Checking levels

Check all of these levels regularly and 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.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
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.
It is normal to top up the engine
oil between services. CITROËN

level and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
