Good practice
You can also bleed the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil

Check for the absence of leaks.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
HDi engines uses advanced
technology. All work must be done by
personnel that have had special training,
which can be ensured by going to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
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, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes.
