Handbrake
To apply: pull towards the rear.
To disengage: pull again, pressing the button meanwhile, then push towards the front.
A yellow warning lamp flashes in the central warning cluster when the brake is on, or is not sufficiently released.

Monitoring the main brakes
Two warning lamps in the central warning cluster check the main brake.
- the yellow warning lamp for the front brake pads lighis up when applying the brakes when brake pad wear necessitates renewal.
- The red warning lamp for hydraulic fluid pressure is a signal requiring immediate stopping of the car and calling a Citroën Dealer.
After changing the brake pads, the linings must be run in; immediate intensive use could lead to irregularities in braking.

Switch for fog lamps (option )

To operate: press on ihe switch.
To extinguish: press again on the switch and release.
Fog lamps are automatically extinguished when "Dipped" lighting is in use.

Using the forced air system
- Start up the fan, at the desired speed.

To obtain ambient air only:
- place the temperature adjusting knob in the midway position,
- open, adjust and direct the central grilles and the side ventilators.

On vehicles without air conditioner it is possible to obtain also ambient air to the windscreen and to the floor by moving the temperature adjustment knob to the right.

Distribute this air between windscreen and floor.

To obtain hot air
- move the temperature adjustment knob towards the left, more or less according to the air temperature desired
- distribute the hot air between windscreen and floor.

It is possible to obtain at the same time ambient air for the central grilles and the side ventilators.

This is situated behind the gear lever and is illuminated when the exterior lighting is in action.
To open the cover, pull the knob backwards.
To use the cigar-lighter, push it in and wait until it returns to its original position before taking it out.
To free the ashtray, simply lift it upwards.

Rear ashtrays

The level should be checked from time to time between changes, and also before long runs. It should be checked with the engine cold and the car horizontal.
The engine oil dipstick (see fig. 25 and n° 3 on opposite page) carries two marks between which the level should indicate.
Oil capacity between maximum and minimum levels is 1 litre (1 3/4 pts. Imp.).
To fill up, fill until the upper line is reached but not passed. When the engine is hot, the maximum level is 8 mm (9.3 in) below the upper mark. In summer, as in winter, use TOTAL OIL "GTS 20 W 50" or, in very cold countries (North of U.S.A., Sweden), TOTAL OIL "GTS 10 W 30". If these are not available, use corresponding oils of other reputable makes. Never use additives.

These are indicated in the "Maintenance Guide". We would recommend you to adhere to the frequencies indicated and to remind you that
we recommend TOTAL lubricants.

All mixtures and experiments are forbidden, and in particular the use of oiI additives, of any kind, as these may iead to serious trouble.

The car may be equipped with snow tyres 185-1 5XM+S. It is necessary, in this case, not be exceed:
165 km/h (100 mph) when the tyre is not studded.
150 km/h (95 mph) when the tyre is studded.

The pressures are the same as those for the 195/70 VR-15 X.

Never clean the bodywork dry, for fear of scratching the paintwork.

Petrol, paraffin, trichlorethylene and alcohol are damaging to the paintwork as well as to the plastic parts, such as lamp covers. Never use strong detergents.

Wash well with soapy water or water with a light detergent, Teepol type, preceeding and following this with abundant clear water rinsing.

The wheel hub caps, in particular, should be washed very often because the mud may, after a time, damage the surface and necessitate repolishing.

We recommend, in order to maintain the brillance of the metal, the application after drying with chamois leather, of a protection product such as "ABEL polish chrome", or other proprietary chrome-polish.

Upholstery in fabric.
These may be brushed or, preferably, suction cleaned.
If there is much general dirt, use commercial "dry foam" after carefully removing all traces of dust.

Upholstery in leather (optional)
This should be cleaned with a cloth or sponge, dipped in tepid soapy water, well squeezed, and then rubbed with a soft cloth until it shines. Do not use cream which may stain.

Upholstery in leathercloth
Clean with a product of the "SPIC" type or with a little soapy water, well rinsed and then rubbed with a dry cloth.
We do not advise products sold to make these parts shine.

Isolated marks on the upholstery

Marks on the fabric, leather or leathercloth may be cleaned with soapy water or water with a little TEEPOL detergent.
If these do not remove them, use alcohol (commercial methylated spirit) or lead-free petrol.
Use squeezed out pads and rub the marks lightly.
Solvents such as acetone, trichlorethylene, etc. are not recommended.
There are complex cleaners containing absorbent materials and which, used with care, have the advantage of not leaving rings (example "K2R").

Seat belts

Clean with soapy water, do not wet the metal components. For heavy stains use methylated spirit. Never dye the webbing, which could be weakened.

Instrument glasses

Use either soapy water or a commercial diluent, but nothing else.
