Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator,   the   state   of   the   engine   oil   level   is  
d

isplayed   in   the   instrument   panel   for   a   few  
s

econds,   after   the   servicing   information.
The
  level   read   will   only   be   correct   if  
t

he   vehicle   is   on   level   ground   and   the  
e

ngine   has   been   off   for   more   than  
3

0 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the display of the message "Oil   level   incorrect"   in   the   instrument   panel  
s

creen,   accompanied   by   the   service   warning  
l

amp   and   an   audible   signal.
If
  the   low   oil   level   is   confirmed   by   a   check   using  
t

he   dipstick,   the   level   must   be   topped   up   to  
a

void   damage   to   the   engine.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil   level   measurement   invalid"   in   the  
in

strument
 pan
el.

l

ocated   under   the   bonnet.

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).

The check is carried out either when the   ignition   is   switched   on   using   the  
o

il   level   indicator   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   for   vehicles   so   equipped,   or  
u

sing   the   dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

regularly,
 
in

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.
If   you   find   that   the   level   is   above   the   A   mark   or
