Practical information

Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories


You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,

- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).
)Turn the selector A
to the "A ir "position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit first.

)
Connect the compressor's electricalconnector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. )
Star t the vehicle and let the engine run.)
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch Bin position "I"; todeflate: switch Bin position "O"
and pressbutton C ), according to the vehicle's tyre
pressure label or the accessory's pressure label.) Remove the kit then stow it.


Should the pressure of one or moretyres be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise the tyre pressures (see the "Under-inflation detection" section).

Checks






Checking levels


Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremelyhot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could star t at any time (even with the ignition off).
Oil level

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using theoil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guidefor details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Oil specifi cation

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.
Check all of these levels re
gularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick

There are two marks on the dipstick:
A= maximum
If you fill past this mark, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. B= minimum
Top up the level through the
oil filler orifice, using thecorrect grade of oil for your engine. The level must never be below this mark.
It will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËNrecommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
durin
g the 30 minutes after topping up.

Checks
Brake wear depends on the styleof 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 services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.















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


Brake disc wear















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 lightbrake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.

Electric parking brake


For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section. This s
ystem does not require any routine servicing. However, in theevent of a problem, have the systemchecked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the details of
the level checking inter val for thiscomponent.
6-speed electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the levelchecking interval for this component.
To avoid damaging the electrical units, the use of a high pressure washer in the engine compar tment is strictlyprohibited.
