Checking levels
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. The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. 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).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of
it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
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. 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.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B .
Practical information

177
A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the mark A or
below the mark B , 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.
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.
Topping up the engine oil level
F Unscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler opening.
F

spills on engine components (risk of fire).

fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
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.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face with
the engine cool.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
If the engine does not start first time, do not
keep trying but start the procedure again from
the beginning.For more information on Misfuel
prevention (Diesel) , refer to the
corresponding section.

Temporary puncture
repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view
explanatory videos.Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair
of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Only the 12 V socket at the front of
the vehicle allows the compressor to be
connected for long enough to repair or
inflate the vehicle tyre.
The other 12 V sockets of the vehicle
are not designed to be used with the
compressor.
Under-inflation detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning
lamp will remain on until the system is
reinitialised.
For more information on Under-inflation
detection , refer to the corresponding
section.

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F

r
elease the bonnet by activating the internal
control, then the external control,
F

l
ift the bonnet, then hold it in place with its
st ay.
(+) Positive terminal.
It has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible, use
the engine mounting.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a back-up battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a battery booster. Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the back-up
battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and
a capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
F
L
ift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
