Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet,  as  certain  areas  of  the  engine Â
m
ay  be  extremely  hot  (risk  of  burns)  and Â
t
he  cooling  fan  could  start  at  any  time Â
(
even  with  the  ignition  off).
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out  with  the  dipstick,  located  under Â
t
he  bonnet.  For  the  position  of  the Â
d
ipstick,  refer  to  the  under-bonnet Â
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, Â
y
our  vehicle  must  be  on  a  level Â
s
ur face,  with  the  engine  off  for  at  least Â
3
0Â minutes.
It
 is  normal  to  top  up  the  oil  level  between Â
t
wo  services  (or  oil  changes).  CITROËN Â
r
ecommends  that  you  check  the  level,  and  top Â
u
p  if  necessary,  every  3  000  miles  (5  000  km). If
 you  find  that  the  oil  level  is  above  the  A  mark Â
o
r below the B Â mark, Â do not star t the engine.
-
Â
I
f  the  level  is  above  the  MAX
Â
mark  (risk Â
o
f  engine  damage),  contact  a  CITROËN Â
d
ealer  or  a  qualified  workshop.
-
Â
I
f  the  level  is  below  the  MIN
Â
mark, Â you Â
m
ust  top-up  the  engine  oil.
Refer
 to  the  under-bonnet  view  for  the  location Â
o
f  the  dipstick  on  your  vehicle.
F
Â
T
ake  the  dipstick  by  its  coloured  grip  and Â
p
ull  it  out  completely.
F
Â
W
ith  the  end  of  the  dipstick  with  a  clean Â
a
nd  non-fluffy  cloth.
F
Â
R
efit  the  dipstick  and  push  it  fully  down, Â
t
hen  pull  it  out  again  for  a  visual  check  of Â
t
he  oil  level:  the  level  must  be  between  the Â
t
wo  marks  A  and  B.

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids  with  the  skin.
Most
 of  these  fluids  are  harmful  to Â
h
ealth  or  indeed  very  corrosive.
Do
 not  discard  used  oil  or  fluids  into Â
s
ewers  or  onto  the  ground.
Take

a
 qualified  workshop  (France)  or  to  an Â
a
