Practical information  
ETG gearbox  
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.  
The ETG gearbox does not require  
any maintenance (no oil change).  
Refer to the manufacturer's service  
schedule for information on when this  
unit should be checked.  
For information on checking brake  
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer  
or a qualified workshop.  
After washing the vehicle, dampness,  
or in wintry conditions, ice can form  
on the brake discs and pads: braking  
efficiency may be reduced. Make light  
brake applications to dry and defrost  
the brakes.  
Brake pads  
Parking brake  
Brake wear depends on the style  
of driving, particularly in the case  
of vehicles used in town, over short  
distances. It may be necessary to  
have the condition of the brakes checked, even  
between vehicle services.  
If excessive travel or a loss of  
effectiveness of this system is  
noticed, the parking brake must be  
checked, even between two services.  
Checking this system must be done by a  
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.  
To avoid damaging the electrical units,  
never use a high pressure jet wash in  
the engine compartment.  
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in  
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake  
pads are worn.
