particularlyinsummerandwinter.

Refertothemanufacturer's

service schedule for details of the

Oil filter

The presence of this label, in particular

with the Stop & Start system, indicates

the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid

batterywithspecialtechnologyand

specification.

The involvement of a CITROËN dealer

oraqualifiedworkshopisessentialwhen

replacingordisconnectingthebattery.

Unlessotherwiseindicated,checkthesecomponentsinaccordancewiththemanufacturer'sservicescheduleandaccordingtoyourengine.

Otherwise,havethemcheckedbyaCITROËNdealeroraqualifiedworkshop.

Dependingontheenvironment(e.g.dusty

atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle

(e.g.citydriving),replace them twice as often

if necessary.

Acloggedpassengercompartmentfiltermay

have an adverse effect on the performance

oftheairconditioningsystemandgenerate

undesirableodours.

Particle filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the particle

filterisindicatedbythefixed

illuminationofthiswarninglamp

accompaniedbyawarningmessage.

As soon as the traffic conditions permit,

regeneratethefilterbydrivingata

speedofatleast40mph(60km/h)until

thewarninglampgoesoff.

Ifthewarninglampstayson,this

indicatesalowadditivelevel.

For more information on Checking

levels and the Diesel additive level in

particular,refertothecorresponding

section.

On a new vehicle, the first particle

filterregenerationoperationsmaybe

accompaniedbya"burning"smell,

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.

Whencarryingoutworkonthebattery,refer

to the "12 V battery" section for details of the

precautionstobetakenbeforedisconnecting
