Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close 
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check 
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering or power 
steering and suspension 
fluid level
For topping up, it is necessary to go 
to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close 
to the "MA X" mark but should never 
exceed it.
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. The cooling fan may star t after switching 
off the engine: take care with ar ticles 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. When the engine is warm, the temperature of 
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
