Front passenger's airbag activation warning lamp
See “Airbags”.
In addition to the catalytic converter, this filter contributes actively to the preserving of air quality, by collecting the polluting particles that have not been burnt off. Black exhaust fumes are thus eliminated.
Clogging of the particle filter
Clogging is caused by the particle filter starting to be saturated (owing to exceptionally long periods spent driving in urban conditions : low speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
In order to regenerate the filter you are advised to drive as soon as possible, when traffic conditions allow, at a speed of 60 km/h (approx. 37 mph) or more for at least 5 minutes.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Note: If the vehicle has been running for long periods at very low speeds or at idle, vapour emissions may be seen coming from the exhaust under acceleration.
These have no consequences for the running of the vehicle or for the environment.
The simultaneous lighting of the SERVI CE warning lamp and the display of the message “Risk of saturation of particle filter (FAP)” on the instrument panel screen indicates an increased risk of saturation.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
DIESEL additive level
The simultaneous lighting of the SERVI CE warning lamp and the display of the message “Particle filter (FAP) additive level too low” on the instrument panel screen indicates that the additive needs to be topped up.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
