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.

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
a
level
s
ur face
with
the
engine
having
been
off
f
or
more
than
30
minutes. A = M

Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case
o
f vehicles used in town, over short
d
istances. It may be necessary to
h
ave
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
p
ads
are
worn.

fficiency may be reduced. Make light
b
rake applications to dry and defrost
t
he brakes.
