Checks

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. 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   so   equipped,   or  
u

sing   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  
o

f   damage   to   the   engine),   contact   a  
C

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

ust   top   up   the   engine   oil.
Refer
 
to
 
the
 
"Petrol   engine"   or   "Diesel   engine"  
s

ection
 
for
 
the   location   of   the   dipstick   in   the  
e

it
 
out   again   to   make   the   visual   check:

he
 
correct   level   is   between   the   marks   A
and
 
B
.
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.

Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 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

Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for   details   of   the   interval   for   this   operation.
In
  order   to   maintain   the   reliability   of   the   engine

Checks

Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to   the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never  
e

xceed   it.
In
 
addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is  
p

ressurised,   wait   at   least   one   hour   after  
s

witching
 
off   the   engine   before   carrying   out   any  
wo

rk.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap  
b

two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.  
W

hen
 
the
  pressure   has   dropped,   remove   the  
c

ap
 
and
 
top   up   the   level.
When
 
the
  engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

he
 
coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.
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.

This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN d
ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop   without   delay.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids   with   the   skin.
Most
  of   these   fluids   are   harmful   to  
h

ealth   or   indeed   very   corrosive.
Do
  not   discard   used   oil   or   fluids   into  
s

ewers   or   onto   the   ground.
Take
  used   oil   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop   (France)   or   to   an

Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
O ther wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever,   check   that   the   terminals   are   clean a

essential
 
when

battery. The start of saturation of the
particle
  filter   is   indicated   by   the  
t

emporary   illumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   message   in   the   multifunction  
sc

reen.
As
  soon   as   the   traffic   conditions   permit,  
r

egenerate   the   filter   by   driving   at   a   speed   of   at  
l

east   40   mph   (60   km/h)   until   the   warning   lamp  
g

oes   off.
If
  the   warning   lamp   stays   on,   this   indicates   a  
l

On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
  regeneration   operations   may   be  
a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,  
w

hich   is   per fectly   normal.
Following
  prolonged   operation   of   the  
v

ehicle   at   very   low   speed   or   at   idle,  
y

ou   may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice   the   emission   of   water   vapour   at  
t

he   exhaust   on   acceleration.   This   does  
n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
  the   environment.
When
 
carrying
 
out
 
work
 
on
 
the
 
battery,
 
refer
 
t

o
 
the
 
"12

section
 
for
 
details
 
of
 
the
 
p

recautions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
before
 
disconnecting
 
t

battery
 
and
 
following
 
its
 
reconnection.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty a tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle   (e.g.   city d

riving),
 r
eplace them twice as often if necessar y .
A
  clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may   have
 a

n   adverse   effect   on   the   per formance   of   the   air
 c
