Checking levels
Brake fluid level 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. Th
e brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid

Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of the
interval for this operation.

Engine oil change

Refer to the servicing 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'srecommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT3 or DOT4 standard.
If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.

Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could star t at any time (even with the ignition off).
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.
