Limit the causes of excess
consumption
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 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Driver request detection:
The vehicle outline indicates the
wheel(s) which is/are not monitored.
)
The message is accompanied
by illumination of the SERVICE
warning lamp and an audible
beep. have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. The defl ation detection system is a
driving aid, but which does not ab-
solve the driver from the need to be
vigilant and responsible.
This system does not dispense
with the requirement to check
the tyres on a regular basis (see
"Identifi cation markings") to ensure
optimum vehicle behaviour and to
avoid premature tyre wear under
certain conditions (high load, high
speed).
Do not forget to check the tyre
pressure of the spare wheel .
Any repair or replacement of a tyre
on a wheel that is equipped with
a sensor must be carried out by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The system may suffer from tem-
porary interference caused by
electro-magnetic transmissions on
frequencies close to that use by
the system .
)
If you have fi tted wheels that
are not equipped with tyre defl a-
tion detection (wheels with snow
tyres, etc.), contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Wheel for temporary use
Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolt contact surfac-
es are clean and in good condition.
Fitting a wheel
)
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
)
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.
)
Lower the jack and remove it.
)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
)
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.
)
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.
)
Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-
rect and have the balancing
checked.
Under-inflation detection
These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. Repairs must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Security bolts (according to
version)
Each wheel is equipped with one se-
curity bolt.
To remove it:
)
Remove the protector using tool 3
.
)
Use the security socket with the
wheelbrace.
If your vehicle is fi tted with a
spare wheel of a different size
to those on the vehicle, you
must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the security bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment security bolt socket from your
dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:
- it will be maintained for 5 minutes
with radio-CD hands-free kit,
-
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes
with the MyWay audio-navigation
system,
- you can complete your call with
the NaviDrive system.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-matically next time the vehicle is
driven.
)
In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately, start
the engine and let it run for a few
minutes.
The time available will then be dou-
ble the duration for which the en-
gine was left running. However, this
time will always be between fi ve and
thirty minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle
towed or for towing another vehicle
using a removable towing eye.
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the
jack box placed in the spare wheel.
For access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
raise the fl oor,
)
remove the towing eye from the
jack box.
