Checks






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 inter val 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'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 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 level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.

220
Checks










Coolant level


The coolant level should be between
the two marks. In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.










Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.








The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.

When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.

221
8
Checks
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 (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.








Used products


Topping up

The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.











Additive level
(1.6 HDi 110 Diesel versions
with particle emissions filter)
The additive reser voir low level is indicated by
the display of this message.

Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning, this fluid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.



















Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid

To check or top up the fluid, stop the
vehicle, apply the parking brake and
switch off the engine.


)
Open the bonnet and secure it with the
stay.

)
Open the filler cap for the screenwash
reservoir.

)
Check the level using the gauge, then
top-up if necessary.

)
Refit the cap on the reser voir and close the
bonnet.
In wintry conditions, the use of fluid with
an ethyl alcohol or methanol base is
recommended.

Checks






Checks













12 V battery


Electrolyte level

For access to the battery, refer to the
"12V battery" section.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement inter vals for these
components.



















Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement inter val for this
component.














Oil filter

If necessary, top up using distilled water,
removing the battery cap from each cell.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
a month.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to "12V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the maintenance and warranty guide and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The electrolyte level must be between the
"LOWER LEVEL" and "UPPER LEVEL" marks. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

Checks






Manual gearbox

Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for ser vicing of the
gearbox.







"CVT" gearbox

Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for ser vicing of the
"CVT" gearbox.










Particle emissions filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this
warning lamp accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen. As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h) for
about 20 minutes (with the 1.6 litre HDi
engine the minimum speed is 36 mph
(60 km/h)).
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.

224
Checks
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 ser vices.















Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.


Brake disc wear




















Parking brake


If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two ser vices.















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.

Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)


The values for maximum towed weights type
approved according to the sales zone (see the
tables on the following pages).
The exact values are given in your vehicle's
registration document as well as on the
manufacturer's plate.
They are also mentioned in sales brochures.
For more details, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 kg).
The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres;
the towed load mentioned must be reduced
by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed
60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a
reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to
protect the engine; if the ambient temperature
is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.

The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the
GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by an equal amount. Please note that
towing using a lightly loaded towing
vehicle may have an adverse effect
on its road holding
.
