included in every routine service on your

workshop.
Nevertheless,giventhecapacityofthetank,it
may be necessary to top-up the fluid between
services,moreparticularlyifanalert(warning
lampsandamessage)signalstherequirement.
YoucangotoaCITROËNdealeroraqualified
workshop.
Ifyouenvisagetopping-upyourself,please
