Limit the causes of excess consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;place the heaviest items in the bottomof the boot, as close as possible to therear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicleand reduce wind resistance (roof bars,roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Usea roof box in preference.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snowtyres and refi t your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,when cold, referring to the label in thedoor aperture, driver's side.

Carry out this check in particular:



- before a long journey,


- at each change of season,


- after a long period out of use.

Don't forget the spare wheel and thetyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle serviced regularly(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-serve the schedule of operations rec-ommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoidany overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)that you will see the fuel consumption set-tle down to a consistent average.

CHECKING LEVELS
Brake fluid level
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine oil between
services. The manufacturer recommends
that the oil level be checked, and topped up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.


Coolant level

The coolant level must be mea-
sured when the engine is cold
and should be between the
"LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

Check the fl uid level regularly,
using the gauge.

*
According to country.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

Changing the coolant fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.

Power steering fluid level

Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.

Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).
