dance with the servicing schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and characteristics.
In order to optimise the op-
eration of units as important as the
braking circuit, CITROËN selects
a n d o f f e r s s p e c i fi c p r o d u c t s .
In order to avoid damaging the elec-
trical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing
booklet which correspond to your
vehicle’s engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the pump at least 10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must be
reprimed:
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protective
c o v e r w h i c h m u s t fi r s t b e u n c l i p p e d
and then removed,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximately
15 seconds of attempts, op-
erate the repriming pump
a g a i n a p p r o x i m a t e l y fi f t e e n t i m e s b e -
fore trying again.
If the emission control warning light has
come on, it will only switch off after your
vehicle has been used several times.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
