checking oil Citroen DS5 HYBRID4 RHD 2014 1.G Owner's Manual

73Monitoring
Engine oil level indicator
Lack of oil
This is indicated by the flashing of " O I L" or an alert message in the instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, it is essential that the level is topped up to prevent damage to the engine. Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Indicator fault
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL- -" or the appearance of an alert message in the instrument panel. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault with the electric gauge, the oil level is no longer monitored. If the system is faulty, you should check the engine oil level using the dipstick under the bonnet. Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, at the same time as the service information.
The check of this level is only valid if the vehicle is on a level sur face, with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct

217Practical information
Removing the cartridge
 Stow the black pipe.  Detach the angled base from the white pipe.  Support the compressor vertically.  Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid. The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the cartridge. The sealant cartridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, it must be replaced. After use, do not discard the cartridge into the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant cartridge, available from CITROËN dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to: - check or adjust the pressure of your tyres, - inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
 Turn the selector A to the "Air" position.  Uncoil the black pipe H fully.  Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory. If necessary, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.
 Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.  Start the vehicle and let the engine run.  Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B in position "I" ; to deflate: switch B in position "O" and press button C ), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label or the accessory's pressure label.  Remove the kit then stow it.

The various caps and covers allow access for checking the levels of the various fluids, for replacing certain components and for priming the fuel system.

1. Power steering reservoir. 2. Screenwash and headlamp wash reservoir. 3. Coolant reservoir. 4. Brake fluid reservoir. 5. Battery / Fuses. 6. Fusebox. 7. Air filter. 8. Engine oil dipstick. 9. Engine oil filler cap. 10. Priming pump. 11. Bleed screw. HDi 160 PEF 6- SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX

Checking levels
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).
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 with and electric oil level gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level sur face and the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. 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.
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.
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
Refer to the "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
 Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.  Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks Aand B .

257Checks
A = MA X
B = MIN
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.
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
Refer to the "Diesel engine" section for the location of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.  Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).  Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.  Add more oil if necessary.  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 maintenance and warranty guide for details of the interval 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.

Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide for details of the checking interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 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 any routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those in the braking system, CITROËN selects and offers very specific products. After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section.
