may
be
extremely
hot
(risk
of
burns)
and
the

start
at
any

non-fluffy cloth.
F
Refit
the

and
push
fully
down,
then
pull
it
out
again
to
make
the
visual
check:
the
correct
level
is
between
the marks A and B.
Check
all
of
these
levels
regularly
,
in
line
with
the
manufacturer's
service
schedule.
T
op
them
up
if
necessary
,
unless
otherwise
indicated.
If
a
level
drops
significantly
,
have
the
corresponding
system
checked
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
work
-
shop.
To
ensure
that
the
reading
is
correct,
your
vehicle
must
be
parked
on
a
level
surface
with
the
engine
having
been
of

more
than
30
minutes.
It
is
normal
to
top
up
the
oil
level
be
-
tween
two
services
(or
oil
changes).
CITROËN
recommends
that
you
check
the
level,
and
top
up
if
necessary
,
every
3
000
miles
(5
000
kms). A
= MAX
B
= MIN If
you find that the level is above the A
mark or below the B mark, do not start
the engine.
-
If
the
level
is
above
the
MAX
mark
(risk
of
damage
to
the
engine),
con
-
tact
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
quali
-
fied
workshop.
-
If
the
level
is
below
the
MIN
mark,
you
must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before
topping-up
the
oil
or
changing
the
oil,
check
that
the
oil
is
the
correct
grade
for
your
engine
and
conforms

displayed
in alphabetical order.
Select "Change band"

Digital radio - DAB/FM auto tracking
"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of the country.
When the digital signal is weak, "DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you
to
continue listening to the same station, by automatically switching
to
the corresponding analogue "FM" station (if one exists).
Change

If
"DAB / FM auto tracking" is on, there will be a difference of a few
seconds
in the programme when the system changes to analogue
"FM"
radio with sometimes a variation in volume.
Display
of the "DAB" band then becomes "DAB (FM)".
When
the strength of the digital signal is good again, the system
