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.
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 servicing. 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 on the electric parking
brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for details of the level
checking interval for this component.

Moving off
For more information on the
electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.
You can change the operating mode of the
Hybrid4 system at any time using its mode
selector.
Driving in ZEV
mode requires that particular
conditions be met.
When your vehicle vehicle moves off
in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be
very careful of pedestrians, cyclists...
as, because of this, they will not hear
you coming.
Head-up display
The colour of the speedometer varies
according to the drive train used:
- white display: Diesel engine
running,
- blue display: Diesel engine
stopped.
Using automatic mode with the
electronic gearbox optimises gear
changes and so gives more economical
driving.
)
If automatic operation of the electric
parking brake has been deactivated, pull
then release the control lever to release the
parking brake manually.
)
Progressively release the brake pedal.
)
With the parking brake released, the
vehicle then moves off.
If the parking brake is still applied and is in
automatic mode, accelerate progressively.
)
Move the gear selector to
position A
(automatic mode) or M
(manual
mode) or R
(reverse).
