The battery does not require any maintenance.However, check that the terminals are clean and   correctly   tightened,   particularly   in   summer a

nd   winter.
Refer to the manufacturer's service   schedule   for   details   of   the

s

ervice   schedule   for   details   of  
t

he   replacement   interval   for   this  
c

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

s   essential   when   replacing   or   disconnecting  
t

he   battery.
Unless
  other wise   indicated,   check   these   components   in   accordance   with   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule   and   according   to   your   engine.
Other wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
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

m

essage.
As
 
soon   as   the   traffic   conditions   permit,

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

he
 
warning   lamp   goes   off.
If
 
the
 
warning   lamp   stays   on,   this  
i

ndicates   a   low   additive   level.
on a n

ew vehicle, the first particle
filter
 
regeneration   operations   may   be  
a

ccompanied   by   a   "burning"   smell,  
w

hich
 
is   per fectly   normal.
Following
  prolonged   operation   of   the  
v

ehicle
 
at   very   low   speed   or   at   idle,  
y

ou
 
may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice
 
the   emission   of   water   vapour   at  
t

he
 
exhaust   on   acceleration.   This   does  
n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
 
the
 
environment.
When
 
carrying
 
out
 
work
 
on
 
the
 
battery,
 
refer
 
t

o
 
the
 
"12
 
V

section
 
for
 
details
 
of
 
the
 
p
