Checks

C-elysee_en_Chap10_verifications_ed01-2016

Checking levels

Engine oil level

The check of the oil level is carried
out with the dipstick, located under
the bonnet. For the position of the
dipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
view on a previous page.

Checking with dipstick

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

B mark, do not start the engine.

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).

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.

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).

To ensure the accuracy of the reading, your
vehicle must be on a level surface, with the
engine off for at least 30 minutes.

- If the level is above

the

MAX mark (risk of

engine damage), contact
a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

- If the level is below the

MIN

mark, you must

top-up the engine oil.

Refer to the under-bonnet view for the location
of the dipstick on your vehicle.
F

Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

With the end of the dipstick with a clean

and non-fluffy cloth.

Refit the dipstick and push it fully down,

then pull it out again for a visual check of
the oil level: the level must be between the
two marks A and

Checks

C-elysee_en_Chap10_verifications_ed01-2016

The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Brake fluid level

Changing the fluid

Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specification

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Topping-up the engine oil

Oil grade
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Refer to the under-bonnet view for the location
of the oil filler cap on your vehicle.
F Unscrew the filler cap for access to the

filler orifice.

Pour in the oil in small quantities, avoiding

spills onto the engine (risk of fire).

Wait a few minutes before checking the

level again using the dipstick.

Top-up again if necessary.

After checking and topping up, carefully

refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick to its
housing.

Engine oil change

Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.

Checks

C-elysee_en_Chap10_verifications_ed01-2016

Coolant level

The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never
exceed it.

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.

Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be replaced at
routine services.

Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.

The cooling fan may start after switching

off the engine: take care with articles and

clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.

Fluid specification

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.

Screenwash fluid level

Top up the level when necessary.

Topping up

This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

Diesel additive level (Diesel

engine with particle filter)

A low additive level is indicated by illumination
of the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.

Checks

12 V battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release

Particle filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by

the fixed illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which
is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.

Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.

When carrying out any operation on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
starting work.

Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving),

replace them twice as often

if necessary.

A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.

Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Brake disc wear

Parking brake

If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.

Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.

Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
