The brake fluid must conform to the

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).
