Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f   a   level   drops   significantly,   have   the   corresponding   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Engine oil level
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  
u

p   if   necessary,   every   3   000   miles   (5   000   kms).
The
  check   is   carried   out   either   when  
t

he   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.
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.
Take   care   when   working   under   the  
b

onnet,   as   certain   areas   of   the   engine  
m

ay   be   extremely   hot   (risk   of   burns)  
a

nd   the   cooling   fan   could   start   at   any  
t

ime   (even   with   the   ignition   off).

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

As
  soon   as   the   traffic   conditions   permit,

a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,

Following

you
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice   the   emission   of   water   vapour   at

n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or

When

refer
 
t

o the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions
 
to

taken
 
before

and
 
following
 
its

Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty a tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle   (e.g.   city d

riving),
 r
eplace them twice as often if necessar y .
A

 a
