the water has flowed out. Then tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
Battery
at the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
The involvement of a CITR
o
Ë
n
dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the

In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the

After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
