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.

)
press the INFO
button several times
in succession until the service indi-
cator is displayed.
)

Service overdue
O
peration
When the ignition is switched on, you
must press the INFO
button several
times in succession until the service
indicator is displayed. The distance
recorder display line indicates the
number of miles (kilometres) remaining
and the time elapsed line indicates the
number of months remaining before the
next service is due.
After a certain distance and a certain
time, the display of "---"
is reinitialised
and the display indicates the time
remaining before the next service is
due. System which informs the driver when
the next service is due in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
The point at which the next service is
due is calculated from the last service
indicator zero reset.
It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled (in miles (km)),
- the time elapsed since the last ser-
vice (in months).
The distance remaining to be travelled
may be weighted by the time factor,
depending on the user's driving habits.
Example:
the display indicates that
7 300 miles (kilometres) remain before
the next service is due.
The symbol "--"
remains displayed
until the fi rst service of a new vehicle
has been carried out.
Example:
the display indicates that the
service is overdue. This service must
be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop. Each time the ignition is switched on,
the display "PERIODIC INSPECTION"
is displayed for a few seconds to
indicate that the service must be carried
out without delay.
