instructions supplied with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the fixings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer than
the vehicle.

Practical information

144
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.
Engines
Petrol
Diesel
These engines are examples provided as a
guide.
The locations of the following elements may
vary:
-
A
ir filter.
-

E
ngine oil dipstick.
-

E
ngine oil filler cap. 1.
Screenwash fluid reservoir.
2. Engine coolant reservoir.
3. Brake fluid reser voir.
4. Battery.
5. Fusebox.
6. A i r f i l t e r.
7. Engine oil dipstick.
8. Engine oil filler cap.
9. Remote earth point.
The Diesel fuel system operates under
very high pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Checking levels
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.
The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. 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).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids 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 and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
Practical information

145
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up, if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
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
pull it out completely.
F

W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B .A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
- I f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you must
top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F

U
nscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler
opening.
F

A
dd oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
F

W
ait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.
F

A
dd more oil if necessary.
F

A
fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30 minutes after topping
up.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.

Practical information

171
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and
a capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F

r
elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior safety catch,
