Changing a fuse
 
CHANGING A FUSE 
 
The two fuseboxes are placed on the 
dashboard on the driver's side and under the 
bonnet. 
   
Removing and fitting a fuse 
 
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the 
fault must be found and rectified. The fuse 
numbers are indicated on the fusebox. 
  Always use the special tweezer to extract 
the fuse from its housing and check the 
condition of its filament. 
   
Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse 
of the same rating.  
  If a fuse fails again soon after replacement, 
have the electrical system of your vehicle 
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.    
Access to fuses in the dashboard 
   
 
-   To gain access to the dashboard fuses, 
remove the 2 screws using the ignition 
key and tilt the housing.  
    CITROËN will not accept responsibility 
for the cost incurred in repairing your 
vehicle or for rectifying the malfunctions 
resulting from the installation of accessories 
not supplied and not recommended by 
CITROËN dealers and not installed in 
accordance with its instructions, in particular 
when the combined consumption of all of 
the additional equipment connected exceeds 
10 milliamperes.    
 
A. 
  Good.  
   
B. 
  Failed.  
   
C. 
  Tweezer.  
 
   
Access to fuses in the engine compartment 
   
 
-   For access to the fuses in the engine 
compartment, remove the left hand front 
headlamp connector, then unclip the 
fusebox cover.

Checks
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Manual gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change). 
  Refer to the maintenance and warranty 
guide for the details of the level checking 
interval for this component.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, 
refer to the pages of the maintenance and 
warranty guide which correspond to your 
vehicle's engine. 
  Only use products recommended by 
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality 
and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, CITROËN 
selects and offers specific products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the electrical 
units, high pressure washing to clean the 
engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
  After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
Particle filter system (1.3 HDi 75) 
 
An addition to the catalytic converter, this 
filter 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. 
  This filter, fitted to the exhaust system, 
accumulates particles of soot. The engine 
control unit manages the automatic 
periodic elimination of the soot particles 
(regeneration). 
  The regeneration procedure is invoked 
according to the quantity of particles 
accumulated and the driving conditions 
of the vehicle. During this phase, you 
may notice some unusual phenomena - 
increased idling speed, cooling fan running, 
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas 
temperature - which does not affect the 
operation of the vehicle or the environment. 
  After prolonged idling or driving at very low 
speeds, you may occasionally notice water 
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when 
accelerating. This is of no consequence 
to the running of the vehicle or to the 
environment.    
Saturation/Regeneration 
  If there is risk of blockage of the 
filter, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel. 
  This alert tells you that the 
particle filter is starting to fill up (in 
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally 
long duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.) 
  To regenerate the filter, it is advised to 
drive as soon as possible, when traffic 
conditions and the law permit, at a speed 
of at least 40 mph (around 60 km/h), with 
an engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about 
fifteen minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears). 
  If possible, avoid switching off the engine 
before the end of regeneration of the 
filter; repeated interruptions could cause 
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It 
is not recommended to end regeneration of 
the filter with the vehicle stationary.  
   
Operating fault 
  If this alert persists, do not ignore the 
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred 
in the exhaust/particle filter system. 
  Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Electronic gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change). 
  Refer to the maintenance and warranty 
guide for details of the checking interval for 
this component.  
  Because of the higher exhaust 
gas temperature resulting from the 
normal operation of the particle filter, it is 
recommended that you do not park the 
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, 
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid 
any risk of fire.
