Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
m
ay be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
t
he cooling fan could start at any time
(
even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out with the dipstick, located under
t
he bonnet. For the position of the
d
ipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
v
iew on a previous page.
Checking with dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
To
ensure the accuracy of the reading,
y
our vehicle must be on a level
s
ur face, with the engine off for at least
3
0 minutes.
It
is normal to top up the oil level between
t
wo services (or oil changes). CITROËN
r
ecommends that you check the level, and top
u
p if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km). If
you find that the oil level is above the A mark
o
r below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f engine damage), contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you
m
ust top-up the engine oil.
Refer
to the under-bonnet view for the location
o
f the dipstick on your vehicle.

t
he oil level: the level must be between the
t
wo marks A and B.
