ChecksUnless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for this filter.
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.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important 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.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the
brake disc or drum wear, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
