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

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

B = minimum
Never allow the level 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
standards.
Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Oil viscosity grade
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
scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Only use the fl uid recom-
mended 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 dealer
network or at a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or at an authorised waste
disposal site.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this
fan can operate 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
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 specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical 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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced
regularly.
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
For information on disc and drum
surface wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services. Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is
too great or there is a reduction in
the performance of the system, the
parking brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
