Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Oil level
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for the inter val
for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 s t a n d a r d . Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
The readin

vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when theignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel, or usingthe dipstick.
When working under the bonnet, take care, as cer tain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services. CITROËN recommends that you check the oillevel, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).

This doesnot affect the behaviour of the vehicleor the environment.
Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval for this component.
