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.
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
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 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 filter, air filter...) 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
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 to a consistent
average.

Instruments and controls
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- F (Full):
the fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the warning lamp comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 11 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
125 litres) are available as an option.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between
C (Cold) and H (Hot):
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
- wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:
the cooling system is pressurised. In
order to avoid any risk of scalding,
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone, or if the warning lamp
comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The
fan may continue to operate for a certain
time up to approximately 10 minutes.
EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of
any malfunction of this emission
control system by the lighting of
this specifi c warning lamp on the
instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
