MAINTENANCE
Necessity of maintenance
Your CITROËN vehicle has been manufactured using the latest technology
and under the strictest quality control standards. It is also designed t\
o
minimize maintenance requirements with longer service intervals to save \
you both time and money.
However, scheduled maintenance is necessary to ensure your CITROËN
vehicle operates properly and efficiently for the reasons listed below:
Lubricants:
Your CITROËN vehicle uses various kinds of oils and fluids, including
engine oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, battery fluid, and engine
coolant. These oils and fluids play very important roles, such as lubricating
and cooling the vehicle and preventing rust. Periodically they need to b\
e
properly refilled or replaced.
Rubber parts:
Hoses, belts and boots use rubber parts, which are bound to crack when
worn out. They need to be replaced with new ones if they should wear out.
Normal deterioration
Vehicles are equipped with many parts for which it is impossible to avoid\

normal wear and tear. These parts include: tires, brake pads, clutch
disc, etc. They are indispensable for basic vehicle functions and must be
replaced regularly.
