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 resist-
ance (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
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 regu-
larly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...)
and observe the schedule of oper-
ations recommended by the manu-
facturer.When refuelling, do not continue
after the 3rd 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.

INSTRUMENT PANEL
MAINTENANCE INDICATOR
It informs you when the next routine service is duein accordance with the vehicle servicing schedule in the Main-
tenance Guide. This information is dependent on two parameters: themileage covered, and the time elapsed sincethe last visit.
Operation
From switching on the ignition
and for a few seconds, thespan-
ner symbolising maintenanceoperations lights up; the instru-ment panel tells you the distanceremaining to the next service.
Example:there remain up to thenext service:
A few seconds after this, the engine
oil level indicator is displayed, then
the total mileage recorder resumesits normal role. The instrumentpanel gives the total and tripmileages.
Operation if the distance tothe next service is less than1 000 km (600 miles)
Each time you switch on the ignition
and for 5 seconds, the spanner and
th
e distance fl ash.
Example: there remain up to the
next service: 500 km (300 miles). On switching on the ignition and for 5 seconds, the instrument panel
indicates:
A few seconds after this, the engine oil level indicator is displayed, then
the total mileage recorder resumes its normal role and the mainte-
nance symbol remains lit up.
This is a warnin
g to you that a service must be carried out at the earliest opportunity.
The instrument panel
gives the
total and trip mileages.
Operation if the service
interval has been passed
Each time you switch on the igni-
tion, the maintenance symbol andthe distance covered (preceded
by a minus) beyond the recom-mended interval fl ash.
Example:Yo u have exceededthe service interval by 300 km(180 miles).
The routine service on your vehi-cle needs to be carried as soon aspossible.
A few seconds after switchingon the ignition, the total mile-
age recorder resumes its normalrole and the maintenance symbolremains lit up.

Maintenance intervals
If you use your vehicle in particu-larly diffi cult conditions, it is essen-
tialto use the service schedule for "severe conditions" comprisingshorter intervals between services.See "Maintenance and WarrantyGuide".
Reset to zero
It is reset by your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop after eachservice. However, if you do your
own servicing, the procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:1. Switch off the ignition.2. Press on button A and keep it pressed.3. Switch on the ignition.4. Keep buttonA pressed down until the screen indicates"=0"
and the maintenance symboldisappears.
Note:If the maximum time between two oil changes is reached before the mileage has been covered, the mainte-nance spanner lights up and the instrument panel indicates "0".

Display
When the driver's door is opened or
the vehicle is unlocked with the remote control, for around 30 seconds there is
display of the mileage recorders and sometimes the maintenance spanner.

With a long press on the zero
reset buttonA, the trip mileage dis-
played resets to zero.
FUEL GAUGE

ble signal, there remains around8 litresof fuel in the tank.
When the second-to-last bar dis-
appears, you still have approx. 5 lof fuel.
REV COUNTER

SPEED-SENSITIVE REAR SPOILER(DEFLECTOR)
The Piloted Defl ector enhancesthe aerodynamics and the brakingof your vehicle.
AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT
Two deployment stages are pos-sible:The fi rst deployment stageis from around 65 km/h (40 mph). This is maintained
as long as the speed remainsabove approx.25 km/h (16 mph); below this speed,
the Piloted Defl ector retracts completely.
The second deployment stageis from around 125 km/h (78 mph). This is maintained
as long as the speed remainsabove approx.105 km/h (65 mph); below this speed,
the Piloted Defl ector returns
to the fi rst) deployment
stage.

MAINTENANCE
For any maintenance that may be
necessary on your Piloted Defl ec-
tor (leaves or other components jammed), deploy it in the mainte-
nance position: Switch off the igni-
tion then within one minute action
the wiper stalk. Your Piloted Defl ec-
tor deploys.
Next, to retract it, start then drive at over 10 km/h (6 mph).Note: The maintenance position makes the wipers stand up verti-cally. See "Wash/wipe".
ACCESSORIESIt is recommended to place thePiloted Defl ector in the mainte-nance position before installingan accessory on the boot (for example a bicycle-carrier).
Installation of accessories on
the vehicle (roof bars, roof box,
bicycle-carrier, etc.) limits theeffectiveness of the Piloted Defl ector.
Note:Depending on engine-type,certain versions are equipped witha fi xed defl ector.

If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure system, make sure that thePiloted Defl ector is closed.
