CHECKING THE LEVELS
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
CITROËN network. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a parti-
cle fi lter, the engine fan may operate
after the ignition has been switched
off, even when the engine is cold.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this
mark.

B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of addi-tives in engine oil
is prohibited. Brake fluid level:
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.

Note: brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate 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.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Power steering reservoir

 Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be above
the MIN. mark and close to the
MAX. mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
CITROËN .
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dipstick.

85PRACTICAL INFORMATION-
CHECKS Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.

Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, CITROËN selects and offers
quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-
sary to re-prime the circuit:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF (PETROL)
In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press the
switch on the corner of the front right-
hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced
regularly.
If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
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.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the disc and drum wear status, contact
a CITROËN dealer. Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.

To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing
booklet which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your
battery checked by a CITROËN dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION86 -
CHANGING A WHEEL

- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
- Apply the handbrake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst or
reverse gear. Removing a wheel
- Chock the rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed, using the chock 2 .
- Remove the wheel trim using the wheelbrace 1 , by pulling at the
valve passage hole.
- Slacken the wheel bolts.
- Place the jack under the locating point on the sub-frame A that
is closest to the wheel to be
changed. Ensure that the entire
surface of the jack base plate is
in contact with the ground.
- Extend the jack, completely unscrew the bolts and remove
the wheel.
Access to the spare wheel and
the jack
The wheel is located outside the vehi-
cle, under the rear fl oor, supported by
a metal carrier.
- Remove the jack and the wheelbrace 1, secured behind the driver's
seat.

above the rear right wheel.
- Using the wheelbrace 1, slacken the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt, l ocated
on the inside near the closing system.
- Lift the carrier to release the hook rearwards, then lower it.
- Remove the chock 2 located in the spare wheel.

87PRACTICAL INFORMATION-
For your safety, always change
a wheel:
- on level, stable and non slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with fi rst or reverse gear engaged,
- with the vehicle chocked,
- making absolutely sure that the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location.
Never go underneath the vehicle
when it is raised using the jack only.
The jack and the tool kit are specifi c
to your vehicle. Do not use them for
other purposes.
Refitting the wheel
- After positioning the wheel, lightly
pre-tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace.
- Compress the jack and release it.
- Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
- Replace the trim, starting at the valve passage hole, and press it
on using the palm of the hand. Replacing the wheel in the

this type of washing on stubborn dirt,
do not persist on the headlamps, the
lights and their surround to avoid
damaging their coating and their
seal. Direction indicator side repeaters
