Practical information
For more information on
Checking
the levels
and in particular on the
diesel additive level, refer to the
corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first operations
of regeneration of the particle filter
may be accompanied by the smell of
"burning", which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any

Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for

Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
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 fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
