Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and in relation to your en-
gine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, partic-
ularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
t e r y , r e f e r t o t h e " P r a c t i c a l i n f o r -

precautions to be taken before dis-
connecting the battery and following
its reconnection. Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Refer to the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
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 (refer to
the "Engines" paragraph).

After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally no-
tice water vapour being emitted from
the exhaust when accelerating. This is
of no consequence to the running of
the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen, accompanied by a sound
signal and lighting of the service
warning lamp.
