2017 CITROEN RELAY low oil pressure

13
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof
rack, trailer...).
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
before a long journey
,
-

at each change of season,
-


after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres


on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter...)
and observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
has a fault your vehicle becomes polluting;
go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to bring the
levels of nitrous oxide emissions back into
line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

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).
