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 pressurised,
w
ait
at
least one hour after switching off the
e
ngine
before carrying out any work.
To
avoid
any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
b
y
two
turns to allow the pressure to drop.
W
hen the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap
and
top-up the level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
t
he coolant is regulated by the fan.To p p i n g - u p
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay
by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
w
arning lamp, accompanied by an
a
udible signal and a message that
t
he particle filter additive level is
too low.
The
warning lamp comes on when the ignition
i
s
switched on, or every time the stalk is
o
perated,
until the reservoir is refilled.
Next
time
you stop, refill the screenwash /
h
eadlamp
wash reservoir.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reservoir low level is reached this
warning
lamp comes on in the
in
strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
signal and a message. Avoid
prolonged contact of used oil or
f
luids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers
or onto the ground.
Take
used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop (France) or to an
a
uthorised waste disposal site.
