2018 CITROEN DS4 low oil pressure

8
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). Preferably, use a roof
box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter...) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after around the first 1,900 miles (3,000
kilometres) that you will see the fuel
consumption settle down to a consistent
average. Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.
Do not open the bonnet when there is a
very strong wind.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns).

Topping up the engine oil level
F Locate the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
For more information about petrol or Diesel
engine, refer to the corresponding section.
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 ignition-triggered oil
level indicator in the instrument panel does not
provide a valid information during 30 minutes.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for inter val details for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the coolant
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The fluid level should be close to
the "MA X" mark. Verify this, with the
engine off, by reading the level on
the filler neck.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services. To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with
the engine cool.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant 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 when you need to
top up in an emergency, place 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 the level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Temporary puncture
repair kit
This kit comprises a compressor and a sealant
cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures
which could affect the tyre, located on the
tyre tread or shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check and
adjust the pressure of the tyre.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-
inflation detection, the under-inflation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the system
is reinitialised by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair. Only
the 12 V socket at the front of
the vehicle allows the compressor to be
connected for long enough to repair or
inflate the vehicle tyre.
The other 12 V sockets of the vehicle
are not designed to be used with the
compressor.
Access to the kit Composition of the kit
1.
12 V compressor, with built-in pressure
gauge.
2. Bottle of sealant, with built-in hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.
Repair procedure
F Park the vehicle without obstructing any
traffic and apply the parking brake.
F

F
ollow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing
high visibility vest, etc.) according to the
legislation in force in the country where you
are driving.
F

S
witch off the ignition.
This kit is installed in the under floor storage,
under the boot floor.
F

U

In the event of a breakdown

191
After about 7 minutes, if a pressure of
2 bars is not reached, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a
network dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
F

P
lace the switch in the " O" position.
F

D
isconnect the compressor's electric plug
from the vehicle's 12 V socket.
F

R
eplace the cap on the valve.
F

R
emove the kit.
F

R
emove and then store the bottle of sealant. Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date for the liquid is marked
on the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle by the
roadside, take it to a member of the dealer
network or an authorised waste disposal
site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from the dealer network
or a qualified workshop.
Do not exceed the speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
You can also use the compressor,
without injecting sealant, to check and if
necessary adjust the tyre pressures.
F

R
emove the valve cap from the tyre and
place it in a clean area.
F

U
ncoil the pipe stowed under the
compressor.
F

S

witch on the compressor by moving the
switch to the position " I" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant is
injected under pressure into the tyre; do not
disconnect the hose from the valve during
this operation (risk of splashing).
F

D

rive immediately for approximately three
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 12 and 37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)),
to plug the puncture.
F

S

top to check the repair and measure the
tyre pressure using the kit.
F

S
crew the pipe onto the valve and tighten
