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  
b

ars,   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,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
With
  a   Blue   HDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   is   faulty   your   vehicle  
b

ecomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop  
w

ithout   delay   to   have   the   emissions   of   nitrous   oxides   brought   back   to  
t

he   legal   level.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   cut-off   of   the   nozzle   to  
a

void   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.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the maintenance and warranty guide. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f   a   level   drops   significantly,   have   the   corresponding   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between two   services   (or   oil   changes).   CITROËN  
r

ecommends   that   you   check   the   level,   and   top  
u

p   if   necessary,   every   3   000   miles   (5   000   kms).
The
  check   is   carried   out   either   when  
t

he   ignition   is   switched   on   using   the  
o

il   level   indicator   in   the   instrument  
p

anel for vehicles with an electric oil
level   gauge,   or   using   the   dipstick.
To   ensure   that   the   reading   is   correct,  
y

our   vehicle   must   be   parked   on   a   level  
s

ur face   with   the   engine   having   been   off  
f

or   more   than   30   minutes.
Take   care   when   working   under   the  
b

onnet,   as   certain   areas   of   the   engine  
m

ay   be   extremely   hot   (risk   of   burns)  
a

nd   the   cooling   fan   could   start   at   any  
t

ime   (even   with   the   ignition   off).

you
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,
