Engine oil level indicator
(Depending on version.)
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a
few
seconds after switching the ignition on, after
the ser vicing information, in the form of
messages. The level read will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30
minutes.
Low oil level
This is indicated by the display of a message
p rompting you to top up, accompanied by the
Service warning lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a
check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid 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 " Oil
level measurement invalid " message in the
instrument panel.
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
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Engine coolant temperature
gauge
With the engine running:
- i n zone A , the temperature is correct,
-

i
n zone B , the temperature is too high; the
associated warning lamp and the central
STOP warning lamp come on in red in the
instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a


message and an audible signal.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a
level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's requirements and with the
vehicle's engine.

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

dd oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
Do not star t the engine if the level is:
-

A
bove mark A
, then contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
B
elow mark B
, then top up the engine oil
immediately.
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,
and may be very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers
reser ved for this purpose at a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked either using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched
on, for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
The vehicle must be parked on a level sur face,
w ith the engine stopped for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
ser vices (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Practical information

191
During the 30 minutes after topping up the
o il, the check per formed with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close
to the " MAX" mark. If not, check the
brake pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level
regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services. The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a
risk of serious damage
to the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
" MAX " mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top
up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.

Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may star t after
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the
fan!Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an anti-freeze agent must be
used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to preser ve the elements of
the system (pump, tank, ducts, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited
under all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, jets, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel
with particle filter)
or The minimum level in the particle
filter additive tank is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a
message warning that the level
of additive is too low.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
