saturated.
As soon as driving conditions allow, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h)
until the warning lamp goes off.
fixed, accompanied by an audible signal and and a message that the
particle emissions filter additive level is too low.
This indicates the low level of the additive reser voir. Have the reser voir topped up as soon as possible by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, at the same time as the ser vice information.
Engine oil level indicator
The vehicle must be on level ground and the engine must have been off for more than 30 minutes for this level check to be accurate.
Oil level correct
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or the display of a specific message in the instrument
panel, coupled with the ser vice warning lamp and accompanied by an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid damage to the engine.
Oil level indicator fault
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL - -" or the display of a specific message in the instrument panel. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
There are 2 marks on the dipstick: - A = max; never exceed this level (risk of damage to the engine), - B = min; top up the level via the oil filler cap, using the correct grade of oil for your engine.
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations and meet the DOT4 standard.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
The reading will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than30 minutes. The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.

Checks
Battery Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Oil filter
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Maintenance and Warranty Guide and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, par ticularly in summer and winter. When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Practical information" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide for details of the replacement inter vals for these components. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessar y (refer to the "Engines" section). A clogged passenger compar tment 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.
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty Guide for details of the replacement inter val for this component.
The presence of this label, in par ticular with the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is required when replacing or
disconnecting the battery. Failure to obser ve this recommendation may shor ten the life of the battery.
