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 refi t 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.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...)
and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Changing a wheel
CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
As far as possible, park the vehicle on level,
stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear (on a hill).
It is imperative that you ensure that the
occupants get out of the vehicle and wait in
a safe location.
If possible, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Tools
The tools required are stored in a tool kit
located behind the driver's seat (Light van)
or behind the rear bench seat (Combi).
1.
Wheelbrace.
2.
Centring guide.
3.
Screwdriver.
4.
Jack with handle.
5.
Removable towing eye.
The jack and all of the tools are specific
to your vehicle. Do not use them for other
purposes.
Never go underneath the vehicle when it is
raised only by the jack; use an axle stand.
Taking out the spare wheel
The spare wheel retaining bolt is located on
the rear left part of the loading sill.
1.
Slacken the wheel retaining bolt using the
wheelbrace.
2.
Unscrew fully to unwind the winch cable.
3.
Take out the spare wheel using the
wheelbrace.
4.

Snow chains
SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Advice on installation
If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.
Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have been
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging
your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It
is recommended that before you leave, you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain
or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
