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.

Topping-up the engine oil
Oil grade
The oil  must  be  the  correct  grade  for  your Â
e
ngine  and  conform  to  the  manufacturer's Â
r
ecommendations.
Refer
 to  the  under-bonnet  view  for  the  location Â
o
f  the  oil  filler  cap  on  your  vehicle.
F
U
nscrew the filler cap for access to the
filler
 orifice.
F
Â
P
our  in  the  oil  in  small  quantities,  avoiding Â
s
pills  onto  the  engine  (risk  of  fire).
F
Â
W
ait  a  few  minutes  before  checking  the Â
l
evel  again  using  the  dipstick.
F
Â
T
op-up  again  if  necessary.
F
Â
A
fter  checking  and  topping  up,  carefully Â
r
efit  the  oil  filler  cap  and  the  dipstick  to  its Â
h
ousing.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for  details  of  the  interval  for  this  operation.
In
 order  to  maintain  the  reliability  of  the  engine Â
a
nd  emissions  control  system,  never  use Â
a
dditives  in  the  engine  oil.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be:
-  b etween  the  "FULL " or "F"
 and Â
"LO
W" or " L"
 marks  for  VTi  68 Â
a
nd  VTi  68  S&S  engines,
In
Â
addition,  as  the  cooling  system  is  pressurised,
 w
ait
Â
at
Â
least  one  hour  after  switching  off  the
 e
ngine
Â
before  carrying  out  any  work.
To
Â
avoid
Â
any  risk  of  scalding,  unscrew  the  cap
 b
y
Â
two
Â
turns  to  allow  the  pressure  to  drop.  When
 t
he
Â
pressure  has  dropped,  remove  the  cap  and
 t
op
Â
up
Â
the
 level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the ma nufacturer's r ecommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. - Â
b
etween  the  "
MIN "  and  "
MAX "  marks  for Â
t
he  PureTech  82  engine.
When  the  engine  is  warm,  the  temperature  of Â
t
he  coolant  is  regulated  by  the  fan.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever,  check  regularly  that  the  terminals a
re  correctly  tightened  (versions  without  quick
 r
elease  terminals)  and  that  the  connections
 a
re  clean.Refer to the manufacturer's service  schedule  for  details  of  the Â
r
eplacement  intervals  for  these Â
c
omponents.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine  oil  is  changed.
Refer
 to  the  manufacturer's Â
s
ervice  schedule  for  details  of Â
t
he  replacement  interval  for  this Â

omponent.
Oil filter
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
O ther wise,  have  them  checked  by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop.
Depending
 on  the  environment  (e.g.  dusty Â
a
tmosphere)  and  the  use  of  the  vehicle Â
(e.g.
 city  driving),  replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A
 clogged  passenger  compartment  filter  may Â
h
ave  an  adverse  effect  on  the  per formance Â
o
f  the  air  conditioning  system  and  generate Â
u
ndesirable
 o
dours.
When
 carrying  out  any  operation  on  the Â
12

f
or  details  of  the  precautions  to  be  taken  before Â
s
tarting  work.

General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances such  as  sulphuric  acid  and  lead.
They
 must  be  disposed  of  in Â
a
ccordance  with  regulations  and  must Â
n
ot,  in  any  circumstances,  be  discarded Â
w
ith  household  waste.
Take
 used  remote  control  batteries  and Â
v
ehicle batteries to a special collection
point. Protect
 your  eyes  and  face  before  h
andling  the  battery.
All
 operations  on  the  battery  must  be Â
c
arried  out  in  a  well  ventilated  area  and Â
a
way  from  naked  flames  and  sources Â
o
f  sparks,  so  as  to  avoid  the  risk  of Â
e
xplosion  or  fire.
Wash
 your  hands  after wards.
