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.
