Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle andreduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, ...). 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.
Don't forget the spare wheel.


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


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

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

The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not presentany danger to the ozone layer.


Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains very high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes. For an even air distribution, make sure thatyou do not block the outside air inlet grille, the vents, the air passages and the air outlets to the footwells.Ensure that the passenger compartmentfilter, located below the windscreen, in the engine compartment, is in good condition. Have the filter elements replaced regularly.If you drive in dusty conditions, changethem twice as often.Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keepit in perfect working order. In order to ensure that your air conditioning system continues to operate correctly, youare advised to have it checked regularly.The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a flow of water under the vehicle when stationary which isperfectly normal.If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
