Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never do anything in the compar tments
when the "Ready" lamp is on or when
your vehicle is being charged.
Take care when carrying out checks
in the front and rear compar tments as
some par ts of the compar tments can be
very hot (risk of burns): wait at least one
hour after stopping the motor or the end
of the charging procedure before
carrying out any work.

between the "MIN" and "MA X"

Checks
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicing booklet.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.


Passenger compartment filter

Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for this filter.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace it twice as
often if necessar y
.
A dir ty passenger compar tment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.



















Brake pads

Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as impor tant as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.


Parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
