Practical information

276
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.
