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.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever, check that the terminals are clean a
nd correctly tightened, particularly in summer
a
nd winter.Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the
replacement
intervals for these
c
omponents.
Replace

The presence of this label, in particular with
the
Stop
&
Start
system,
indicates
the
use
of
a s
pecific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology
and
specification.
The
involvement
o
f
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
i
s
essential
when
replacing
or
disconnecting
t
he
battery. The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by the
temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
a
ccompanied by a message in the multifunction
sc
reen.
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.
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,
you
may, in exceptional circumstances,
n
otice the emission of water vapour at
t
he exhaust on acceleration. This does
n
ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
the environment.
When
carrying
out
work
on
the
battery,
refer
t
o the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions
to
be
taken
before
disconnecting
t
he
battery
and
following
its
reconnection. Depending
on the environment (e.g. dusty
a
tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
c
ity
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.

Brake wear depends on the style o
f driving, particularly in the case o
f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to have
t
he condition of the brakes checked,
e
ven between vehicle services.
The
gearbox
does
not
require
any

aintenance
(no
oil
change).
Refer
to
the
