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.
Refer
  to   the   "Checking   levels"   section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message "Oil level   measurement   invalid"   in   the   instrument   panel.
Contact
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified
 w

orkshop.
In
  the   event   of   a   fault   with   the   electric   indicator,  
t

he   oil   level   is   no   longer   monitored.
If
  the   system   is   faulty,   you   must   check   the  
e

ngine   oil   level   using   the   manual   dipstick  
l

ocated   under   the   bonnet.
Refer
  to   the   "Checking   levels"   section.

Checks

313
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  
p

anel for vehicles with an electric oil
level
  gauge,   or   using   the   dipstick.Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section   for   the   location   of   the   dipstick   in   the  
e

ngine   compartment   of   your   vehicle.
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
 
t

wo
 
services
 
(or
 
oil
 
changes).
 
CITROËN
 
r

ecommends
 
that
 
you
 
check
 
the
 
level,
 
and
 
top
 
u

p
 
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

n
I

f   you   find   that   the   level   is   above   the   A   mark   or  
belo

w the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.

A
fter   checking   the   level,   carefully   refit   the  
o

il   filler   cap   and   the   dipstick   in   its   tube.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for   details   of   the   interval   for   this   operation.

the
 
condition   of   the   brakes   checked,   even  
b

etween
 v
ehicle
 s
ervices.
Unless
 
there   is   a   leak   in   the   circuit,   a   drop   in  
t

he
 
brake
  fluid   level   indicates   that   the   brake
