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

interval for this operation.
Engine oil change

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'srecommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet theDOT3 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.


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 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.
