Engine Oil Level Indicator - CITROËN C3 PICASSO Handbook

Engine oil level indicator*

On versions fitted with an electric oil level
gauge, information on the engine oil level is
displayed for a few seconds in the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on, after the
service information.
The level shown will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
* Depending on version.
Oil level correct
Oil level low
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL", linked
with the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL--".
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric oil
gauge, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
While the system is faulty, you should
check the engine oil level using the
dipstick located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
