Coolant level
The oil must correspond to your en-
gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly
and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be extremely hot (risk of burns).
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm,
the temperature of the coolant is regu-
lated 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 en-
gine is cold.
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, un-
screw the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop. When the pres-
sure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up the level.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
Oil level
Fluid change
The reading will only be
correct if the vehicle is on
level ground and the engine
has been off for more than
15 minutes.
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the in-
terval for this operation.
This fluid must be changed regu-
larly. Fluid which has been used for
too long may cause a loss of braking
efficiency.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Check this level also between each
scheduled service and before long
journeys.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations
and fulfil the DOT4 standards.
Coolant change
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Oil change
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the in-
terval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In order to maintain the re-
liability of the engine and
emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine
oil is prohibited.
