Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fil-
ter must be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Topping up
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
This additive must be topped up by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified work-
shop without delay.
Battery
Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
Waste products
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fluids with the skin.

channels, deposit it in the containers dedi-
cated to this use in the CITROËN network
(France) or a qualified workshop or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fil-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
