Diesel Particle Filter - CITROEN C6 Owner's Handbook Manual

II
64
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
If there is a risk of clogging, a message appears on the multifunction screen, accompanied by a sound
signal and the lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp.
This alert is caused by the particle filter starting to be saturated (in exceptionally prolonged urban driv-
ing, for example : reduced speed, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive, as soon as possible when traffic conditions permit, at a speed of 60 km / h
or more for at least 5 minutes, until the alert message disappears. If this alert 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.
DIESEL ADDITIVE LEVEL
If the additive level is low, a message appears on the multifunction screen, accompanied by a sound signal and the
lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp. It is necessary to have the additive topped up.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.

The simultaneous lighting of the SERVICE warning lamp and the depollution system warning
lamp, accompanied by a message and a sound signal, indicates an increased risk of clogging.
Contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
