Checks
Refer to the servicing booklet to find
out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
An access flap below the glove box
permits replacement of the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous
and effective filtering of dust.
Brake disc/drum wear status
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
If the passenger compartment filter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, consult a CITROËN dealer.
It is imperative that particle emission
filter maintenance is carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By
means of its second special active
filter, it contributes to the purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
