36SErVIc E I nd I c AtO r Engine oil level
After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions.
Engine oil condition
If in doubt, check the level with the dipstick. This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with
the 1st, comes on in the instrument
panel when the oil has not been
changed and the deterioration of
the oil has reached another threshold. If this
warning comes on at regular intervals, have the
oil changed as soon as possible. The warning lamp flashing and,
if your vehicle has the function,
a message displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the engine oil.
Have the oil changed as soon as possible.
For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine
speed is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then
1 500 rpm until the oil change is done.
Have the engine oil changed to avoid
any risk of damage.
Servicing information
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising service
information comes on: the screen informs you
when the next service is due, in accordance
with the servicing schedule indicated in
themanufacturer's service schedule. Depending on the engine, the engine oil
level then appears, graduated from 1 (Min)
to 5 (Max).
If no graduation is displayed, the oil level is
too low; you must top-up to avoid damaging
the engine.
For the oil level reading to be accurate, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground, with
the engine off for more than 30 minutes.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
This information is determined in relation
to the distance travelled since the previous
service.

cooling system
Check the coolant level regularly,
according to the use made of your
vehicle (every 3 000 miles or 5 000 kms
/
3
months);
if necessary, top-up using coolant
recommended by the manufacturer.
Topping-up the coolant between services is
normal.
The check and top-up must be done with the
engine cold.
A low coolant level presents the risk of
serious damage to your engine. For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding, with a cloth
around the cap, slacken the cap by a quarter
turn to release the pressure. When the
pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top-up the level with coolant.changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Use brake fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4 standard.
The level must be between the MI
n and
MA
x marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible. Engine oil grade
When topping-up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified in the manufacturer's
service schedule. Ask for advice from a
CITROËN dealer.
Refill the engine oil using the procedure
described for topping-up.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. These operations will keep your vehicle
in good running order. Ask for advice
from a CITROËN dealer or refer to the
manufacturer's service schedule included in
the handbook pack.

Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are given in
the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the
bonnet" section.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's service schedule.
