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.

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.
