Checks
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 manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the replacement interval for this
component.
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. Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for the checking interval for this component.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the level checking interval for this
component.
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.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.

each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
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.
