Checks
On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel;
refer to the engine compar tment view on the
"Diesel engine" page.










Running out of fuel (Diesel)

If the tank on your vehicle is fitted witha misfuel prevention device, refer to thesection "Access - § Misfuel prevention (Diesel)".
)
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel.)
Open the bonnet. )
If necessary, unclip the style cover for
access to the priming pump.
) Slacken the bleed screw. )
Squeeze and release the priming pump
repeatedly until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe.
) Tighten the bleed screw.)
Operate the star ter until the engine star ts (if the engine fails to star t at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).) If the engine fails to star t after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again,
th
en the starter.) Put the style cover back in position and clip it in place, ensuring that it has clippedcorrectly. )
Close the bonnet.

2 litre HDi engine


If the engine does not star t first time, don't keep trying. Star t the procedure
again from the beginning.

Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.

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

When working under the bonnet, take care, as cer tain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).


Oil level

The reading will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and theengine has been off for more than30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the ignition
is switched on using the oil level indicator in the
instrument panel, or using the dipstick.

Engine oil change

Refer to the ser vicing 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.


Oil specifi cation

The oil must correspond to your engineand conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services. CITROËNrecommends that you check the oil level, and top up if necessary, every3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Before doing anything under the bonnet,switch off the ignition (Readylamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm,
the temperature of the coolant is regulated bythe fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan ma
y operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the en
gine is cold.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.


Coolant specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the en
gine cold,
to check the level. Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the ser vicing booklet for the inter val for
this operation.

Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 standard.
In addition, as the cooling system ispressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrewthe cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and topup the level.

Screenwash / headlamp
wash fluid level
To check the level or top up the fluid on vehicle
fitted with headlamp washers, immobilise the
vehicle and switch of the en
gine. )Open the bonnet and secure it with
the stay. )Open the screenwash reser voir filler cap.

To p p i ng up

This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is
indicated by illumination of
the ser vice warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the instrument panelscreen.

Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.

)
Take and pinch the level gauge to block itsbreather.)
Remove the gauge completely from
the reservoir to read the level in thetransparent section.) To p u p i f n e c e s s a ry. )
Refit the filler cap to the reser voir and close the bonnet.

Checks
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to anauthorised waste disposal site.
Used products







Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servicing
booklet and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.The presence of this label, in particular with
the
Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop is required when replacing or
disconnecting the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery.12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularl
y in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to
the "Practical information" section for details of
the precautions to be taken before disconnectingthe battery and following its reconnection.

241Checks





6-speed electronic
gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
Brake wear depends on the st
yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor tdistances. It may be necessary
to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
th
e brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.















Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Electric parking brake
This system does not require anyroutine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the systemchecked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
For more information, see "Driving - Electric parking brake - § Operating faults".

















Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers very specific products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units, the use of a high pressure washer in the engine compar tment is strictly prohibited.
