Practical information
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks
 
A
  (max) 
and
  B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–
 
above mark
   A: contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
– below mark  B : top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the 
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable 
for your engine and complies with the 
recommendations in the service schedule 
supplied with the vehicle (or available from 
your CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding engine compartment 
illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
 
W
 ait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
►
 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the  instrument panel when the ignition is 
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes 
following an addition of oil. 
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be  close to 
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 
container.
Engine coolant
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 level of coolant that is too low risks causing 
major damage to the engine; the coolant level 
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever 
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark, it 
is essential to top it up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the 
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 
least one hour after switching off the engine 
before carrying out any work.
In order 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.   

195
Practical information
7Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 
and top up to the required level.
Vehicle with electric motorDo not top up the coolant. 
If the level is close to or below 
the  "MIN"   mark, it is essential to contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
–
 
2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed 
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid 
containing an anti-freeze agent which is 
appropriate for the temperature conditions 
must be used in order to protect the system's 
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all 
circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limescale, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle filter)
On reaching the minimum level in 
the particle filter additive tank, one 
of these warning lamps comes on fixed, 
accompanied by an audible signal and a warning 
message.
Topping up
The topping up of this additive must be carried 
out quickly.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on the  Indicators and in 
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the 
AdBlue tank.
For more information on  AdBlue
® (BlueHDi), 
and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by 
CITROËN or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, CITROËN selects and offers 
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly 
tightened (versions without quick-release 
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions 
to take before any work on the 12   V 
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12   V lead-acid battery with 
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by 
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
