5. Fusebox.

Engine compartment

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).

6. Air filter.

This engine is shown as an example.

The positions of the following elements may

change:

7. Engine oil dipstick.

8. Engine oil filler cap.

Depending on engine.

Used products

The Diesel fuel system operates under

very high pressure.

All work on this circuit must be carried out

only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or

fluids with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful to health

or indeed very corrosive.

Petrol

Diesel

Do not discard used oil or fluids into

sewers or onto the ground.

Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop and dispose of

it in the containers reserved for this

purpose.

Checking levels

Check all of these levels regularly, in line with

the manufacturer's service schedule. 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.

Engine oil level

The liquid must comply with the

manufacturer's recommendations and with

the vehicle's engine.

The check is carried out either when

the ignition is switched in using the

oil level indicator in the instrument

panel for vehicles equipped with an

electric gauge, or using the dipstick.

reservoir.

2. Engine coolant reservoir.

3. Brake fluid reservoir.

Practical information

Topping up the engine oil level

To ensure that the reading is correct, your

vehicle must be parked on a level surface

with the engine stopped for more than

30 minutes.

The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the

corresponding underbonnet layout view.

F Unscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler

opening.

F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any

spills on engine components (risk of fire).

F Wait a few minutes before checking the

level again using the dipstick.

A = MAX

B = MIN

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 km).

F Add more oil if necessary.

F After checking the level, carefully refit the oil

filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.

Checking using the dipstick

If you find that the level is above the A mark or

below the B mark, do not start the engine.

The location of the dipstick is shown in the

corresponding underbonnet layout view.

F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of

damage to the engine), contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean

non-fluffy cloth.

F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then

pull it out again to make the visual check:

the correct level is between marks A and B.

If the level is below the MIN mark, you must

top up the engine oil.

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.

Oil grade

Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,

check that the oil is the correct grade for your

engine and conforms to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Engine oil change

In order to maintain the reliability of the engine

and emissions control system, never use

additives in the engine oil.

Practical information

To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to

top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around

the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to

allow the pressure to drop.

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the

cap and top up to the required level.

Brake fluid level

Diesel fuel additive level

(Diesel with particle filter)

The fluid level should be close to the

"MAX" mark. If it is not, check the

brake pad wear.

The additive reservoir low level is

indicated by fixed illumination of this

warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal and a message that

the particle filter additive level is

too low.

Fluid speciﬁcation

The cooling fan may start after

switching off the engine: take care

with articles and clothing that might be

caught by the fan blades.

The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Topping up

This additive must be topped up without delay

by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Fluid speciﬁcation

This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Coolant level

Check the coolant level regularly.

It is normal to top up the fluid

between two services.

Level of AdBlue

An alert is triggered once the reserve level is

reached.

To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per

regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.

Screenwash/headlamp

wash level low

The check and top-up must only be done with

the engine cold.

A low coolant level presents a risk of serious

damage to your engine.

The coolant level should be close to the "MAX"

mark but should never exceed it.

If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,

it is essential to top up.

In the case of vehicles fitted with

headlamp washers, when the fluid

reservoir low level is reached this

warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel, accompanied by

an audible signal and a message.

For more information on AdBlue and the SCR

system, and, in particular, topping up the tank,

refer to the corresponding section.

The warning lamp comes on when the ignition

is switched on, or every time the stalk is

operated, until the reservoir is refilled.

The next time you stop, have the screenwash/

headlamp wash reservoir topped up.

When the engine is hot, 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.
