Checks -> Levels for Your Citroen Dispatch Van Second Generation (2007-2015)

Levels  
LEVELS  
These regular maintenance operations  
will keep your vehicle in good running  
order. Consult the instructions at CITROËN  
dealerships or in the servicing booklet  
enclosed in the handbook pack.  
If you have to remove/refit the engine  
style cover, handle it with care to avoid  
damaging the fixing clips.  
To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control  
systems, the use of additives in engine oil is prohibited.  
Changing the brake fluid  
Oil level  
The brake fluid must be changed at  
the intervals stated, according to the  
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.  
Oil change  
Check the level regularly and top up  
between changes.  
It is imperative that this is carried out at the  
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of  
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements  
in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions  
at CITROËN dealerships.  
Use fluids recommended by the  
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.  
Check the level with the vehicle level,  
engine cold, using the dipstick.  
The level must be between the MIN and  
MAX marks on the reservoir.  
Dipstick  
There are two marks on the  
dipstick:  
If fluid has to be added frequently, this  
indicates a failure which must be checked by  
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.  
Remove the dipstick before filling.  
A = maximum  
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel  
supplied when filling via the sump opening.  
If you fill past this mark,  
contact a CITROËN dealer.  
Check the level after filling (never exceed  
the max mark).  
B = minimum  
Warning lights  
Never allow the level to fall  
below this mark.  
Screw the cap back onto the sump before  
closing the bonnet.  
Checking by means of the warning  
lights on the instrument panel  
is described in chapter 2, refer to the  
"Instruments and controls" section.  
Viscosity selection  
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the  
manufacturer’s requirements.  
Levels  
When this occurs with the engine running it  
is due to the start of saturation of the particle  
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged  
urban type driving conditions: low speed,  
long traffic jams, ...).  
Cooling system  
Power steering fluid level  
Only use the fluid recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
The vehicle must be parked on level 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.  
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your  
engine.  
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 light is switched off).  
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.  
Windscreen wash and headlamp  
wash level  
For best quality cleaning and for your safety,  
we would advise that you use products of  
the CITROËN Universal range.  
During regeneration of the particle emission  
filter, relay noise may be heard under the  
fascia.  
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.  
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:  
approximately 4.5 litres.  
If the message is still displayed and if the  
service warning light remains on, contact a  
CITROËN dealer.  
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp  
washers, the capacity of the reservoir is  
7.5 litres.  
If fluid has to be added frequently, this  
indicates a failure which must be checked by  
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.  
To guarantee optimum cleaning and prevent  
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or  
replaced with water.  
Topping up  
It is imperative that this additive is topped up  
by a CITROËN dealer without delay.  
Diesel additive level (Diesel  
with particle emission filter)  
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.  
The minimum level of this additive  
is indicated by lighting of the  
service warning light, accompanied by  
an audible signal and a message on the  
display.
