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.

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via t
he grille located at the base of the windscreen or
f
rom the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the
d
river:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger
c
ompartment (air intake),
-
p
assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-
p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
c
onditioning).
The
temperature control enables you to obtain
t
he level of comfort required by mixing the air of
t
he various circuits.
The
air distribution control enables you to
d
iffuse the air in the passenger compartment
c
ombining several air vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce
the speed of the ventilation blower.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A on the centre
console.
Depending on the model, the
f
unctions offered are:
-
t
he level of comfort required,
-
a
ir flow,
-
a
ir distribution,
-
d
emisting-defrosting,
-
m
anual or digital air conditioning controls.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very
h
igh, first ventilate the passenger
c
ompartment for a few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high
e
nough to quickly change the air in the
p
assenger
c
ompartment.
The
air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
a
ny danger to the ozone layer.

when

a
ccompanied by a message in the multifunction
sc

As
soon as the traffic conditions permit,
r
egenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at

oes off.
If
the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a

on a n

regeneration operations may be
a
ccompanied by a "burning" smell,
w
hich is per fectly normal.
Following
prolonged operation of the
v
ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
y
ou may, in exceptional circumstances,
n
otice the emission of water vapour at
t

n
ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
the environment.
When
carrying

section
for
details
of
the
p
recautions
to
be
taken
before

and
following

reconnection.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty a tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city d
riving),
r
eplace them twice as often if necessar y .
A
