Driver Assistance Power Steering: Standard, hydraulically assisted rack-and-pinion. Suspension System: Hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension (Citroën's signature feature) controlling ride height and damping. Connectivity Connectivity Features: None (pre-digital era). 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Refer to manual, typically 5,000-7,500 km (3,000-5,000 miles) depending on usage. Lubrication Interval: Refer to manual, chassis lubrication points require regular attention. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Viscosity: SAE 20W-50 or SAE 10W-30 (check manual for ambient temperature suitability) Hydropneumatic Fluid: LHM (Citroën Hydraulic Fluid) - Specific type and procedure detailed in manual. DO NOT substitute. Brake Fluid: DOT 3 or DOT 4 (check manual for specific requirements). Known Issues Common Wear Items: Hydropneumatic spheres, suspension accumulators, seals, and lines can degrade over time. Ignition system components, carburetor tuning, and cooling system maintenance are crucial. Specific Ds Quirks: Proper bleeding and recharging of the hydropneumatic system is vital for ride height and suspension function. The unique power steering system requires specific attention. 📚 Vehicle History Brand Heritage Manufacturer Origin: France Model Evolution Introduction Year: 1955 Design Philosophy: Revolutionary design by Flaminio Bertoni, focused on aerodynamics, comfort, and advanced technology (hydropneumatic suspension). Production Production Period: 1955-1975 Key Innovations: Hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension, power steering, semi-automatic transmission (later models), single-spoke steering wheel, aerodynamic body.
