Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when 
the ignition is switched on using the 
oil level indicator in the instrument 
panel for vehicles so equipped, or 
using the dipstick.
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.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or 
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-  If the level is above the MAX  mark (risk 
of damage to the engine), contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-  If the level is below the MIN  mark, you 
must top up the engine oil.
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your 
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face 
with the engine having been off for more than 
30  minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between 
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN 
recommends that you check the level, and top 
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
F  Locate the dipstick in the engine 
compartment of your vehicle.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" 
section.
F  Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
remove it completely.
F  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean 
non-fluffy cloth.
F  Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then 
pull it out again to make the visual check: 
the correct level is between the marks A 
and B .
A = MaX
B = MI n

Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, 
check that the oil is the correct grade for your 
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's 
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
F Locate the oil filler cap in the engine 
compartment of your vehicle.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" 
section.
F  Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler 
aperture.
F  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any 
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
F  Wait a few minutes before checking the 
level again using the dipstick.
F  Add more oil if necessary.
F  After checking the level, carefully refit the 
oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when 
switching on the ignition with the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel 
is not valid during the 30 minutes after 
topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine 
and emission control system, never use 
additives in the engine oil.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean 
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer 
and winter.
The 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 specification. The involvement 
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 
is essential when replacing 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.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty 
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. 
city driving), replace them twice as often if 
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may 
have an adverse effect on the per formance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. Replace the oil filter each time the 
engine oil is changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the replacement interval for this 
component.
Refer to the manufacturer's 
service schedule for details of the 
replacement intervals for these 
components.
When carrying out work on the battery, 
refer to the "12 V battery" section for 
details of the precautions to be taken 
before disconnecting the battery and 
following its reconnection.
