CHECKS
Levels and checks
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the maintenance and warranty
guide which correspond to your vehicle's
engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes.

Failed bulb or lamp
When using a high pressure washer
on stubborn dirt, do not persist on
the headlamps, the lamps and their edges
to avoid damaging their lacquer finish and
seals.
