Brake pads Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
d r o p i n t h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l i n d i c a t e s
that the brake pads are worn. Brake disc wear status
For any information relating
to checking of the brake
disc wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.

long or if you notice a loss of
effectiveness of this system,
the handbrake must be
adjusted, even between two
