Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean 
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer 
and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with 
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of 
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special 
technology and specification. The involvement 
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 
is essential when replacing or disconnecting 
the battery. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
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.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may 
have an adverse effect on the per formance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. Replace the oil filter each time 
the
  engine oil is changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the replacement interval for this 
component.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer 
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the 
precautions to be taken before disconnecting 
the battery and following its reconnection. Refer to the manufacturer's 
service schedule for details of the 
replacement intervals for these 
components.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for the checking interval for this component.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the level checking interval for this 
component.
Particle filter system 
(Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic converter, 
this filter makes an active contribution to the 
preservation of air quality by trapping unburnt 
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are 
thus no longer emitted.
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.
If there is risk of blockage, a message 
appears in the instrument panel screen, 
accompanied by an audible signal and 
illumination of the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle filter 
is approaching saturation (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 permit, at a speed of 40 mph 
(around 60 km/h) or more for at least 
five minutes (until the alert message 
disappears).
If this alert persists, contact a CITR
oËn
 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the level checking interval for this 
component.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the 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.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake 
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in 
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake 
pads are worn.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of 
effectiveness of this system is 
noticed, the parking brake must be 
checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Only use products recommended by 
CITROËN or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
units as important as those in the 
braking system, CITROËN selects and 
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, 
or in wintry conditions, ice can form 
on the brake discs and pads: braking 
efficiency may be reduced. Make light 
brake applications to dry and defrost 
the brakes.
