Guide-me-home lighting
After the ignition has been switched off, the headlamps remain on briefly to make your
exit from the vehicle easier when the light is poor.
ASR and DSC systems
These systems are linked to assure the
directional stability of the vehicle, within the
limits of the laws of physics.
Glass panoramic sunroof
This roof provides incomparable visibility and
light in the passenger compartment.
Rear parking sensors / Reversing camera
These two systems warn you if an obstacle is detected behind the vehicle
when reversing.114
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine
temporarily into standby
during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, etc....). The
engine restarts automatically
as soon as you want to move
off. The Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and the
noise level when stationary.

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:
-
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.
With a
b
l
ue H
di
d
i
esel 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 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.
