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
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.If you find that the level is above the A mark or

B = MIN
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level

for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
