Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances.
i t may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a C i T roën 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 C

i
n order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
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.
o
nly use products recommended by
C i T roën or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
i
n order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, C i T roën
selects and of
fers specific products.
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
