2014 Citroen C1 oil pressure

9
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...). 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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter 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,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
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.

cartridge by the roadside, take it to
a CITROËN
dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Don't forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
F S tart the compressor by placing the switch
at the " I" position and leave it running until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bar.

Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be:
- b etween the " FULL" or "F" and
" LOW " or "L" marks for VTi 68
and e-VTi 68 engines,
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. -
