Checks
CHECKS
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. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
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. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter

replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as often
if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle
emission filter maintenance is
carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle
has been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may, in
exceptional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the exhaust.
This water vapour does not have any
adverse effect on vehicle handling or the
environment.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet" section
of chapter 6.

CHANGING A FUSE
The three fuse boxes are placed:
- in the fascia panel on the right-hand side (behind the storage compartment,
retractable),
- in the passenger compartment (battery compartment),
- under the bonnet.
If fitted on your vehicle, a further fuse
box is added for towing, the towbar and
the connections for the coachbuilder and
platform cab conversions. It is located on the
right behind the load retaining partition.
Removing and fitting a fuse
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
fault must be found and rectified.
- Use the pliers.
Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle or
for rectifying the malfunctions resulting from
the installation of accessories not supplied
and not recommended by CITROËN and
not installed in accordance with its
instructions, in particular when the combined
consumption of all of the additional
equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes.
The descriptions communicated are only
the fuses which can be changed by the
user using the pliers and replacement fuses
located behind the fascia panel storage
compartment on the right-hand side. For any
other operations, visit a CITROËN dealer.
Intended for professionals: for
complete fuse and relay information,
consult the "Methods" diagram via the
Network.
