2013 Citroen C3 PICASSO fuel pressure

.
21

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 refit your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations on
maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label inthe door aperture, 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 and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.


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


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


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

Monitoring

Low fuel level fixed. When it first comes on there remainsapproximately 5 litres offfuel
in the
tank. Yo u m u s t r e
fuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or
48 litres (Diesel); depending on version: approximately
30 litres (petrol or Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection systems.
Warning lampis onCauseAction / Observations
Maximum coolant temperature
fixed red. The temperature of the cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop.
Engine oilpressure
fixed. There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a quali
fied workshop.
Battery charge
fixed. The battery charging circuit has a fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or cut alternator belt, ...). The warnin

Gear effi ciency indicator *


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 instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible 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 accompanied by
the suggested gear.

*
Accordin
g to engine. - You press the accelerator pedal
moderatel
y.
- The s
ystem may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.

In the case of driving which makespar ticular demands on the performance of the engine (firm pressure on theaccelerator pedal, for example, whenover taking...), the system will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear. S
ystem which reduces fuel consumption by
advising the driver to change up on vehicles
fitted with a manual gearbox.

which is visible through the windscreen.
C.Manufacturer's label. This number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the centre pillar,
on the left-hand side.
The inflation pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold,at least once a month.

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

D.Tyre/paint label. This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on the left-hand side.
It bears the followin
g information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and withoutload,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer,
