Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the
heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as
close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of operations
recommended in the manufacturer's service
schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty your vehicle becomes
polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay to have the
emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level. When refuelling, do not continue after the third
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after
the first 1 800 miles (3
000 kilometres) that you
will see the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for
less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings
, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an
aid to driving which does not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. Pressure sensors are located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.

205
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or
a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning
lamp indicates a fault with the system.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have the
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
F
I
f you have a compressor (e.g. the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit), check
the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not detected
by your vehicle (e.g. fitting snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels. For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your
vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on
roads that have been cleared of snow,
to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres
and the road sur face. If your vehicle
is fitted with alloy wheels, check that
no part of the chain or its fixings is in
contact with the wheel rim.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running
speed authorised.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original
tyre size Maximum

link size.
215/60 R16 9 mm
215/55 R17
225/45 R18
225/40 R19
cannot be fitted with chains
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

vehicle and can vary according to
equipment.
Do not use them for any other
purposes.
The jack must only be used to change
a wheel with a damaged or punctured
tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with this vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original
jack, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to obtain the correct
jack for it.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/CE.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.

part.
If your vehicle has an electric parking brake
,
the jack is stowed in a bag placed in the boot.
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel , detach the
trim first using the wheelbrace 1 pulling
at the valve passage hole.
When refitting the wheel , refit the trim
starting by placing its notch facing the
valve and press around its edge with
the palm of your hand.

The spare wheel is installed in the boot under
the floor.
Depending on version, the spare wheel may be
a standard size steel or alloy wheel; for some
countries of sale it is the "space saver" type.
Access to the spare wheel
If your vehicle has an electric parking
brake, only a "space saver" type of
wheel can be stowed in the boot.F

Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is centred under the
contact area of the vehicle. Other wise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or the jack dropping - Risk of injury! F
E xtend the jack 2 until its head comes into
contact with the jacking point A or B used;
the contact area A or B on the vehicle must
be engaged with the central part of the
head of the jack.
