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.
Take care when working
under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of
used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or
fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a dealer or a qualified
workshop.

The level is checked, with the
engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes)...
