RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If the engine stops, it is possible to
restart it to drive a short distance
by operating the pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit
must be reprimed:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five
litres of diesel,
- operate the manual repriming
pump at least 10 times. This
is located under the protective
cover which must first be
unclipped and then removed,
- operate the starter until the
engine starts.
Notes: if the engine does not start
after approximately 15 seconds of
attempts, operate the repriming
pump again approximately fifteen
times before trying again.
If the emission control warning li-
ght has come on, it will only switch
off after several uses of your ve-
hicle.
Manual dipstick
Brake fluid level
It is imperative to replace the brake
fluid at the prescribed intervals, in
conformity with the manufacturer’s
maintenance programme.
Use the fluids recommended by
the manufacturer.
Coolant level
When the engine is hot, the
temperature of the coolant is
regulated by the cooling fan. This
can operate even with the ignition
switched off ; also the cooling
system is pressurised, so it is
essential to wait at least an hour
after stopping the engine before
intervening under the bonnet.
To avoid all risk of burns, unscrew
the cap a quarter turn to allow
pressure to fall. When the pressure
has subsided, remove the cap and
top up the level.
CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Make this check on a regular basis
and top up between oil changes.
The vehicle should be on
horizontal ground, engine cold.
Use the dipstick.
There are 2 marks
on the gauge :
A = Max.
B = Min.
If you go above the
mark A, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
It is essential for the
oil level to remain
between A and B.
In order to maintain the reliability
of the engine and its depollution
features, use of engine oil additives
is prohibited.
Consult the Maintenance Guide.
Use only the coolant fluid
that is recommended for
your vehicle.
Otherwise you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
