possible.  
Remove the dipstick before filling.  
Check the level after filling (never

Refit the oil filler cap before closing the

Levels  
In order to regenerate the filter, you  
are advised to drive at a speed higher  
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five  
minutes as soon as possible, when  
traffic conditions permit (until the  
message disappears and the service  
warning lamp goes off).  
During regeneration of the particle  
emission filter, the noise of a relay  
operating may be heard under the  
dashboard.

ground with the engine cold. Unscrew  
the cap integrated with the gauge and  
check the level which must be between  
the MIN and MAX marks.  
When the engine is warm, the  
temperature of the coolant is controlled  
by the engine fan. As this fan can  
operate with the ignition key removed  
and because the cooling system is  
pressurised, wait for at least one hour  
after the engine has stopped before  
carrying out any work.  
Screenwash level  
For best quality cleaning and for your  
safety, we would advise that you use  
products of the CITROËN range.  
For optimum cleaning and to avoid  
freezing, this fluid must not be topped  
up or replaced with plain water.  
If the message is still displayed and  
if the service warning lamp remains  
on, contact a CITROËN dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to  
release the pressure to prevent any  
risk of scalding. When the pressure  
has dropped, remove the cap and top  
up the level with coolant.  
If fluid has to be added frequently,  
this indicates a fault which must be  
checked by a CITROËN dealer as  
soon as possible.  
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:  
approximately 3 litres.  
Topping up  
This additive must be topped up by  
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified  
workshop without delay.  
Diesel additive level  
(Diesel with particle  
filter)  
Waste products  
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil  
with the skin.  
Brake fluid is harmful to health and  
very corrosive.  
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid  
or coolant into drains or into the ground  
but into the containers dedicated to this  
use at a CITROËN dealer (France) or  
an authorised waste disposal site.  
Topping up  
The level must be between the MIN  
and MAX marks on the expansion  
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is  
required to top up the level, have the  
system checked by a CITROËN dealer  
or a qualified workshop.  
The minimum level of this additive  
is indicated by lighting of the service  
warning lamp, accompanied by an  
audible signal and a message in the  
screen.  
When this occurs with the engine  
running it is due to the start of  
saturation of the particle filter  
(exceptionally prolonged urban type  
driving conditions: low speed, long  
traffic jams, ...).
