Checking levels
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.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
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).
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

remove it completely.
F

W

non-fluffy cloth.
F

R

pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
A = MA X
B = MIN If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine
.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
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.
Checks

245
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.To check the level or top up the
fluid on vehicle fitted with headlamp
washers, immobilise the vehicle and
switch of the engine.
Screenwash / headlamp
wash fluid level
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
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 off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of a fluid
with an ethyl alcohol or methanol base is
recommended.
