your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following condi-
tions:
- driving style,

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and according 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, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical information"
section for details of the precautions
to be taken before disconnecting 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).

Complementary to the catalytic

tive 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 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 an audible
signal and lighting of the service
warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle
