Manual parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between
two ser vices.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
















Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle ser vices.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
