CHECKS





















Brake pads

Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of ve-
hicles 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 in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.







Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).






Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).

Brake disc wear

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.


Parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness
of this system is noticed,
the parking brake must be
checked, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer.

sive product for the maintenance of
