Checks






Checking levels


Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremelyhot (risk of burns).

Oil level
The check is carried out with the dipstick.
This check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and theengine has 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).
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil levelindicator in the instrument panel is not validduring the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of theinterval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.

If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
Dipstick

There are two marks on the dipstick:
A
= m
aximum
If you fill past this mark,contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. B
= minimum
Never allow the level to fallbelow this mark.
