Levels and checks
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified in the manufacturer's
service schedule. Ask for advice from a
CITROËN dealer.
Refill the engine oil using the procedure
described for topping-up.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Engine oil grade
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
cooling system
When topping-up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. 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.
changing the brake fluid
Check the coolant level regularly,
according to the use made of your
vehicle (every 3 000 miles or 5 000 kms /
3 months) ; if necessary, top-up using
coolant recommended by the manufacturer.
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Use brake fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4 standard.
Topping-up the coolant between services is
normal.
The level must be between the MIn and
MAx marks on the reservoir.
To avoid the risk of scalding, with a cloth
around the cap, slacken the cap by a quarter
turn to release the pressure. When the
pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top-up the level with coolant.
The check and top-up must be done with the
engine cold.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
A low coolant level presents the risk of
serious damage to your engine.
