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).
Oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. 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.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum
If the level is above this
mark, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum
Top up the level through the
oil filler orifice, using the
correct grade of oil for your
engine. The level must never
be below this mark.
It will only 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 services (or oil changes).
CITROËN recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.

Brake disc wearOnly use products recommended by

units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the details of
the level checking interval for this
component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the level
checking interval for this component.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. To avoid damaging the electrical units,
the use of a high pressure washer
in the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited.
