Battery
Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion 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 servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose at
CITROËN dealers (France) or a
qualifi ed workshop, or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site. Do not discard the oil fi lter through
public channels, deposit it in the
containers dedicated to this use
in the CITROËN network (France) or a
qualifi ed workshop or take them to an
authorised waste disposal site. 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 or a qualifi ed workshop.

Charging the battery using abattery charger
)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.
)
Remove the battery and place it in a
ventilated area.
)
Remove the top-up caps and top up
the level with distilled water if nec-
essary.
)

)
Check that the terminals and connec-
tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),
remove them and clean them.
)
Reconnect the battery starting with
the positive terminal (+).
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health and very corrosive. Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running. The batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid
and lead. They must be disposed
of in accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be dis-
carded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special col-
lection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is to be left unused
for more than one month. When charging the battery, it is normal
to observe an increase in temperature
and bubbling of the electrolyte.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation
of the electronic systems. However, if
slight diffi culties are encountered follow-
ing this operation, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:
- the one-touch electric windows,
- the sunroof,
- the satellite navigation system.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ig-
nition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting the battery.
