of the boot, as close as possible to 
the
  rear   seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the

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
