Brake pads
Brake disc wea
r
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.
For in
formation on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a quali
fied workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, CITROËN selects and offersvery specific products.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Checking this system must be done by aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,or in wintry conditions, ice, can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make lightbrake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
