Battery
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
filter maintenance is carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
The carbon filter permits continuous
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
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 to the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked 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.
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.
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the servicing booklet to
find out the replacement interval
for these components.
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing
booklet which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Depending on the environment
(dusty atmosphere...) and the use of
the vehicle (urban driving...), change
them twice as often if necessary.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet" section
of chapter 6.
Handbrake
Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products
of equivalent quality and
specification.
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.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
