Coolant Level - CITROËN C4 PICASSO Handbook

Practical information

Coolant level

The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never
exceed it.
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.
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.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reservoir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reservoir is refilled.
Next time you stop, refill the screenwash /
headlamp wash reservoir.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
Topping-up
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Used products
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.
