have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "

precautions to be taken before disconnecting
