Particle filter (Diesel)
- fixed illumination of the particle f
ilter warning lamp, accompanied
b
y an audible signal and a
m
essage that there is a risk of
b
lockage of the particle filter.
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.

i
s
essential
when
replacing
or
disconnecting
t
he
battery. 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, refer to the
"
Additive
level" section.
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.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement
intervals for these
c
omponents.

Refer
to the manufacturer's
s
ervice schedule for details of
the
replacement interval for this
c
omponent.
12 V battery
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.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to 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.
city 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.The start of saturation of the particle filter is
indicated
by:
on a n
ew vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration
of the particle filter may be
a
ccompanied by the smell of "burning",
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.
