Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Checks
12 v battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals are
correctly tightened and that the connections
are clean.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
When carrying out any operation on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
starting work.
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterParticle filter (
die
sel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
multifunction screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.

Moving off
For more information on the
electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.
You can change the operating mode of the
Hybrid4 system at any time using its mode
selector.
Driving in ZEV
mode requires that particular
conditions be met.
When your vehicle vehicle moves off
in electric mode, it makes no noise. Be
very careful of pedestrians, cyclists...
as, because of this, they will not hear
you coming.
Head-up display
The colour of the speedometer varies
according to the drive train used:
- white display: Diesel engine
running,
- blue display: Diesel engine
stopped.
Using automatic mode with the
electronic gearbox optimises gear
changes and so gives more economical
driving.
)
If automatic operation of the electric
parking brake has been deactivated, pull
then release the control lever to release the
parking brake manually.
)
Progressively release the brake pedal.
)
With the parking brake released, the
vehicle then moves off.
If the parking brake is still applied and is in
automatic mode, accelerate progressively.
)
Move the gear selector to
position A
(automatic mode) or M
(manual
mode) or R
(reverse).

Frequently asked questions
100% electric mode (zero emissions)
Question
Answer
Why is it not always possible for me to select ZEV
(Zero Emissions Vehicle) mode even though the battery
seems well charged? This situation is temporary.
Certain conditions will occasionally prevent the change to ZEV mode, even if the battery
has sufficient charge, such as, for example, very cold conditions, altitude, demisting, high
demand for heating or air conditioning, regeneration of the particle filter (FAP).
Why do I sometimes see an alert message " Electric
mode not available: FAP regeneration in progress" ? This is a message which indicates that regeneration of the particle filter (FAP) is in progress.
This is a completely normal process that takes place every 240 or 300 miles (400 or 500 km)
(or more frequently in prolonged urban use), as on a conventional HDi Diesel vehicle.
In the case of a conventional HDi Diesel vehicle, this process is not generally noticed by the
driver.
On the other hand, in the case of Hybrid4 this phenomenon may be noticeable (in urban use)
as temporarily the HDi engine will not stop and this message will be displayed at inter vals
while regeneration is in progress.
Why is it not possible for me to put the vehicle into ZEV
mode, even though I had just been running electrically
in AUTO
mode? The management of ZEV is different from AUTO
mode.
Changing to ZEV
mode is only possible with a battery charge of at least 4 bars, in order to
assure sufficient range.
In AUTO
mode, the system alone manages the conditions for changing temporarily to
electric mode, for shorter periods and with a lower state of charge of the battery.
Why is the range in ZEV
mode lower when going uphill? The vehicle needs more energy when going uphill than when running on the level.
So it is better to stay in AUTO
mode, which will favour operation of the HDi Diesel engine.
Why is it that the system makes me come out of ZEV
mode; it does not return to ZEV
mode automatically
when the conditions allow? It is not intended to give preference to ZEV
running at any cost, as it is not always the
most economical mode.
So the system returns automatically to AUTO
mode.
