braking system, CITROËN selects
and offers specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the elec-
trical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.

tain components, in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing sched-
ule, refer to the pages of the Main-
tenance and Warranty Guide which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the priming pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protec-
tive cover which must fi rst be un-
clipped and then removed,
- operate the starter until the en- gine starts.

Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximate-
ly 15 seconds, operate the
priming pump again approxi-
mately fi fteen times before trying
again.
If the emission control warning lamp
has come on, it will only switch off af-
ter your vehicle has been used sev-
eral times.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the park-
ing brake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
