2012 Citroen C3 PICASSO RHD fuel pressure

21
Limit the causes of excessconsumption

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 refi t 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:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.



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


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consumption
settle down to a consistent average.

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.
In fact, the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain de-
termining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompa-
nied by the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when over-
taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.



* According to engine.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

TECHNICAL DATA
IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi cation of your vehicle.

If the infl ation pressures are too low,
this increases fuel consumption.


The infl ation pressures must
be checked when the tyres are
cold, at least once a month.



A.
Vehicle Identifi cation Number (VIN)
on the front right door pillar.
This number is engraved on the
bodywork near the hinge.
For access to it, open the right-hand
door.
B.
VIN on the windscreen lower
crossmember.

The number is on a self-adhesive

destroying label affi xed to the centre
pillar, on the left-hand side.
D.
Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the centre pil-
lar, on the left-hand side.
It bears the following information:


- the tyre infl ation pressures with and
without load,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by
the manufacturer,

- the infl ation pressure of the spare
wheel,

- the paint colour code.
