Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he snow chains must be fitted only
t
o the front wheels. They must never
b
e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
w
heels.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a j
ourney, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
o
n the side of the road.
F
A

w
heel chocks to prevent movement of your
v
ehicle.

Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case o
f vehicles used in town, over short
d
istances. It may be necessary to have
t
he condition of the brakes checked,
e
ven between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
o
r a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent
q
uality
an
d
sp
ecification.
In
order to optimise the operation of
u
nits as important as those in the
b
raking system, CITROËN selects and
o
ffers very specific products.
After
washing the vehicle, dampness,
o
r in wintry conditions, ice can form
o
n the brake discs and pads: braking
e
fficiency may be reduced. Make light
b
rake applications to dry and defrost
t
he brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the "E lectric
parking brake - Operating faults "
section.
This
system does not require any
r
outine servicing. However, in the
e
vent of a problem, have the system
c
hecked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance (no oil change).
Refer
to the manufacturer's service
s
chedule for the checking interval for
t
his
c
omponent.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer
to the manufacturer's service
s
chedule for details of the level
c
hecking interval for this component.
To
avoid damaging the electrical units,
n
ever use a high pressure jet wash in
t
he engine compartment.
Unless
there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
t
he brake fluid level indicates that the brake
p
ads are worn.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level,
s
table and not slippery.
Apply
the parking brake unless it has
b
een programmed to automatic mode,
s
witch off the ignition and engage first
g
ear* to block the wheels.
Check
that the braking warning lamp
a
nd the P warning lamp in the parking
b
rake control lever come on.
For
greater safety, place the chock 2
against
the wheel opposite to the one
b
eing
c
hanged.
The
occupants must get out of the
v
ehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never
go underneath a vehicle
s
upported by a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations

not use:
-
t
he jack for any purpose other than
l
ifting the vehicle,
-
a
ny other jack than the one
s
upplied by the manufacturer.F
P
lace the foot of the jack 3 on the ground
a
nd check that it is directly below the
f
ront A or rear B jacking point provided on
t
he underbody, whichever is closest to the w
heel to be changed.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
g
round is slippery or loose, the jack
m
ay slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Ensure
that the jack is positioned only
a
t one of the jacking points A or B
under
the vehicle, making sure that the
v
ehicle's contact sur face is centred on
t
he head of the jack. Other wise there is
a
risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of
