Radiator
In normal usage, the coolant temperature reaches or
exceeds 100°C. Never remove the cap of a radiator
that is hot: there is danger from projection of scalding
liquid and steam. See « Levels ».
The antifreeze contained in the coolant lends it the fol-
lowing properties :
• Protection against low temperatures (initial protec-
tion: -35°C).
• Anti-corrosion protection.
• Resistance to high operating temperatures
See the Maintenance Guide.
Oil
In normal use, the engine oil can exceed temperatures
of 130°C and thus can cause serious burns.
Exhaust system
Beware of the very high temperatures attained by the
various components of the exhaust system (risk of
burns).
AT ALL TIMES :
• Avoid attempting repairs while close to moving traffic. If this is absolutely necessary, take all possible
precautions.
• Ensure that your passengers seek safety away from the vehicle and off the roadway (road verges and
motorway hard shoulders are not safe places.
• Keep children away from the vehicle and in safety.
• Operate the hazard lamps and erect warning signs.
• Preferably summon assistance from a CITROËN-approved breakdown service.
• For guaranteed quality and safety, useCITROËN products.
