Checking levels
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 so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
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.
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.
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more than
30
m

inutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top-
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
