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 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.
d
on't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have
your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter,
air
filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the
schedule
of operations recommended in the maintenance
and
warranty guide.
With
a Blue HDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is
faulty
your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop without delay to have the
emissions
of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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.

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment,
there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or
vertically (up or down). For your
comfort
while driving, do not close

Do
not block the vents located at the

dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits odours.
Ensure
that this filter is in good
condition
and have all of the filter
elements
replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior
temperature
remains high after a
prolonged
period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment
for a few minutes.
Use
the
AUT
O mode as much as
possible
as it permits optimised
control
of all of the functions: air flow,
passenger
compartment comfort
temperature,
air distribution, air
intake
mode or air recirculation in the
passenger
compartment.
Operate
the air conditioning system for
5
to
10
minutes,
once
or
twice
a
month,
to
keep it in good working order.
If
the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility

The
comfort
programme
(AUTO)
may
not
be
sufficient
to
quickly
demist
or
defrost
the
windows
(humidity,

In this case, select the visibility

The

It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow
and
provides
optimum
distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side
windows.
It
deactivates
the
air
recirculation. It
is normal that the condensation
created
by the air conditioning system
results
in a flow of water which may
form
a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.

To assure respect for the environment and conformity with the new Euro 6
emissions
standard, without adversely
af
fecting the performance or fuel
consumption
of Diesel engines,
CITROËN
has taken the decision to
equip
its vehicles with an effective
system
that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle
filter
(FAP) for the treatment of exhaust
gases.
Presentation of the Scr system
Using an additive called adBlue®
containing urea, a catalytic converter
turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides
(
no
x) into nitrogen and water, which
are
harmless
to
health
and
the
environment.
The
a
dBlue
® additive is held in a
special
tank
located under the boot
at
the
rear
of the vehicle. It has a
capacity
of
17 litres: this provides a
driving
range of about 12 500 miles
(20
000 km), after which an alert
is triggered warning you when the
reserve
remaining is enough for just
1
500
miles
(2 400 km).
d
uring each scheduled service of
your vehicle by a CITR
o Ë n dealer
or
a
qualified workshop, the
AdBlue®
additive
tank
is
refilled
in
order
to
allow
normal
operation
of
the
SCR
system.
If
the
estimated
mileage
between
two services is greater than
12 500 miles
(20
000
km),
we
recommend
that
you
go
to
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
to
have
the
necessary
top-up
carried
out.
o
nce the a dBlue
® tank is empty, a
system
required by regulations
prevents
starting
of the engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
from
your
vehicle will no
longer
meet
the
Euro
6 standard: you
vehicle
becomes
polluting.
In
the
event
of
a
confirmed fault
with
the
SCR
system,
you must go
to
a
CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified
workshop
as
soon
as
possible: after
a
running
distance
of
650 miles
(1
100
km),
a
system
will be triggered
automatically
to
prevent engine
starting.
