Checks
Coolant level
Screenwash fluid level
Used products
Top up the level when necessary.
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never
exceed it.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
The cooling fan may start after switching
off the engine: take care with articles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
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 an
authorised waste disposal site.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low
level is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
multifunction screen.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
