Practical information
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specication.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and o󰀨ers
very specic products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened (versions without quick-release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
tted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specic technology and specication.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualied workshop.
Passenger compartment
lter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment lter
can adversely a󰀨ect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air lter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary.
Oil lter
Change the oil lter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake uid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in
wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking e󰀩ciency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualied workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine
servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualied
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The ination pressure of all tyres,
including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-ination increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
