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.These operations will keep your vehicle 
in good running order. Ask for advice 
from a CITROËN dealer or refer to the 
maintenance and warranty guide included in 
the handbook pack.

Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Bleeding water from the diesel 
filter
If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter, or bleed regularly 
each time the engine oil is 
changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed 
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located 
at the base of the filter. Leave open until 
all of the water has been drained out. Then 
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
Air filter and passenger 
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
may reduce the performance of the 
air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. The replacement 
intervals for these components are given in 
the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the 
bonnet" section.
HDi engines use advanced technology. 
All work requires a special qualification 
which is guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
