1975 CITROEN 2CV tire pressure

IMPORTANT POINTS
During the first 1,200 mi (2,000 km): Keep a little below the speed li\
mits indicated
by the red marks on the speedometer.
At 600 mi (1,000 km): by any Citroën Dealer.
Before setting out on a long journey, check: The engine oil level; the l\
evel of the
brake fluid and top up if necessary.
Every 3,000 mi (5,000 km): Engine sump - drain and refill
Every 12,000 mi (20,000 km): Gearbox - change the oil
On "2 CV6", pay attention to the red warning lamp, (engine oil pressure\
). If it lights
up while driving, stop immediately.
Always keep in your vehicle: complete set of spare bulbs; set of fuses (\
10 & 15
amps).
Check inflation pressures regularly.
Changing a wheel: Tools and spare
wheel in boot (trunk).
From the very beginning make
yourself acquainted with the
handling operations specified in the
Tyre (tire) changing section.Model

In order to ensure a longer life for your vehicle, and, for your safety,\
"Citroën" advises you to adhere to these most important points, systematically.

pebble road surfaces, 23 psi (1,6 bar) in front; in sandy area, 15 psi
(1 bar) at front and rear.
Do not forget to correct the pressure of the spare wheel as soon as
possible after fitting.
Tyre pressures must be checked at least once a month and before
any long journeys since safety depends on correct pressures; these
also have appreciable influence on the life of the tyres. The check
should be carried out when the tyres are cold, before they have been
heated by running: the pressure may in fact be increased by up to 7
psi (0,5 bar) on a loaded vehicle running at high speed.
Keep a check on wheel balancing, especially after a puncture.
Changing the wheels around, which evens out the wear on the five
tyres, should be frequent enough to prevent any appreciable
difference of wear between the two tyres on one axle.
Follow the plan opposite which shows the use of the spare wheel.
Then rest the pressures.Changing a wheel is described here.Fig. 33

Tire Wear Indicators
These are located at regular intervals across the tread and show up
according to localised wear of the engraving when the rubber
reaches a certain degree of wear (see Fig. 34). The tyre concerned
should then be replaced as soon as possible.
Snow Tyres
125-15 X (M+S) and 135-15 X (M+S) tyres can be fitted with
studs. In which case, it is necessary to increase the pressures by 3
psi (0,2 bar). In some countries there are legal requirements on the
use of studded tyres; local Citroën dealers will supply you with
information on this point.
Battery Maintenance
Check the terminals and the leads for cleanliness. If they are
