Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator,  the   state   of   the   engine   oil   level   is  
d

isplayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds,
  after   the   servicing   information.
The level read will only be correct if
the
  vehicle   is   on   level   ground   and   the  
e

ngine   has   been   off   for   more   than  
3

0 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the display of the message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen,
  accompanied   by   the   service   warning  
l

amp   and   an   audible   signal.
If
  the   low   oil   level   is   confirmed   by   a   check   using  
t

he   dipstick,   the   level   must   be   topped   up   to  
a

void   damage   to   the   engine.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer
  to   the   corresponding   section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument
 pan

el.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the
  oil   level   is   no   longer   monitored.
If
  the   system   is   faulty,   you   must   check   the  
e

ngine   oil   level   using   the   manual   dipstick  
l

ocated   under   the   bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer
  to   the   corresponding   section.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any   time   (even   with   the   ignition   off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the   ignition   is   switched   on   using   the  
o

il level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using
  the   dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding   underbonnet   layout   view.
F
 
T
ake   the   dipstick   by   its   coloured   grip   and  
r

emove   it   completely.
F
 
W
ipe   the   end   of   the   dipstick   using   a   clean  
n

on-fluffy   cloth.
F
 
R
efit   the   dipstick   and   push   fully   down,   then  
p

ull   it   out   again   to   make   the   visual   check:  
t

he   correct   level   is   between   the   marks   A
and B .
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two
 
services
 
(or
 
oil
 
changes).
 
CITROËN
 
r

ecommends
 
that
 
you
 
check
 
the
 
level,
 
and
 
top-
up
 
if
 
necessary,
 
every
 
3
 
000
 
miles
 
(5
 
000
 
kms).
Check
 
all
 
of
 
these
 
levels
 
regularly,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
manufacturer's   service   schedule.   Top   them   up   if   necessary,   unless   other wise   indicated.
If
 
a
 
level
 
drops
 
significantly,
 
have
 
the
 
corresponding   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
To
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
reading
 
is
 
correct,
 
y

our
 
vehicle
 
must
 
be
 
parked
 
on
 
a
 
level
 
s

ur face
 
with
 
the
 
engine
 
having
 
been
 
off
 
f

or
 
more
 
than
 
30
 
minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A
  mark   or  
belo

w the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX
 
mark   (risk  
o

f   damage   to   the   engine),   contact   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN
 
mark,   you  
m

ust   top-up   the   engine   oil.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However,  check   that   the   terminals  
a

re   clean   and   correctly   tightened,  
p

articularly   in   summer   and   winter.Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery
  with   special   technology   and
 s

pecification.
 T

he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop   is   essential   when
 r

eplacing   or   disconnecting   the   battery.
Unless
  other wise   indicated,   check   these   components   in   accordance   with   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule   and   according   to   your   engine.
Other wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Depending   on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A   clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may  
h

ave an adverse effect on the per formance
of   the   air   conditioning   system   and   generate  u
ndesirable o dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter
  is   indicated   by   the   fixed  
i

llumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   warning   message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate
  the   filter   by   driving   at   a  
s

peed   of   at   least   40   mph   (60   km/h)   until  
t

he
 
warning   lamp   goes   off.
If
 
the   warning   lamp   stays   on,   this  
i

ndicates   a   low   additive   level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular,
  refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
  regeneration   operations   may   be  
a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,  
w

hich   is   per fectly   normal.
Following
  prolonged   operation   of   the  
v

ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice the emission of water vapour at
the
 
exhaust   on   acceleration.   This   does  
n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
 
the   environment.
When
 
carrying
 
out
 
work
 
on
 
the
 
battery,
 
refer
 
t

o the " 12 V batter y " section for details of the
precautions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
before
 
disconnecting
 
t

he
 
battery
 
and
 
following
 
its
 
reconnection.

Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case o

f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to   have
 t

he   condition   of   the   brakes   checked,
 e

ven   between   vehicle   services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality

d
 sp
ecification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking
  system,   CITROËN   selects   and  
o

ffers   very   specific   products.
After
  washing   the   vehicle,   dampness,  
o

r in wintry conditions, ice can form
on
  the   brake   discs   and   pads:   braking  
e

fficiency   may   be   reduced.   Make   light  
b

rake   applications   to   dry   and   defrost  
t

he   brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the " Electric
parking brake - Operating faults "
  section.
This system does not require any
routine
  servicing.   However,   in   the  
e

vent of a problem, have the system
checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule   for   the   checking   interval   for

ever use   a   high   pressure   jet   wash   in  
t

he   engine   compartment.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   in   the   circuit,   a   drop   in  
t

he   brake   fluid   level   indicates   that   the   brake  
p

ads   are   worn.
