dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them
twice as often if necessary
(refer to
the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter 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, refer to
the "Additive level" section.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in excep-
tional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This
does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment. or

Checking this system must be
done by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-

Manual parking brake

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-

style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
