Carbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be  carried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer.
o
n acceleration after the vehicle has 
been running for a prolonged period 
at
  very   low   speed   or   at   idle,   you   may,  
in
  exceptional   circumstances,   notice  
the
  emission   of   water   vapour   at   the  
exhaust.
 
This
   water   vapour   does   not  
have any adverse ef
fect on vehicle 
handling
  or   the   environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have your  battery   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles 
which are used in town, over short 
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to  
check
  the   thickness   of   the   pads,   even  
between
  services.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   on   the   circuit,   a  
drop
  in   the   brake   fluid   level   indicates  
that
  the   brake   pads   are   worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc  /   drum   wear,   contact   a   CITROËN  
dealer
.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the  
performance
  of   the   system,   the   parking
 brake
  should   be   adjusted,   even   between
 services.
Have
  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN
 dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance  with   the   manufacturer's  
servicing
  schedule.
An
 
access
 
flap
 
allows
 
replacement
 
of
 
the
 
filters.
The
 
carbon
 
filter
 
permits
 
continuous
 
and
 
effective
 
filtering
 
of
 
dust.
If
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
 
becomes
 
blocked,
 
this
 
may
 
reduce
 
the
 performance
 
of
 
the
 
air
 
conditioning
 system
 
and
 
generate
 
unpleasant
 odours.
W
e
 
recommend
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
a
 
combined
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter.
 
By
 
means
 
of
 
its
 
second
 
special
 
active
 
filter
,
 
it
 
contributes
 
to
 
the
 
purification
 
of the air breathed by the occupants 
and the cleanness of the passenger 
compartment
 
(reduction
 
of
 
allergic
 
symptoms,
 
unpleasant
 
odours
 
and
 
greasy
 
deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty 
booklet
 
for
 
the
 
replacement
 
interval
 
for
 
these
 
components. Depending
  on   the   environment   (dusty  
atmosphere...)
  and   the   use   of   the  
vehicle
  (urban   driving...),   change   them  
twice
  as   often   if   necessary.

Filling
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat  and   level   surface.
Pour
  the   contents   of   the   container   /  
bottle
  into   the   dedicated   tank.
After
  filling   the  
AdBlue® tank, observe the
 
following
 
procedure:
-
 
Switch on the ignition without 
starting.
-
 
W
ait 10 seconds before starting the 
engine.
Never
 
dispose
 
of
 
empty  
AdBlue® 
containers and bottles in the 
household
 
waste.
Place
 
them
 
in
 
a
 
special
 
container
 
provided
 
this
 
purpose
 
or
 
take
 
them
 
to  
your
 
dealer.
k
 eep  a dBlue
® out of the reach of 
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   container.
n
ever  transfer  a dBlue
® to another 
container:
 
it
 
would
 
loose
 
its
  purity.
Never
 
dilute
 
the
 
fluid
 
with
 
water.
Never
 
pour
 
the
 
fluid
 
into
 
the   Diesel   fuel  
tank.
Recommendations on storage
never store containers or bottles of adBlue® in your vehicle.
Freezing of the  AdBlue
®
adBlue® freezes at about -11°C (12.2° F) and
 
deteriorates   above   25°C   (77°F).
It
 
is
 
recommended   that   containers   and  
bottles be stored in a cool area and 
protected
  from   direct   sunlight.
Under
 
these   conditions,   the   fluid   can  
be
 
kept
  for   at   least   a   year.
a
dditive that has been frozen can 
be used once it has thawed out in 
ambient air. The
  SCR   system   includes   an  
a dBlue
® tank heater that ensures operation
  of   the   vehicle   in   normal  
conditions.
In exceptional situations, such 
as
 
when
 
the
 
vehicle   is   kept   at  
temperatures
  below   -15°C   (5°F)   for   a  
long
 
period,
 
there   may   be   an   emission  
fault alert related to freezing of the a
dBlue
® additive.
Park
 
the   vehicle   in   an   area   at   a   more  
moderate
  temperature   for   a   few   hours  
until 
the  a dBlue
® becomes a fluid again.
The
 
emissions
 
warning   lamp   does   not  
go
 
off
 
immediately,   but   does   so   after   a  
few
 
miles
 
of
 
driving.
