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.

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.

fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
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.
7
Practical information

193
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration
operations may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in case
of an issue, do not hesitate to have
the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a
month and before a long
j o u r n ey.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have
driven for more than 10
minutes or more
than 6

miles (10 kilometres) at over 31 mph
(50

km/h), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values
indicated on the label.
