Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, after the servicing information.The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30
m

inutes.Oil level correct
This is indicated by the display of the message
"Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by the service warning
lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section. This is signalled by the display of the message
"Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking
levels,
refer to the corresponding section.

Checking levels
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
any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

F

R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level,
and top-up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. 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.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top-up the engine oil.

The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule

In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil. After topping-up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping-up.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe 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.
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "
12 V batter y " section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults " section.
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for details of the level
checking interval for this component.
To avoid damaging the electrical units,
never use a high pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
