CHECKS
192






Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the level checking interval for
this component.
















Electric parking brake

This system does not require
any routine servicing. However,
in the event of a problem,
have the system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.





















Manual parking brake

















Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products of equiva-
lent quality and specifi cation.

In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
those in the braking system,
CITROËN selects and offers
very specifi c products.
After washing the vehicle, damp-
ness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can form on the brake discs and
pads: braking effi ciency may be
reduced. Make light brake ap-
plications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be
done by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
















Brake pads

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 services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.


Brake disc wear

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.








Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the details
of the level checking interval
for this component.







Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
checking interval for this compo-
nent.
