The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.

manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Never allow the level to

When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this
fan can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the CITROËN dealer
network or at a qualified workshop
(France) or at an authorised waste
disposal site.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a

has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

the servicing booklet.
