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.
 
The
 
involvement
 
o

f
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a
 
qualified
 
workshop
 
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.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine   oil   is   changed.
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 new 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.

First check that the slave battery has a n ominal   voltage   of   12   V   and   a   capacity  
a

t   least   equal   to   that   of   the   discharged  
b

attery.
Do

C4-2_en_Chap08_en-cas-de-panne_ed02-2015
Protect your eyes and face before
handling  the   battery.
All
  operations   on   the   battery   must   be  
c

arried out in a well ventilated area and
away
  from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

xplosion   or   fire.
Do
  not   try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery;  
t

he   battery   must   first   be   thawed   out   to  
a

void   the   risk   of   explosion.   If   the   battery  
h

as   been   frozen,   before   charging   have  
i

t   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop   who   will   check   that  
t

he   internal   components   have   not   been  
d

amaged   and   the   casing   is   not   cracked,  
w

hich   could   cause   a   leak   of   toxic   and  
c

orrosive   acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and use only
a
  12   V   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   terminals   while  
t

he   engine   is   running.
Do
  not   charge   the   batteries   without  
d

isconnecting   the   terminals   first.
Wash
  your   hands   after wards. Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine
  if   your   vehicle   has   an   automatic  
g

earbox.
Some
 
functions
 
are
 
not
 
available
 
if
 
the
 
b

attery
 
is
 
not
 
sufficiently
 
charged.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if
the
 
vehicle
 
is
 
to
 
be
 
left
 
unused
 
for
 
more
 t

han
 
one
 
month.
The batteries contain harmful substances s uch   as   sulphuric   acid   and   lead.   They m

ust   be   disposed   of   in   accordance
 w

ith   regulations   and   must   not,   in   any
 c

ircumstances,   be   discarded   with   household

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound
 
quality   between   the  
d

ifferent   audio   sources. For
  optimum   sound   quality,   the   audio   settings   for   Volume,   Bass,  
T

reble,   Equalizer   and   Loudness   can   be   adapted   to   the   different  
s

ound   sources,   which   may   result   in   audible   differences   when  
c

hanging
 s
ource. Check
  that   the   audio   settings   for   (Volume,   Bass,  
T

reble,   Equalizer,   Loudness)   are   adapted   to   the  
s

ources   listened   to.   It   is   advisable   to   set   the  
A

udio   functions   (Bass,   Treble,   Fr-Re   balance,  
L

e-Ri   balance)   to   the   middle   position,   select   the  
"

Linear",   musical   ambience   and   set   the   loudness  
c

orrection   to   the   "Active"   position   in   CD   mode   or  
t

o   the   "Inactive"   position   in   radio   mode.
With
 
the   engine   off,   the  
s

ystem
  switches   off   after   a  
f

ew
 
minutes   of   use. When
  the   engine   is   switched   off,   the   system's   operating   time  
d

epends   on   the   state   of   charge   of   the   battery.
The
  switch-off   is   normal:   the   system   switches   to   economy   mode  
a

nd   switches   off   to   prevent   discharging   of   the   vehicle's   battery.Start
  the   vehicle's   engine   to   increase   the   battery
