Checking levels
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
A = MA X
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.
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).
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 services (or oil changes). CITROËN 
recommends that you check the level, and top 
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). B = MINIf you find that the level is above the A mark or 
below the B mark, do not star t the engine
