Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the
bonnet, close to the brake fluid reser voir. If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be purged to remove
water.
You can also purge the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil
is changed.
Purging water from the filterThe HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work must be done by personnel that
have had special training, which can be
ensured by going to 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
components 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.
