Complementary to the catalytic converter, this fi lter 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.
Clogging of the particle fi lter
If there is risk of clogging, a message appears on the multifun ction display, accompanied by a sound signal and lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle fi lter is starting to fi ll up (in conditions of urban driving of exceptionally lon g dura-tion: low speeds, traffi c jams etc.)
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised to drive as soon as p ossible, when traffi c conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km/h (around 40 mph) or more for at least fi ve minutes (until t he alert message disappears).
If this alert persists, consult a CITROËN dealer.
Observation : After prolonged idling or driving at very low speeds, you may occa sionally notice water vapour be-ing emitted from the exhaust when accelerating. This is of no consequence to the running of the vehicle or to the environment.
Diesel fuel additive level
If the additive level becomes too low, a message appears on the multifunction display, accompanied by a sound signal and lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp. It is necessa ry to have the additive level topped up. Urgently consult a CITROËN dealer.signal and lighting of the SERlighting of

Electrical control
From the driver’s seat position, the controls siutated on the door enable the vehicle’s electric win-dows to be actioned.
Note : The windows can also be operated for a short time after the ignition has been switched off (in-cluding after the front doors have been opened).
Sequential control
An action to the fi rst notch on the control starts a window movement which stops when the control is released. A press for about one second on the control will close or open the window fully, a further press will stop the movement.
PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS.
Always remove the key from the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
When the driver is actioning the controls for the passenger win dows, he must make sure that no-one is obstructing the windows from lo sing properly.
The driver should ensure that the passengers use the windows cor-rectly.
If any person should be at risk of becoming trapped by the operation of the windows, you must reverse the movement of the glass. For t hat, reverse the position of the control concerned.
This is for deactivating operation of the electric windows and opening of the rear doors from the rear seat positions. It is activated by a press on the control A located on the window control panel or by an action on the locks of the rear doors. The warning lamp in the instrument panel comes on temporarily. Each time you switch on the ignition, the warning lamp lights up for a short time.
It is still possible to open the doors from the outside and to operate the rear windows from the front seat positions.
Anti-pinch
An anti-pinch device will stop the glass from rising. If it meet s an obstacle, it goes back down.
After a battery disconnection or following a malfunction, you have to re-initialise theanti-pinch function for each window :
- Use the control to open the window fully, then attempt to close it. It will rise only a few centimetres.
- Pull again on the control until the window closes fully. Once the window is closed, sustain the press on the control for one second.
Warning : During this operation, the anti-pinch protection is inoperat ive.

Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside the cabin uses a number of sensors that relieve you of the need to make adjust-ments outside the displayed tem-perature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-light sensor located on the dash-board.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles and thumbwheels so that you can adjust the air fl ow and direction (up-down, right-left).
Air circulation
Air vents on the fl oor underneath the front seats provide enhanced heating for the rear seat positions : take care not to obstruct them.
Dust fi lter / odour fi lter (active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in accordance with the vehicle main-tenance schedule (see the Main-tenance Guide).
Air conditioning
To ensure that your system oper-ates correctly, it is recommended to have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning drains away through a hole provided for this purpose. A pool of water may thus form under the vehicle when sta-tionary.
To keep the air conditioning com-pressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.
To be effective, the air condition-ing should only be used with the windows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, ventilate the passen-ger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel consumption.

2 - Adjustment of temperature
The system can regulate temperature on an indepen-dent basis for the left hand side and right hand side as well as for the rear of the passenger compartment. Front and rear passengers can thus adjust their own temperatures.
To display the desired temperature, press button :
- – to decrease the temperature,
- + to increase the temperature.
An adjustment around 21 will provide an agreeable temperature level. However, depending on your prefe-rence, anything between 18 and 24 is quite normal.
For optimum comfort, it is recommended to avoid an adjustment difference greater than 3 between right and left.
Note : Actual temperatures experienced in the passenger compartment are dependent on external factors and for this reason might not be identical to those displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside temperature may be much colder (or hotter) than would be comfortable. It serves no purpose to alter the temperature displayed in an attempt to attain your preference more rapidly. The system automatically does all in its power to make up the difference in temperature as soon as possible.

The air blower operates only when the engine is run ning (except when the REST function is activated).
To adjust the fl ow of air, press on the button :
to increase the air fl ow
to decrease the air fl ow (this button also has the REST function)
The level of air fl ow is indicated on the display by the progressive fi lling of the ventilator blades.
Note : If you place the air blower on position 0, the system is deactivated. The air blower display will be empty, with the indication OFF.
Function for retaining ventilation with the engine switched off
The REST function is available when you switch on the ignition and when you stop the engine.
This function allows you to retain ventilation in the passenger compartment for a few minutes, even with the engine stopped.
When you leave the vehicle, any passengers present can still have the benefi t of air circulation, even though the engine is not running.
