CHECKS
CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A = maximum
If you fi ll past this
mark, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

B = minimum
Never allow the lev-
el to fall below this
mark.
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 stan-
dards.
Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer’s requirements. Cooling system
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level. Only use the fl uid recommended
by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the CITROËN
network.
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 dipstick.
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.

CHECKS
CHECKS Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accor-
dance with the servicing schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and characteristics.
In order to optimise the op-
eration of units as important as the
braking circuit, CITROËN selects
and offers specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the elec-
trical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
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.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly.
If you drive in dusty conditions,
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.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the pump at least 10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must be
reprimed:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protective
cover which must fi rst be unclipped
and then removed,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.

Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximately
15 seconds of attempts, op-
erate the repriming pump
again approximately fi fteen times be-
fore trying again.
If the emission control warning light has
come on, it will only switch off after your
vehicle has been used several times.
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.
