12 V battery


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






The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Unless other wise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
maintenance and warranty guide and according
to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the
par ticle filter is indicated by
the temporary illumination of
this warning lamp accompanied by a message
in the multi-function screen.
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, this
indicates a low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.

Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the
replacement inter vals for these
components.



















Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and

atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary
.

have an adverse effect on the per formance of the
air conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
