RUNNING-IN
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometres), avoid over-revving,
and do not let the needle reach the coloured marks of the
corresponding speed ranges, before changing gear. Also avoid
during this period:
-harsh acceleration,
-fierce braking (the brake linings must be run in),
-long journeys at constant speed,
-labouring the engine at too low a speed.
SERVICING AND GUARANTEE
At the time of delivery, you will be given a "Maintenance Guide",
with a "Guarantee Card" and a 600 miles (1,000 km) "Servicing
Certificate".
On completion of the first 600 miles (1,000 km), any Citroën dealer\
,
whether he supplied the vehicle or not, will service the car, free-of-
charge, on presentation of this "Maintenance Guide".
It is particularly important that the oil filter cartridge, which has to\
comply to the standard regulations, should be of the type
recommended by Citroën.
Only the cost of the materials used will be charged for.
The dealer will keep the Servicing Certificate and sign the
Guarantee Card.

This card must be signed for you to benefit from the guarantee.
INFLUENCE OF DRIVING TECHNIQUES ON RUNNING
COSTS
The manner in which a car is driven affects its running costs,
particularly as far as fuel, oil, and tyre expenses are concerned.
Running costs increase notably with:
-speed,
-frequent and prolonged use of low gears,
-accelerating and braking too often or too fiercely,
unnecessary use of the accelerator pedal,
-leaving the choke out,
-taking bends at high speeds,
-tyre inflated to incorrect pressures.
Oil consumption, which varies a great deal with the use of the car,
is also influenced when running in the engine, and you are advised
to pay particular attention to this point as well as to the oil change
section in the Maintenance Guide.
TOWING A TRAILER
If you intend to tow a caravan or trailer, consult your Citroën deale\
r
first, who will give you all the necessary advice, especially in so far \
as the legal requirements are concerned.
The maximum towing weights are, in France:
- Trailer without brake: 270 kg (595 lbs)
- Trailer with overrun brake: 400 kg (881 lbs)

Do not forget to ask your insurance company for an International Green C\
ard. This will avoid extra expenses
when entering countries where insurance is compulsory and can avoid seri\
ous complications in the event of an accident in another country.
However, it is only valid in those countries which are covered by the In\
surance policy (look for the geographical limits in the "General Conditions" section of your policy)\
.
In certain countries, a large sum may be required as a deposit in case o\
f an accident causing personal bodily injury. There are insurance policies which cover this risk.
If you are going to a country where the opposite rule of the road applie\
s, first consult your Citroën dealer about dipped headlamps.
