when the ignition is switched on, at the same
time as the ser vice information.















Engine oil level indicator

The vehicle must be on level ground
and the engine must have been off
for more than 30 minutes for this level
check to be accurate.

Oil level correct

Oil level incorrect

This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL"

or the display of a specific message in
the instrument panel, coupled with the service
warning lamp and accompanied by an audible
signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, the level must be topped up
to avoid damage to the engine.


Oil level indicator error

This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL--"

or the display of a specific message in the
instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN or a

the oil filler cap, using the
correct grade of oil for your
engine.

Checking levels


Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


















Oil level

Engine oil change

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val 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.


Oil specifi cation

The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.












Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

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.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
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).
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).
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.
