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

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

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

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to  the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never

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

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

too low.
The
 
warning   lamp   comes   on   when   the   ignition
