CHECKS





















Brake pads

Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of ve-
hicles 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 in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.







Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).






Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).

Brake disc wear

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.


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.
Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
Do not use a dry cloth with an abra-
sive product for the maintenance of
aluminium parts; use a sponge and
soapy water.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited
. Refer to the servicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval
for this component.
Refer to the servicing booklet for de-
tails of the level checking interval for
