2013.5 Citroen DS5 brake pads

247Checks
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 ser vices.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.


Brake disc wear


















Electric parking brake

This system does not require any
routine ser vicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.















Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.

For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.
