In good or rainy weather, both day and   night,   the   front   foglamps   and   the  
r

ear   foglamp   are   prohibited.   In   these  
s

ituations,   the   power   of   their   beams  
m

ay   dazzle   other   drivers.   They   should  
o

nly   be   used   in   fog   or   snow.
In
  these   weather   conditions,   it   is   your  
r

esponsibility   to   switch   on   the   foglamps  
a

nd   dipped   beam   headlamps   manually  
a

s   the   sunshine   sensor   may   detect  
s

ufficient   light.
Do
  not   forget   to   switch   off   the   front  
f

oglamps   and   the   rear   foglamp   when  
t

hey   are   no   longer   necessary.Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps   turn   off   immediately,   except   for  
d

ipped   beam   if   guide-me-home   lighting  
i

s   activated.
Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the   ring   to   the   "0"  position   -   lamps   off,  
t

hen   to   the   desired   position.
On
  opening   the   driver's   door   a  
t

emporary   audible   signal   warns   the  
d

river   that   the   lighting   is   on.
The
  lamps,   with   the   exception   of   the  
s

idelamps,   switch   off   automatically   after  
a

  maximum   duration   of   thirty   minutes   to  
p

revent   discharging   of   the   battery.

Switching off the engine leads to a loss o

Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment   or   portable   devices   to   be   charged.
Once
  the   state   of   charge   of   the   battery   drops  
t

o   the   reserve   level,   the   system   switches   to  
e

nergy   economy   mode:   the   power   supply   is  
c

ut   off   automatically   to   preserve   the   remaining  
b

attery   charge.
Avoid
  attaching   heavy   objects   to   the  
k

ey,   which   would   weigh   down   on   its  
b

lade   in   the   ignition   switch   and   could  
c

ause   a   malfunction.
It
  could   adversely   affect   the   deployment

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

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c

ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,  
t

he   heated   rear   screen...
The
  deactivated   functions   are   reactivated  
a

utomatically   as   soon   as   conditions   permit.System
  which   manages   the   duration   of   use   of  c
ertain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of

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

re   correctly   tightened   (versions   without   quick  
r

elease   terminals)   and   that   the   connections  
a

re   clean.Refer to the manufacturer's service   schedule   for   details   of   the  
r

eplacement   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  
t

he   replacement   interval   for   this  
c

omponent.
Oil filter
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
O ther 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  
f

ixed   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   speed   of   at  
l

east
 
40
 
mph   (60   km/h)   until   the   warning   lamp  
g

oes
 
off.
If
 
the
 
warning   lamp   stays   on,   this   indicates   a  
l

ow
 
additive   level.
Refer
 
to
 
the   "Diesel   additive   level"   section.
On a new 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,  
y

ou
 
may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice   the   emission   of   water   vapour   at
