Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular with
the   Stop   &   Start   system,   indicates   the   use   of  
a

  specific   12   V   lead-acid   battery   with   special  
t

echnology   and   specification.   The   involvement  
o

f   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop  
i

Depending   on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle  
(

e.g. city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A   clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may  
h

ave   an   adverse   effect   on   the   per formance  
o

f   the   air   conditioning   system   and   generate  
u

ndesirable
 o
dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the
particle
  filter   is   indicated   by   the  
f

ixed   illumination   of   this   warning  
l

amp   accompanied   by   a   warning  
m

essage.
As
 
soon   as   the   traffic   conditions   permit,  
r

egenerate   the   filter   by   driving   at   a  
s

peed   of   at   least   40   mph   (60   km/h)   until  
t

he
