In addition to the catalytic converter, this fi lter contributes actively to the preserving of air quality, by collecting the polluting particles that have not been burnt off. Black exhaust fumes are thus eliminated.
Clogging of the particle fi lter
This alert is caused by the particle fi lter starting to be saturated (in exceptionally prolonged urban driving, for exam-ple: reduced speed, traffi c jams, etc.).
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised to drive, as soon as possible when traffi c conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km / h or more for at least 5 minutes, until the alert message disappe ars. If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN dealer.To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised to drive, as soon as possible when traffi c conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km / h To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised to drive, as soon as possible when traffi c conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km / h
Note: If the vehicle has been running for long periods at very low speeds or at idle, vapour emissions may be seen coming from the exhaust under acceleration. These have no consequ ences for the running of the vehicle or for the environment.
DIESEL additive level
If the additive level is low, it is necessary to top up the additive level.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

Remarks:The proximity sensors cannot detect objects that are immedi-ately under or over the bump-ers.
A thin object such as a spike, a bollard or similar, can only be detected at the start of the manœuvre but not when the vehicle arrives close up to it.In poor weather or in winter, you need to ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud or with ice or snow.
