details of the replacement inter vals
f
or this filter.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace it twice as often if necessar y.y A dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirableodours.
Brake wear depends on the style
o
f driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary tohave the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specifications. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, CITROËN selects and offers very specific products.
