DS 3: Practical information / Checking levels
DS 3 2016-2026 Owners Manual
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply
with the
manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.

may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
