Engine Oil Level Indicator - CITROEN DS3 Handbook

Engine oil level indicator*

on vehicles fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, information on the oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on, after
the service information.
The level shown will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
Oil level correct
Oil level low
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL",
accompanied by illumination of the service
warning lamp, an audible signal and a
message.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signaled by the flashing of "OIL--".
Contact a CITRoËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric oil level
indicator, the engine oil level is no longer
monitored.
While the system is faulty, you should check
the engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
