If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guidefor details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 l o w v i s c o s i ty / ISO 4925 Class 6standard.Th
e brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrumentpanel, or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil levelbetween two ser vices (or oil changes).CITROËN recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every3 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.

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 star t atany time (even with the ignition off).

It will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.

gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).

If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
th
e brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn. Checkin
g this system must be done by aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: brakingefficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.

Checking tyre pressures / inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).
) Connect the compressor's electricalconnector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. )
Star t the vehicle and let the engine run. )
Adjust the pressure using the compressor
(to inflate: switch Bin position "I"; todeflate: switch Bin position "O"
and pressbutton C ), according to the vehicle's tyre
pressure label or the accessory's pressurelabel.) Remove the kit then stow it.


)Turn the selector Ato the "A ir"position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit first.
