Electrical energy economy mode*
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge   in   the   battery.
After

This
  period   may   be   greatly   reduced   if   the   battery   is   not   fully   charged.
Let

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever,   check   regularly   that   the   terminals a

re   correctly   tightened   (versions   without   quick
 r

elease   terminals)   and   that   the   connections
 a

re   clean.Refer to the manufacturer's service   schedule   for   details   of   the  
r

eplacement   intervals   for   these  
c

omponents.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice   schedule   for   details   of  
t

he   replacement   interval   for   this  
c

omponent.
Oil filter
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.
Depending
  on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere)   and   the   use   of   the   vehicle  
(e.g.
  city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A

h

ave   an   adverse   effect   on   the   per formance  
o

f   the   air   conditioning   system   and   generate

dours.
When
  carrying   out   any   operation   on   the  
12

f

or   details   of   the   precautions   to   be   taken   before  
s

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance   (no   oil   change).

General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances such   as   sulphuric   acid   and   lead.
They
  must   be   disposed   of   in  
a

ccordance   with   regulations   and   must  
n

ot,   in   any   circumstances,   be   discarded  
w

ith   household   waste.
Take
  used   remote   control   batteries   and  
v

ehicle batteries to a special collection
point. Protect
  your   eyes   and   face   before  h
andling   the   battery.
All
  operations   on   the   battery   must   be  
c

arried   out   in   a   well   ventilated   area   and  
a

way   from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

xplosion   or   fire.
Wash
