PRACTICAL INFORMATION
78 -
CHECKS   
Oil filter 
 
Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.  
  Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or 
products of equivalent quality 
and specifi cations. 
  To ensure best performance from 
components as important as the 
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, CITROËN selects and offers 
quite specifi c products. 
  To prevent damage to the electrical 
units, avoid washing the engine.  
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
 
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit: 
   
 
-  fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres 
of diesel, 
   
-   squeeze and release the manual 
re-priming pump, under the bonnet 
under the protective cover, until fuel 
appears in the transparent pipe, 
   
-   operate the starter until the engine 
starts.  
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF(PETROL) 
 
In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents 
fuel from reaching the engine. 
 To re-establish the fuel supply, press 
the switch on the corner of the front 
right-hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.
 
   
Air filter and passenger 
compartment filter 
  Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly.  If you drive in dusty conditions, 
change them twice as often.   
 
 
 
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.  
 
 
Disc and drum wear status 
 
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc and drum wear status, 
contact a CITROËN dealer.  
 
 
Manual gearbox 
 
This does not require an oil change. 
Check the level in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
   
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance 
with the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule, refer to the pages of 
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine. 
 
 
 
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.  
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
