Refer
to the manufacturer's
s
ervice schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe 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
s
pecification.
T
he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or
a qualified workshop is essential when
r
eplacing or disconnecting the battery.

(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
of 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
