Checks

CHECKS
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide which correspond
to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products
of equivalent quality and
specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule. Refer to the servicing booklet to
fi nd out the replacement interval
for these components.
Depending on the environment
(dusty atmosphere...) and the use of
the vehicle (urban driving...), change
them twice as often if necessary.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet" section
of chapter 6. Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
fi lter maintenance is carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer. Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and to the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
