17
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.

at
  very   low   speed   or   at   idle,   you   may,  
in

  exceptional   circumstances,   notice  
the

  emission   of   water   vapour   at   the  
exhaust.

 
This
  water   vapour   does   not

dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to  
check

  the   thickness   of   the   pads,   even  
between

  services.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   on   the   circuit,   a  
drop

  in   the   brake   fluid   level   indicates  
that

  the   brake   pads   are   worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc  /   drum   wear,   contact   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
  of   the   system,   the   parking
 brake

 services.
Have

  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN
 dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance  with   the   manufacturer's  
servicing

  schedule.
An

replacement
 
of
 
the

 
filters.
The
 
carbon
 
filter

continuous
 
and

 
effective
 
filtering
 
of
 
dust.
If
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
 
becomes

 
blocked,
 
this
 
may
 
reduce
 
the
 
performance

 
of
 
the
 
air
 
conditioning
 system
 
and
 
generate
 
unpleasant
 odours.
W

passenger

 
compartment
 
filter.
 
By

its
 
second
 
special
 
active
 
filter

,
 
it
 
contributes
 
to
 
the
 
purification
 
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger

(reduction
 
of
 
allergic
 
symptoms,

 
unpleasant
 
odours
 
and
 
greasy

 
deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet

for
 
these

 
components. Depending
  on   the   environment   (dusty  
atmosphere...)

  and   the   use   of   the  
vehicle

  (urban   driving...),   change   them  
twice

  as   often   if   necessary.
