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

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

off.
If
 
the

Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The
 
AdBlue
® additive freezes at t
emperatures   below   around   -11°C.
The
 
SCR
 
system   includes   a   heater  
f

or
 
the
 
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
 
driving   in   very   cold   conditions.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in useFilling the AdBlue® tank is an operation i
ncluded
 
in
 
every
 
routine   service   on   your  
v

ehicle
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
Nevertheless,
 
given   the   capacity   of   the   tank,  
i

t
 
may
 
be
 
necessary   to   top-up   the   additive  
b

etween
 
services,
  more   particularly   if   an   alert  
(

warning
 
lamps
 
and   a   message)   signals   the  
r

equirement.
You
 
can
 
got
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
If
 
you
 
envisage
 
topping-up   yourself,   please  
r

ead
 
the
 
following
 
warnings   carefully. Keep
  AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   bottle.
Never
 
transfer   AdBlue
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
lose
  its   purity. Never
  dilute   the   additive   with   water.
Never   pour   the   additive   into   the   Diesel  
f

uel   tank.
Never   top-up   from   an   AdBlue®
dispenser
 
reserved
 
for
 
heavy
 
goods  
v

ehicles.
Use
 
only
 
AdBlue
® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
 
standard.
The
 
supply
 
in
 
a
 
non-drip   bottle   simplifies  
t

opping-up.
 
You
 
can   obtain   1.89   litre   (half   a   US  
g

allon)
 
bottles
 
from   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
The
 
AdBlue® additive is an urea-based s
olution.
 
This   liquid   is   non-flammable,  
c

olourless
 
and   odourless   (kept   in   a   cool   area).
In
 
the
 
event
 
of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash  
t

he
 
affected
 
area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

vent
 
of
 
contact   with   the   eyes,   wash   (irrigate)  
t

he
 
eyes
 
with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with  
a

n
 
eye
 
wash
  solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
I

f
 
a
 
burning
 
sensation   or   irritation   persists,   get  
m

edical
 
attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

ith
 
clean
 
water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain
 
conditions   (high   ambient  
t

emperature,
  for   example),   the   risk   of   release  
o

f
 
ammonia
 
cannot   be   excluded:   do   not   inhale  
t

he
 
product.
 
Ammonia   vapour   has   an   irritant  
e

ffect
 
on
 
mucous   membranes   (eyes,   nose   and
