as certain areas of
the engine may be extremely hot
(risk of burns) and the cooling
fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).


The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.
It 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 be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, 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 instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.


















Oil level


Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide 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.











Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty
guide for details of the interval for this
operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, un-
screw the cap to check the level.











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.
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.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the maintenance and warranty
guide. 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 work-
shop.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.








The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing
that might become caught by the
fan blades.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Removing a wheel


Parking the vehicle

The distribution (or spatialisation using the Arkamys
© system) of sound
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.

On-board audio: Arkamys
©
Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an
"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio,
CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processing
takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to
produce optimum results.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, …) and
recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.

The audio settings ( Equalizer
, Bass
, Treble
and Loudness
) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settings for distribution and balance are common to all sources.
