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   manufacturer's   service   schedule.
With
  a   BlueHDi   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.

Service indicator
System that informs the driver when the next   service   is   due,   in   accordance   with   the  
ma

nufacturer's
 ser
vice
 s
chedule.
The point at which the service is due
is
  calculated   from   the   last   service  
i

ndicator zero reset,   according   to   the   distance  
c

overed   and   the   time   elapsed   since   the   last  
ser

vice.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the level of
deterioration
  of   the   engine   oil   may   also   be  
t

aken   into   account,   depending   on   the   country  
o

f   sale.
More than 1800 miles (3000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears   in   the   instrument   panel   central   screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on,   the   spanner   symbolising   the   service o

perations   comes   on.   The   distance   recorder
 d

isplay   line   or   a   specific   message   in   the

For example:

efore   the   next   service   is   due.
For
  a   few   seconds   after   the   ignition   is   switched

n,   the   screen   indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560   miles   (900   km)   remain   before  t
he   next   service   is   due.
For
  a   few   seconds   after   the   ignition   is   switched  
o

n,   the   screen   indicates:
A
 
few
 
seconds
 
after
 
the
 
ignition

switched
 
on,
 
t

he spanner goes off ;
 
the

The
 
screen
 
then

and
 
trip
 
distances. A
  few   seconds   after   the   ignition   is   switched
