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).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the
o
il level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using
the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
r
emove it completely.
F
W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
n
on-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
p
ull it out again to make the visual check:
t
he correct level is between the marks A
and B .
It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two
services
(or
oil
changes).
CITROËN
r
ecommends
that
you
check
the
level,
and
top-
up
if
necessary,
every
3
000
miles
(5
000
kms).
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.
To
ensure
that
the
reading
is
correct,
y
our
vehicle
must
be
parked
on
a
level
s
ur face
with
the
engine
having
been
off
f
or
more
than
30
minutes. A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A
mark or
belo
w the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f damage to the engine), contact a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you
m
ust top-up the engine oil.

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
e
xceed it.
In
addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
w
ait
at
least one hour after switching off the
e
ngine
before carrying out any work.
To
avoid
any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
b
y
two
turns to allow the pressure to drop.
W
hen the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap
and
top-up the level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
t
he coolant is regulated by the fan.To p p i n g - u p
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay
by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
w
arning lamp, accompanied by an
a
udible signal and a message that
t
he particle filter additive level is
too low.
The
warning lamp comes on when the ignition
i
s
switched on, or every time the stalk is
o
perated,
until the reservoir is refilled.
Next
time
you stop, refill the screenwash /
h
eadlamp
wash reservoir.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reservoir low level is reached this
warning
lamp comes on in the
in
strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
signal and a message. Avoid
prolonged contact of used oil or
f
luids 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
a
uthorised waste disposal site.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
a
re clean and correctly tightened,
p
articularly in summer and winter.Refer
to the manufacturer's s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer
to the manufacturer's
s
ervice schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery
with special technology and
s
pecification.
T
he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or
a qualified workshop is essential when
r
eplacing or disconnecting the battery.
Unless
other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
a
tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
h
ave an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate u
ndesirable o dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter
is indicated by the fixed
i
llumination of this warning lamp
a
ccompanied by a warning message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate
the filter by driving at a
s
peed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
t
he
warning lamp goes off.
If
the warning lamp stays on, this
i
ndicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular,
refer to the corresponding
s
ection.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
regeneration operations may be
a
ccompanied by a "burning" smell,
w
hich is per fectly normal.
Following
prolonged operation of the
v
ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you
may, in exceptional circumstances,
n
otice the emission of water vapour at
the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
n
ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
the environment.
When
carrying
out
work
on
the
battery,
refer
t
o the " 12 V batter y " section for details of the
precautions
to
be
taken
before
disconnecting
t
he
battery
and
following
its
reconnection.

Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case o
f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to have
t
he condition of the brakes checked,
e
ven between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or
a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality
an
d
sp
ecification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking
system, CITROËN selects and
o
ffers very specific products.
After
washing the vehicle, dampness,
o
r in wintry conditions, ice can form
on
the brake discs and pads: braking
e
fficiency may be reduced. Make light
b
rake applications to dry and defrost
t
he brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the " Electric
parking brake - Operating faults "
section.
This system does not require any
routine
servicing. However, in the
e
vent of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance (no oil change).
Refer
to the manufacturer's service
s
chedule for the checking interval for
t
his
c
omponent.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer
to the manufacturer's service
s
chedule for details of the level
checking
interval for this component.
To
avoid damaging the electrical units,
n
ever use a high pressure jet wash in
t
he engine compartment.
