Hybrid system
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 inpreference.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 aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use.

Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
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 settledown to a consistent average.

111Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as wellas the air extractor located in the boot.
)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in perfect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.












Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment. The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories which are not recommended by CITROËN may resultin a failure of your vehicle's electronicsystem and excessive electricalconsumption.
Please note this precaution. You are advised to contact a CITROËNrepresentative to be shown the range of recommended equipment and accessories.


Installation of radio communication transmitters

Before installing any after-market radiocommunication transmitter, you can contact a CITROËN dealer for the specification of transmitters which can be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial position, specific installation requirements), in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/10 4/EC).
Depending on the legislation in force in the country, it may be compulsoryto have a high visibility safety vest,warning triangle and spare bulbs andfuses available in the vehicle.

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.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, for which the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop is required when replacing or
disconnecting the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery.12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals

241Checks





6-speed electronic
gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
Brake wear depends on the st
yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor tdistances. It may be necessary
to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
th
e brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.















Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
