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

Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers 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 reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, 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 u-
id or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir

 Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the

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 maxi-
mum 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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION86 -

ance with the servicing schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or

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
