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).

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval
for this component.

details of the level checking interval
for this component.Brake wear depends on the style
o
f driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.
