Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the u
se of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
w
ith special technology and specification.
T
he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
o
r a qualified workshop is essential when
r
eplacing or disconnecting the battery.
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.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty a
tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city d
riving),
r
eplace them twice as often if necessar y .
A
clogged passenger compartment filter may have
a
n adverse effect on the per formance of the air
c
onditioning system and generate undesirable
o
dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
i
llumination of this warning lamp
a
ccompanied by a warning message.
As
soon as the traffic conditions permit,
r
egenerate the filter by driving at a
s
peed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
t
he
warning lamp goes off.
If
the warning lamp stays on, this
i
ndicates a low additive level.

articular, refer to the corresponding
s
ection.
On a new vehicle, the first particle

hich is per fectly normal.
Following
prolonged operation of the
v
ehicle at very low speed or at idle,

n
otice the emission of water vapour at
t
he
exhaust on acceleration. This does
