Practical information

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f   a   level   drops   significantly,   have   the   corresponding   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between two   services   (or   oil   changes).   CITROËN  
r

ecommends   that   you   check   the   level,   and   top  
u

p   if   necessary,   every   3   000   miles   (5   000   kms).
The
  check   is   carried   out   either   when  
t

he   ignition   is   switched   on   using   the  
o

il   level   indicator   in   the   instrument  
p

anel for vehicles with an electric oil
level   gauge,   or   using   the   dipstick.
To   ensure   that   the   reading   is   correct,  
y

our   vehicle   must   be   parked   on   a   level  
s

ur face   with   the   engine   having   been   off  
f

or   more   than   30   minutes.
Take   care   when   working   under   the  
b

onnet,   as   certain   areas   of   the   engine  
m

ay   be   extremely   hot   (risk   of   burns)  
a

nd   the   cooling   fan   could   start   at   any  
t

ime   (even   with   the   ignition   off).
Checking using the dipstick
A = MA X
B   =   MIN If
  you   find   that   the   level   is   above   the   A   mark   or  
belo

w the B   mark,   do not star t the engine
.
-  
I
f   the   level   is   above   the   MAX
 
mark   (risk

C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
-  
I
f   the   level   is   below   the   MIN
 
mark,   you

.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, c
heck   that   the   oil   is   the   correct   grade   for   your  
e

ngine   and   conforms   to   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations.
Checks

Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide for   details   of   the   interval   for   this   operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The
  brake   fluid   level   should   be   close  
t

o   the   "MA X"   mark.   If   it   is   not,   check  
t

  However,   the   system   memorises   these  
lists

  and   if   they   are   not   modified,   the   loading  
time

  will   be   shorter.
