there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the
screen, such as, for example:
- opening of the doors, boot or bonnet,
- engine oil low level,
- screenwash low level,
- flat remote control battery,
- saturation of the particle emission filter (Diesel)
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the ser vice warning
lamp goes off.

Engine oil level indicator *
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the display of the message
"Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by the ser vice warning
lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil
level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, after the ser vicing information.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.

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
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles with and electric oil
level gauge, or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be on level ground
and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
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.
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.
- Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and
remove it completely.
- Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
- 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
.
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
.
- If the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN
mark, you
must top up the engine oil.

Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
Oil grade
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section for the location of the oil filler cap in the
engine compartment of your vehicle.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler
aperture.
- Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
- Wait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.
- Add more oil if necessary.
- After checking the level, carefully refit the
oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
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.
Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val 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.
Page 246 of 400
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is
indicated by illumination of
the ser vice warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning and a
message in the instrument panel screen.
