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
Clogging is caused by the particle fi lter starting to be saturated (owing to exceptionally long periods spent driving in urban conditions : low speeds, traffi c jams, etc.).
In order to regenerate the fi lter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when traffi c condition s allow, at a speed of 60 km/h or more for at least 5 minutes. If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer.In order to regenerate the fi lter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when traffi c condition s allow, at a speed In order to regenerate the fi lter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when traffi c condition s allow, at a speed
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.
The simultaneous lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp and the display of the message “Risk of saturation of par-ticle fi lter (FAP)” on the instrument panel screen indicates an increased risk of saturation.
