CHECKING LEVELS
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
 
start
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
(even
 
with

  the   ignition   off).
The
 
check
 
is
 
carried
 
out
 
either
 
when

 
the
 
ignition
 
is
 
switched
 
on

 
using
 
the
 
oil
 
level
 
indicator
 
in

 
the
 
instrument
 
panel
 
for
 
ve
-
hicles with an electric oil level
gauge,
  or   using   the   dipstick.
Engine oil level
Checking using the dipstick
Refer 
to
 
the
 
"Petrol
 
engine"
 
or
 
"Diesel
 
engine"

 
section
 
for
 
the
 
location
 
of
 
the
 
dipstick

 
in
 
the
 
engine
 
compartment
 
of
 
your

  vehicle.
F
 
T
ake  
the
 
dipstick
 
by
 
its
 
coloured
 
grip
 
and

  remove   it   completely.
F
 
Wipe
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
dipstick
 
using
 
a
 
clean

  non-fluffy   cloth.
F
 
Refit
 
the
 
dipstick
 
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

f
 
for

 
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

-
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
 
to
 
the

  manufacturer's   recommendations.

Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer 
to
 
the
 
manufacturer's
 
service
 
schedule

 
for
 
details
 
of
 
the
 
interval
 
for
 
this

  operation.
Fluid specification
The
 
brake
 
fluid
 
must
 
conform
 
to
 
the
 
manufacturer's

  recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering  fluid  level should
 be  close  to  the  "MAX" mark.

 
With
 
the
 
engine
 
cold,
 
un
-
screw
 
the
 
cap
 
to
 
check
 
the
 
level.
Coolant level
The coolant level  should  be  close
 to  the  "MAX"  mark  but  
should

  never   exceed   it.
When
 
the
 
engine
 
is
 
warm,
 
the
 
temperature

 
of
 
the
 
coolant
 
is
 
regulated
 
by

 
the
 
fan.
In
 
addition,
 
as
 
the
 
cooling
 
system
 
is
 
pressurised,

 
wait
 
at
 
least
 
one
 
hour
 
after
 
switching

 
of
f  
the
 
engine
 
before
 
carrying
 
out

 
any
  work.
To
 
avoid
 
any
 
risk
 
of
 
scalding,
 
unscrew
 
the cap by two turns to allow the pres

-
sure
 
to

 
drop.
 
When
 
the
 
pressure
 
has
 
dropped,

 
remove
 
the
 
cap
 
and
 
top
 
up
 
the

 
level.
Fluid specification
The
 
coolant
 
must
 
conform
 
to
 
the
 
manu
-
facturer's
  recommendations.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing
that might be caught by the
fan blades.
The
 brake
 fluid
 level
 should
 be
 close
 to
 the
 "MAX"
 mark.
 If
 it
 is
 not,
 
check
 
the
 
brake
 
pad
 
wear.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer
 
to

 
the

 
"Petrol
