pullitoutagaintomakethevisualcheck:
thecorrectlevelisbetweenthemarksA
and B.
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.
If you find that the level is above the Amarkor
below the Bmark,do not start the engine.
- If the level is above the MAXmark(risk
ofdamagetotheengine),contacta
CITROËNdealeroraqualifiedworkshop.
- If the level is below the MINmark,you
musttopuptheengineoil.
A = MAX
B = MIN
Toensurethatthereadingiscorrect,
yourvehiclemustbeparkedonalevel
surfacewiththeenginehavingbeenoff
formorethan30minutes.
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kms).
