cover in the front bumper as well as the bonnet
seal if fitted.

workshop for this.

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.

bonnet
Opening
F at the front of the bonnet, lift the safety catch B and raise the bonnet.
F Unclip the stay C from its housing and pivot
it to insert it in the notch D indicated by a
yellow arrow.
F Fix the stay in the notch to hold the bonnet
open.Closing
F Take the stay out of the support notch.
F Clip the stay in its housing.
F Lower the bonnet then slam it firmly at the
end of its travel.
F Pull on the bonnet to check that it is fully
closed.
F
Open the left hand front door.
F Pull the interior bonnet release lever A ,
located at the bottom of the door frame. Before doing anything under the bonnet,
switch off the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The location of the interior release lever
prevents opening of the bonnet while
the left hand front door is closed.
This operation must only be carried out
when the vehicle is stationary.
Avoid opening the bonnet in strong
winds.
When the engine is hot, handle the
safety catch and bonnet stay with care
(risk of burns). because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, ...) be limited.
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.
Checks

227
Checking levels
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 so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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).
Checking using the dipstick
F Locate the dipstick in the engine
compartment of your vehicle.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section.
F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and
remove it completely.
F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F 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 = MaX
B = MI n
