Checking levels

Check all of these levels regularly and 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.


Oil level


Engine oil change

Refer to the ser vicing booklet for the inter val for
this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.


Oil specifi cation

The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.



Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide
for the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 standard.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
The reading will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the ignition
is switched on using the oil level indicator in the
instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
When working under the bonnet, take
care, as cer tain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two ser vices. CITROËN
recommends that you check the oil
level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration of the par ticle emissions
filter may be accompanied by the smell
of "burning", which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.







Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for the
details of the level checking inter val
for this component.
According to your version of instrument panel, the start of
saturation of the par ticle emissions filter is indicated by:
