Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
t
aken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
p
ull on the control lever will brake the vehicle.
B
raking takes place while the control lever is
b
eing pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever
i
s
r
eleased.
The
ABS and DSC systems provide stability of
t
he vehicle during emergency braking.
If
the emergency braking malfunctions, the
m
essage "Parking brake control faulty" will be
d
isplayed.
If
a failure of the ABS and DSC systems
o
ccurs, signalled by the illumination of one
o
r both warning lamps in the instrument
p
anel, then stability of the vehicle is no longer
g
uaranteed.
In
this event, stability must be assured by the
d
river by repeating alternate "pull-release"
a
ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
emergency braking should only be
u
sed in an exceptional situation.
Repeat
this
procedure
to
reactivate
automatic
ope
ration.
Reactivation
of
automatic
operation
is
c
onfirmed
by
the
indicator
lamp
in
the
i
nstrument
panel
going
off.
Deactivating automatic
operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather o r towing (caravan, recovery), it may be
n
ecessary to deactivate automatic operation of

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).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the
o
il level indicator in the instrument
p
anel for vehicles with an electric oil
level
gauge, or using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the
e
ngine compartment of your vehicle.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
r
emove it completely.
F
W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
n
on-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
p
ull it out again to make the visual check:
t
he correct level is between the marks A
and
B.
It
is
normal
to
top
up
the
oil
level
between
t
wo
services
(or
oil
changes).
CITROËN
r
ecommends
that
you
check
the
level,
and
top
u
p
if
necessary,
every
3
000
miles
(5
000
kms).
Check
all
of
these
levels
regularly,
in
line
with
the
manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If
a
level
drops
significantly,
have
the
corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
To
ensure
that
the
reading
is
correct,
y
our
vehicle
must
be
parked
on
a
level
s
ur face
with
the
engine
having
been
