authorised waste disposal site.
av
oid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MaX " mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Screenwash fluid level
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.

Checks

142
according to your version of instrument panel, the start of
saturation of the particle emissions filter is indicated by:
- fixed illumination of the particle emissions filter warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
or
-

t
emporary illumination of
the
service warning lamp,
as s

oon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40

mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"
ad

ditive level" section.
Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery. When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the maintenance and warranty guide and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration of the particle emissions
filter may be accompanied by the smell
of "burning", which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message that there is a risk of blockage of the
particle emissions filter.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city
driving), replace them twice as often if necessar y .
a c

logged passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement interval for this
component.

Checks

143
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the checking
interval for this component.
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.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
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 component.
Brake pads
Brake disc wear
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.
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
on
ly 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, CITR
oËn

selects and
offers very 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 a
CITROËN 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 light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
