Checks
On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel;
refer to the corresponding engine compar tment
view.











Running out of fuel (Diesel)


If the tank on your vehicle is fitted witha misfuel prevention device, refer to the"Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.
)
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel.)
Open the bonnet. )
If necessary, unclip the style cover for
access to the priming pump.
) Slacken the bleed screw. )
Squeeze and release the priming pump
repeatedly until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe.
) Tighten the bleed screw.)
Operate the star ter until the engine star ts (if the engine fails to star t at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).) If the engine fails to star t after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again,
th
en the starter.) Put the style cover back in position and clip it in place, ensuring that it has clippedcorrectly. )
Close the bonnet.

2 litre HDi engine


If the engine does not star t first time, don't keep trying. Star t the procedure
again from the beginning.

Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.

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.

When working under the bonnet, take care, as cer tain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).


Oil level

The reading will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and theengine has been off for more than30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the ignition
is switched on using the oil level indicator in the
instrument panel, or usin
g the dipstick.
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 engineand conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two ser vices. CITROËNrecommends that you check the oil level, and top up if necessary,every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Before doing anything under the bonnet,switch off the ignition (Readylamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.

239Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.


Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.


Coolant specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Power steering fluid
level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the engine cold,
to check the level. Th
e brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the ser vicing booklet for the inter val for
this operation.

Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT4 standard.
In addition, as the cooling system ispressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrewthe cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and topup the level. When the en
gine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can
operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a particle
emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the engine is cold
.

Screenwash / headlamp
wash level
To check the level or top up the fluid on vehicle
fitted with headlamp washers, immobilise the
vehicle and switch of the en
gine. )Before opening the bonnet, ensure that the
engine has completely stopped. )Open the screenwash reser voir filler cap.

To p p i ng up

This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is
indicated by illumination of
the ser vice warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the instrument panelscreen.

Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.

)
Take and pinch the level gauge to block itsbreather.)
Remove the gauge completely from
the reservoir to read the level in thetransparent section.) To p u p i f n e c e s s a ry. )
Refit the filler cap to the reser voir and close the bonnet.

Checks
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to anauthorised waste disposal site.
Used products







Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servicing
booklet and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.The presence o
f 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.
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.
When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnectin
g the battery and following its reconnection.

243Checks
6-speed electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
Brake wear depends on the st
yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor tdistances. It may be necessary tohave the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.















Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Electric parking brake
This system does not require anyroutine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the systemchecked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.

















Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers very specific products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units, the use of a high pressure washer in the engine compar tment is strictly prohibited.
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section.
