the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN recommends that you checkthe 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 oillevel indicator in the instrument panelis not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITRO
ËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
