Checks










Coolant level


The coolant level should be between
the two marks. In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.










Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.








The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.

When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.

8
Checks
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.








Used products


Topping up

The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.











Additive level
(1.6 HDi 110 Diesel versions
with particle emissions filter)
The additive reser voir low level is indicated by
the display of this message.

Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning, this fluid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.



















Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid

To check or top up the fluid, stop the
vehicle, apply the parking brake and
switch off the engine.


)
Open the bonnet and secure it with the
stay.

)
Open the filler cap for the screenwash
reservoir.

)
Check the level using the gauge, then
top-up if necessary.

)
Refit the cap on the reser voir and close the
bonnet.
In wintry conditions, the use of fluid with
an ethyl alcohol or methanol base is
recommended.

224
Checks
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 ser vices.















Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.


Brake disc wear




















Parking brake


If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two ser vices.















Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
