Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out with the dipstick, located under
t
he bonnet. For the position of the
d
ipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
v
iew on a previous page.Checking with dipstick
If you find that the oil level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
Take
care
when
working
under
the
bonnet,
as
certain
areas
of
the
engine
may
be
extremely
hot
(risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
a
ny
time
(even
with
the
ignition
off).
Check
all
of
these
levels
regularly,
in
line
with
the
manufacturer's
service
schedule.
Top
them

if
necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If
a
level
drops
significantly,
have
the
corresponding

USING THE TELEPHONE
Pairing a telephone
First connection
The services offered depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the Bluetooth telephone used.
Consult your telephone's manual and your operator to find out which services are available to you.
Activate
the telephone's Bluetooth function and

telephone
with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio system must be carried out with the
vehicle stationary
and the ignition on.
Visit
www.citroen.co.uk for more information (compatibility, additional help, ...).
