byanaudiblesignalanda
messagethatthereisariskof
blockageoftheparticlefilter.
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.
Assoonasthetrafficconditionspermit,
regeneratethefilterbydrivingataspeedofat
least40mph(60km/h)untilthewarninglamp
goesoff.
Ifthewarninglampstayson,refertothe
"Additivelevel"section.
Unlessotherwiseindicated,checkthesecomponentsinaccordancewiththemanufacturer'sservicescheduleandaccordingtoyourengine.
Otherwise,havethemcheckedbyaCITROËNdealeroraqualifiedworkshop.

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.
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.
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performance
oftheairconditioningsystemandgenerate
undesirableodours.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is
indicatedby:
On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regenerationoftheparticlefiltermaybe
accompaniedbythesmellof"burning",
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.
