CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the servicing booklet and in
relation to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not
require any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, parti-
cularly 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 -
mation" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before dis-
connecting the battery and following
its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing
booklet for details of the
replacement intervals for
these components.
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).
A clogged passenger compartment

tioning system and generate unde-
sirable odours.

changed. Particulate filter system

Complementary to the catalytic con-
v e r t e r , t h i s fi l t e r m a k e s a n a c t i v e
contribution to the preservation of air
quality by the retaining of the unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust
fumes are thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low speeds, you may occasionally
notice water vapour being emitted
from the exhaust when accelerat-
ing. 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.
This alert tells you that the particle

If this alert persists, consult a
CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the replacement interval
for this component.

Fuses on the battery
After any operation, carefully re-
close the cover. If the cover is not
correctly positioned or not proper-
ly closed, this could cause serious
problems on your vehicle. For the
same reason, take care not to spill
any liquid in the fusebox.

QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipme nt operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
