CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
C h a n g i n g t h e b r a k e fl u i d
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
d r o p i n t h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l i n d i c a t e s
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

If the parking brake travel is
too long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
q u a l i t y a n d s p e c i fi c a t i o n s . In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the brak-
ing system, CITROËN selects and

To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited .

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG)
* The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).
** The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
*** The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing cap acities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the pe rformance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; reduce
the towed weight by 450 kg when your altitude increases by 1 000 m.
