therwise, you risk seriously 
damaging your engine. When the engine 
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is 
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can 
operate with the ignition key removed and 
because the cooling system is pressurised, 
wait for at least one hour after the engine 
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release 
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding. 
When the pressure has dropped, remove the 
cap and top up the level with coolant.
For access to the header tank filler cap, 
remove the protective cover by turning its 
three fixing screws a quarter turn.

The 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 specification. 
The involvement of a Ci T roën  dealer 
or a qualified workshop is essential when 
replacing or disconnecting the battery. These operations will keep your vehicle 
in good running order. Ask for advice 
from a C i T roën  dealer or refer to the 
maintenance and warranty guide included in 
the handbook pack.

At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a C i T roën  dealer or a qualified

Bleeding water from the diesel 
filter
if this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter , or bleed regularly 
each time the engine oil is 
changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed 
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located 
at the base of the filter. Leave open until 
all of the water has been drained out. Then 
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
Air filter and passenger 
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
may reduce the performance of the 
air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. The replacement 
intervals for these components are given in 
the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary.

Brake pad wear depends on the style of

used in town, over short distances.

For any information on checking the brake 
disc wear, contact a C i T roën  dealer or a

Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be

Operating fault
i
f this alert persists, do not ignore the 
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred 
in the exhaust / particle filter system.
Have the whole system checked by a 
C
i T roën  dealer or a qualified workshop.
i
f there is risk of blockage of the 
filter, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel.
Saturation / 
r
egeneration
Because of the higher exhaust 
gas temperature resulting from the 
normal operation of the particle filter, it is 
recommended that you do not park the 
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, 
dry leaves, pine needles,
 
...) so as to avoid 
any risk of fire.
Particle filter system (diesel)
An addition to the catalytic converter, this 
filter makes an active contribution to the 
preservation of air quality by the retaining 
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black 
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system, 
accumulates particles of soot. The engine 
management unit controls the automatic 
periodic elimination of the soot particles 
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is invoked 
according to the quantity of particles 
accumulated and the driving conditions 
of the vehicle. During this phase, you 
may notice some unusual phenomena - 
increased idling speed, cooling fan running, 
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas 
temperature
  - which does not affect the 
operation of the vehicle or the environment. After prolonged idling or driving at very 
low speeds, you may occasionally 
notice water vapour being emitted from the 
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no 
consequence to the running of the vehicle or 
to the environment. To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive 
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions 
and the law permit, at a speed of at least 
 
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine 
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen 
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the 
message disappears).
i
f possible, avoid switching off the engine 
before the end of regeneration of the 
filter; repeated interruptions could cause 
premature deterioration of the engine oil. 
i t 
is not recommended to end regeneration of 
the filter with the vehicle stationary.
This alert tells you that the particle filter 
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban 
driving of exceptionally long duration: low 
speeds, traffic jams etc.)
