Checking levels


Take care when working under thebonnet, as certain areas of the enginemay be extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil level

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.

Engine oil change

Refer to the ser vicing 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's
recommendations.
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching 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 warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
This manual check will onl
y be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine has
been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices
(or oil changes). CITROËNrecommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).

Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering fluid level

The power steering fluid level shouldbe close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap tocheck the level. Th
e brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of the
interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT4 standard.
In addition, as the cooling system ispressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any work.To a v o i d a ny risk of scalding, unscrewthe cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and topup the level. When the en
gine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can
operate with the ignition off.
For vehicles fitted with a
par ticle emissions
filter, the cooling fan may continue to
run after stopping the vehicle, even if theengine is cold.
