Checking levels
Oil level


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.

Engine oil change

Refer to the MAINTENANCE AND
WARR ANT Y GUIDE for details of the inter val
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.
It is normal to top up the oil levelbetween two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every3 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. It will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes. Check all of these levels re
gularly, in line with the MAINTENANCE AND WARR ANT Y 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.


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 star t atany time (even with the ignition off).
