LEVELS
Oil change
This must be carried out at
the intervals specified in the
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask
for advice from a CITROËN dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never
exceed the max mark).
Refit the oil filler cap before closing the
bonnet.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which meet the
DOT4 standard.
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Warning lamps
If you have to remove /
refit the engine style cover, handle
it with care to avoid damaging the
fixing clips.
Oil level
It is recommended that the oil level be
checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)
and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the requirements specified in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle
in good working order. Ask for
advice from a CITROËN dealer or refer
to the maintenance and warranty guide
in the handbook pack.
Checks using the warning lamps in
the instrument panel is described
in chapter 3, "Instruments and
controls" section.
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum
n

ever allow the level to
fall below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a CITROËN dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
d

uring regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have the
system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the CITROËN range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR
o Ë n dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).

Good practice
Only use products recommended by
CITRo Ë n or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specific products.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment is strictly
prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
o

perate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
o

n acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
H
d i engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
special training, so should be
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer.

DIESEL PRIMING PUMPFuel used for Diesel

engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels which conform to current and
future European standards (
d iesel fuel
which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies
with standard E
n 14214) available at
the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines. However, this use,
even occasional, requires strict
application of the special servicing
conditions. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the
engine and fuel system). In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
If you run out of fuel, it is necessary to
prime the fuel circuit.

litres of Diesel.
-
