  from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain functions   according   to   the   level   of   charge  
r

emaining   in   the   battery.
When
  the   vehicle   is   being   driven,   the   load  
r

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c

ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,  
t

he   heated   rear   screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically
  as   soon   as   conditions   permit.System
  which   manages   the   duration   of   use   of  c
ertain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of
  charge   in   the   battery.
After
  the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can  
s

till use functions such as the audio and
telematics
  system, windscreen   wipers,   dipped

Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically n ext   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately,
  start   the   engine   and   let   it   run:

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever,   check   that   the   terminals   are   clean a

nd   correctly   tightened,   particularly   in   summer
 a

nd   winter.Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the
replacement
  intervals   for   these  
c

omponents.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice schedule for details of
the
  replacement   interval   for   this  
c

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

pecific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology
  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
fixed
  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
 
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,
you
 
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 battery" section for details of the
precautions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
before
 
disconnecting
 
t

he
