Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
maintenance of the particle emission
fi lter must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of
the pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit,
a drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the parking
brake should be adjusted, even between
services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule. Refer to the servicing booklet for
the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.
