Power steering fluid level

The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.



Topping up the engine oil level



Oil grade

The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section for the location of the oil filler cap in the
engine compartment of your vehicle.


- Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler
aperture.

- Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).

- Wait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.

- Add more oil if necessary.

- After checking the level, carefully refit the
oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.


After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.


Engine oil change

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

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.
















Brake pads

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.
