Particle filter (Diesel)
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Depending on the environment
The start of saturation of the particle
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary.
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
Otherwise, have them checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least
37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
12 V battery
Passenger compartment
filter
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release terminals)
and that the connections are clean.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
For more information and the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding
section.
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
