particles. It is controlled

completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
Brake pads
The carbon filter permits continuous and effective
filtering of dust.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
If the passenger compartment filter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate unpleasant
odours.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment filter. By means of its second special
active filter, it contributes to the purification of the
air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness
of the passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and greasy
deposits).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Brake disc / drum wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet to find
out the replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle (urban
driving...), change them twice as often if necessary.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
