Particle filter system
(Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic converter,
this filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by trapping unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are
thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence to the
running of the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of blockage, a message
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is approaching saturation (in conditions
of urban driving of exceptionally long
duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions permit, at a speed of 40 mph
(around 60 km/h) or more for at least
five minutes (until the alert message
disappears).
If this alert persists, contact a CITR
oËn


dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the level checking interval for this
component.

The speed of a towing vehicle must never exceed 100 km/h (approx. 60 mph) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when the ambient temperature is
higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
