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 
of additives in engine oil 
is prohibited.

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, ...).

CHECKS
Carbon filter and passenger 
compartment filter
An access flap allows replacement of 
the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous 
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter 
becomes blocked, this may reduce the 
performance of the air conditioning 
system and generate unpleasant 
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment filter. By 
means of its second special active 
filter, it contributes to the purification 
of the air breathed by the occupants 
and the cleanness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits).
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have 
your battery checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style 
of driving, in particular for vehicles 
which are used in town, over short 
distances. It may be necessary to 
check the thickness of the pads, even 
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a 
drop in the brake fluid level indicates 
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake 
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN 
dealer.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Refer to theservicing and warranty 
booklet for the replacement interval for 
these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the 
vehicle (urban driving...), change them 
twice as often if necessary.
