- The engine oil level, which must bo
between the two ends of the cut-out on the dipstick must be
checked from time to time between oil changes and, in
particular, before any long journey.
- The check should be carried out with
the car horizontal and the engine should have been stopped for
at least 10 minutes.
- To top up, fill without the level
being higher than the top end of the dipstick cut-out. The
lenght of the cut-out corresponds to 0.5 litres approx. (0.87
Imp. pints. See Fig. 37).

The following oils are
recommended by Citroën:
| Great-Britain: |
TOTAL GOLD (All the
year round). |
| France: |
TOTAL GTS Plus 10W40 or
GTI Plus 10W30.
In very cold climates: GTI Plus 10W30. |
If "TOTAL"
oils are not available, use equivalent grades of other reputable
makes.
Never use additives.
After topping up, do not forget to seal the filler cap tightly. |

Brake
fluid reservoir |
(symmetrical on
R.H.D.) |
It is located under the
spare wheel.
The level, visible through the transparent reservoir, must never go
below the "Min." mark.
The interval between "Min." and "Max."
represents 0.13 litre (0.22 Imp. pint).
To top up, use exclusively green "LHM" fluid. All other
fluids, particularly those of vegetable or sythetic origin, which
would rapidly destroy the hydraulic system, are not to be
used. We recommend you "LHM" fluid distributed by TOTAL.
In an emergency or if it is not possible to obtain green "LHM"
fluid, see page 35. |

Check the level of the
electrolyte frequently especially in summer.
The level should be 1 to 2 cm (3/8 to 3/4 in.) above the plates in
each of the six cells.
Top up with destilled water. Never add acid.
Never use a naked light during a check. |
