Checks

According to your version of instrument panel, the start of
saturation of the par ticle emissions filter is indicated by: - fixed illumination of the par ticle emissions filter warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal, or
- temporary illumination of
the ser vice warning lamp,

As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additivelevel" section.







Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require anymaintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened,particularly in summer and winter.
The presence o
f this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid batter
y with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting thebattery. When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of theprecautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the MAINTENANCE AND WARR ANT Y GUIDE and accordin
g to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
On a new vehicle, the first operations of regeneration of the par ticle emissionsfilter may be accompanied by the smell of "burning", w hic h is per fec t ly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Par ticle emission filter (Diesel)
accompanied by an audible signal and amessage that there is a risk of blockage of
the par ticle emissions filter.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the MAINTENANCE AND
WARR ANT Y GUIDE for details of
the replacement intervals for thesecomponents.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dustyatmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city
driving), replace them twice as often if necessar y.y A clogged passenger compar tment filter may have
an adverse effect on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirableodours.


Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the MAINTENANCE AND
WARR ANT Y GUIDE for details of
the replacement inter val for this component.

Brake pads

Brake disc wea
r
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
For in
formation on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a quali
fied workshop.
















Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, CITROËN selects and offersvery specific products.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

Checking this system must be done by aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,or in wintry conditions, ice, can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make lightbrake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
