CHECKING LEVELS
Brake fluid level
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine oil between
services. The manufacturer recommends
that the oil level be checked, and topped up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.


Coolant level

The coolant level must be mea-
sured when the engine is cold
and should be between the
"LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.

*
According to country.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

Changing the coolant fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.

Power steering fluid level

Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.

Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).

Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter) The minimum level of this additive is indicat-
ed by lighting of the service warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.


Waste productsCHECK
S

Battery

Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.


Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose at
CITROËN dealers (France) or a
qualifi ed workshop, or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Do not discard the oil fi lter through public
channels, deposit it in the containers dedi-
cated to this use in the CITROËN network
(France) or a qualifi ed workshop or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
