SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals 
according to the use of the vehicle.More than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain 
before the next service is due. When 
the ignition is switched on and for a 
few seconds, the screen shows:
a few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed 
(depending on version), then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal 
operation showing the total and trip 
distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner flashes and the number of 
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
a few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed 
(depending on version), then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal 
operation and the spanner remains on. 
This indicates that a service should be 
carried out shortly
.
Service overdue
Operation
A few moments after the ignition 
has been switched on, the spanner 
indicating a service operation comes 
on; the display for the total distance 
recorder gives (in round figures) the 
distance remaining before the next 
service.
The points at which a service is due 
are calculated from the last indicator 
zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is 
determined by two parameters:
-
 
the distance travelled,
-
 
the time which has elapsed since 
the last service. The distance remaining before the 
next service may be weighted by 
the time factor
, depending on the 
type of driving. With the engine running the spanner 
remains on until the service has been 
carried out.
For BlueH
d i  d iesel versions, this 
alert is also accompanied by the fixed 
illumination of the Service warning 
lamp, on switching on the ignition. Each time the ignition is 
switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner 
flashes and the excess 
distance is displayed.
For BlueH
d i  d iesel versions, the 
spanner can also come on early, 
according the level of deterioration 
of the engine oil. Deterioration of the 
engine oil depends on the conditions of 
use of the vehicle.

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.

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.
