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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
FITTING ROOF BARS
Maximum authorised weight on
the roof rack: 60 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm,
adapt the speed of the vehicle
to the profi le of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the
fi xings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national leg-
islation in order to comply with
the regulations for transporting
objects which are longer than
the vehicle. To fi t longitudinal and/or transverse roof
bars, visit your CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
