Checks

213
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).
Oil level
The check of the the level is done
out with the dipstick, located under
the bonnet. Refer to the description
of your engine compartment for the
position of the dipstick.Engine oil change
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. 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.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum
If the level is above this
mark, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum
Top up the level through the
oil filler orifice, using the
correct grade of oil for your
engine. The level must never
be below this mark.
This check will only be correct if the vehicle is
on level ground and the engine has 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 km).
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.

Checks

218
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wearParking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Checks

242Consult your mobile telephone's user manual and enter
the pairing code recorded in step 7 in the telephone.
BLUETOOTH® TELEPHONE
WITH


VOICE

RECOGNITION
The system says "Start the pairing procedure on the telephone.
Consult the instructions in the telephone manual ".
If the code is incorrect, the system locks. To clear the code:
-

check that the telephone's voice recognition is not activated,
-


with the ignition on and the audio system active, press the END
CALL

button for 2 seconds, 3 times in succession.
When it detects a Bluetooth
® compatible mobile telephone,
the

system says "Please say the name of the telephone after
the

beep".
After the audible signal, allocate a name to the telephone
by saying the name of your choice. The system says "Allocate an order of priority between 1 and 7.
One is the highest level of priority
".
Give a number between 1 and 7 to establish the level of
priority of the mobile telephone.
The system says and confirms the "name of the telephone " and
the "number" of its priority.
a
nswer "Ye s
".
Say "No" to return to step 13.
The systems says "Pairing complete" then emits an audible signal
and deactivates the voice recognition.
The services available depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the Bluetooth
® telephone used. Check in your telephone
user

manual and with your service provider for the services you have access to.
If the system does not detect the Bluetooth
® compatible mobile
telephone, the matching process stops ands is accompanied by an
audible signal.
If you select a level of priority which has already been allocated to
another telephone, the system asks you if you wish to replace this
level of priority.

264The satellite navigation system guides the driver to the destination
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination required by the user, then
it calculates the route and finally it provides the visual and vocal
guidance instructions.
A point of interest (POI) is represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an airport, a station, a town
hall, ...
What is a point of interest (POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest icon").
They are classified in 5 groups and identified by one
colour for each group:
-
Shops, finance and businesses (Green),
-

V
ehicles and travel (Dark blue),
-
Restaurants (Orange),
-

Public places and emergency services (Brown),
-

Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS (Global Positioning System) consists of several
satellites arranged around the earth.
They continuously
transmit digital signals which travel at the speed of
light, on 2 different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives its position
in relation to the satellites detected and the time of
transmission of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to calculate its position
and therefore that of the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map database stored
on the hard disk allows the vehicle to be positioned
on the road network, so improving the accuracy of the
vehicle location function.
GPS system
What is the navigation system and GPS? The system's measurements may be inaccurate if the vehicle is:
-

in a tunnel or underground car park,
-


underneath a two-level motorway
,
-

in an area with several very high buildings,
-


surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation and the reception of the GPS
information, the displayed information may disappear from the
screen temporarily

.
What precautions should be observed in order to make
best use of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication equipment (personal
computers, etc.) near the GPS aerial.
Do not affix any reflective films or films containing carbon to the
windows.
