he bonnet. For the position of the
d
ipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
v
iew on a previous page.
Checking with dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.

t
wo services (or oil changes). CITROËN
r
ecommends that you check the level, and top
u
p if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km). If
you find that the oil level is above the A mark
o
r below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f engine damage), contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
