CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and according to your en-
gine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical infor-
mation" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before dis-
connecting the battery and following
its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged cabin fi lter may have an
adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and
generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each
time the engine oil is
changed. Particulate filter system
(Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic
converter, this fi lter makes an ac-
tive contribution to the preservation
of air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at
very low speeds, you may occasion-
ally notice water vapour being emit-
ted from the exhaust when acceler-
ating. This is of no consequence to
the running of the vehicle or to the
environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and lighting of the serv-
ice warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle
fi lter is starting to fi ll up (in condi-
tions of urban driving of exception-
ally long duration: low speeds, traf-
fi c jams etc.)
To regenerate the fi lter, it is advised
to drive as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit, at a speed
of 40 mph (around 60 km/h) or
more for at least fi ve minutes (until
the alert message disappears).
If this alert persists, consult a
CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the
replacement interval for this compo-
nent.
