Checks  
Checking levels  
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.  
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Brake fluid level  
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).  
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).  
The brake fluid level should be close  
to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check  
the brake pad wear.  
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.  
Changing the uid  
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide  
for details of the interval for this operation.  
Engine oil change  
Oil level  
The check is carried out either when  
the ignition is switched on using the  
oil level indicator in the instrument  
panel, or using the dipstick.  
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide  
for details of the interval for this operation.  
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine  
and emission control system, the use of  
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.  
Fluid specication  
The brake fluid must conform to the  
manufacturer's recommendations.  
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level  
ground and the engine has been off for more  
than 30 minutes.  
Oil specication  
The oil must be the correct grade for your  
engine and conform to the manufacturer's  
recommendations.  
 
Power steering fluid level  
Screenwash / headlamp  
wash fluid level  
The power steering fluid level should  
be close to the "MAX" mark. With  
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to  
check the level.  
To check the level or top up the  
fluid on vehicle fitted with headlamp  
washers, immobilise the vehicle and  
switch of the engine.  
Fluid specication  
The coolant must conform to the  
manufacturer's recommendations.  
Coolant level  
The coolant level should be close  
to the "MAX" mark but should never  
exceed it.  
The cooling fan may start after  
switching off the engine: take care  
with articles and clothing that might  
become caught by the fan blades.  
When the engine is warm, the  
temperature of the coolant is regulated by the  
fan.  
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.
