Complementary to the catalytic converter, this filter makes an active contribution to the preservation of air quality b y the
retaining of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black exhaus t fumes are thus no longer emitted.
Clogging of the particle filter
If there is a risk of clogging, a message appears on the multif unction screen, accompanied by a sound signal.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is starting to f ill 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 pos sible, when traffic conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km/h
(around 40 mph) or more for at least five minutes (until the alert message dis appears).
If this alert persists, consult a CITROËN dealer.
Observation: 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 con sequence to the running of the vehicle or to the environ-
ment.
Diesel fuel additive level
If the diesel fuel additive level is low, a message appears on the multifunction screen accompanied by a sound signal.
It is necessary to have the additive level topped up.
Contact your CITROËN dealer.

Parking assistance
When reversing the vehicle, prox-
imity sensors located in the rear
bumper will inform you, by means
of a modulated audible signal, of
the presence of any obstacle within
the detection zone behind the vehi-
cle.
When engaging reverse gear, a
short audible signal confirms to
you that the system is active:
- as the vehicle approaches the ob-
stacle, the audible signal repeats
more and more rapidly,
- when the obstacle is less than 20 centimetres from the rear of the
vehicle, the signal becomes con-
tinuous.
However, the proximity sensors
cannot detect obstacles situated
immediately below the level of the
bumper. Objects such as spikes or
marker posts or similar may be de-
tected at the beginning of the ma-
noeuvre, but may no longer be
sensed when the vehicle gets
close.
Note: This system can be deacti-
vated by your CITROËN Dealer if
you so wish.


On engaging reverse gear, a short sound signal
followed by a long sound signal indicates a malfunction. Contact the CITROËN network.
Detection zone
Deactivation
Moving the gear lever to neutral deactivates the system.
Note: The system is deactivated automatically if a trail er or caravan is attached to the vehicle. For fitting a towbar, you are advised to contact yo ur nearest CITROËN dealership or authorised repairer. Remove the towing ball if you are no longer towing, so that it does not interfere with the functioning of the proximity sensors.
Advice : in bad weather and during the winter months, make sure that the sensors are not obstructed by mud, ice or snow.

Entry of air
Make sure that the exterior air inlet grille and manifold at the base of the windscreen is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc..If you wash the vehicle using a high pressure jet, avoid targeting anywhere near the air inlet.
Air vents
The face-level air vents have controls for adjusting the air ow and grilles for orienting the direction.
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained from having a good distribution of air in both the front and the rear of the passenger compartment. Air outlets on the oor beneath the front seats enhance comfort for rear passengers, so you should make sure that these outlets are not obstructed.
Pollen lter
Your installation has a lter for excluding dust.This lter has to be changed at the prescribed maintenance intervals (see the Maintenance Guide).
Additional heating
Vehicles with HDi engines may be tted with an automatic additional heating system for enhancing your comfort.
It is normal to notice certain emissions of fumes and odours, especially when stationary, with the engine running at idle.
Air conditioning
Whatever the time of year, the air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting.
To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed , it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.
To be effective, the air conditioning should only b e operated with the windows closed.
If after a prolonged stop in bright sunshine, the inside temperature has become excessive, open the windows for a few moments to air the cabin, then close the windows again.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than the ambient temperature if the air conditioning is not operating.
If you are pulling a heavy trailer in very high ambient temperatures, the air conditioning may temporarily be interrupted if the engine cooling requirements demand this.
Water arising from the condensation in the air conditioning system drains out through a hole provided for that purpose; a pool of water may thus be observed underneath the vehicle when stationary.
It is recommended to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis (see the Maintenance Guide).
The air conditioning uses power from the engine to operate. There is a resulting slight increase in fu el consumption.

1 - Automatic operation
This is the optimal and normal mode
for using the air conditioning system
to ensure a circulation of air suf cient to maintain a good level of comfort.
A press on the control for this, con rmed by
the display of « AUTO », provides automatic
operation at the selected temperature of the
following 5 functions :
- Air ow.
- Cabin temperature.
- Air distribution.
- Air conditioning.
- Air recirculation. Is is advised to keep all the air vents open.Notes :
- When starting the engine from cold, in order to prevent an unwanted rush of cold
air, the blower attains its optimum level only
progressively. - When you are entering the vehicle after a fairly prolon-
ged stop and the temperature inside the cabin is far
colder (or far hotter) than would be comfortable, it is
no use altering the displayed temperature to try to res-
tore the desired comfort level more rapidly. The system
automatically strives to compensate this temperature
discrepancy as rapidly as possible.
2- Adjustment of temperature
To display the desired temperature,
press one of the buttons :
To increase the temperature
To decrease the température
Display of the temperature requested for the cabin
A setting close to 21 will provide a good comfort l evel.
Manual resumption of one or more functions
It is possible to adjust any of the following functions
manually, while retaining all the other functions in
automatic mode. The warning lamp for the «AUTO»
function will then go out.IIIIII

Warning lamp « A/C » or « AUTO » is illuminated.
If you press on the button, you see « ECO » displayed,
the air conditioning is stopped, « A/C » or « AUTO »
disappears.
To prevent misting inside the vehicle in either cold or
humid weather, you are advised to use AUTO mode
and to avoid ECO mode.
5 - Air recirculation
If you press on this button, the intake of air from
outside is closed off, as confirmed by the display.
This position enables you to exclude any
unpleasant odours or fumes comng from outside. It s hould
be cancelled as soon as possible to allow renewal of
cabin air and to prevent misting.
For this, press on the button « AUTO ». 6- Air distributor
Press on the button for successive display of air
flows to :
Windscreen.
