add more than 1 litre, you should  
have the cooling system checked

correctly

frequently would indicate a mal-  
function that should be checked at  
the earliest opportunity.

washer fluid  
For best results as well as for  
your safety, use only CITROËN  
approved products which protect  
at temperatures as low as -25°C  
to -30°C.  
It is essential to have sufficient  
screen wash fluid if your vehicle is  
equipped with Xenon headlamps.  
Brake fluid  
The synthetic fluid not only gives protection against corrosion but also  
ensures correct functioning of the braking system in all environmental con-  
ditions, therefore you should only use the synthetic product recommended  
by the CITROËN network. (this fluid must be replaced every two years).  
These important requirements are detailed in your vehicle’s maintenance  
Guide.  
Quality: See “maintenance Guide”.
