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,
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.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of t
his warning lamp, accompanied by
a
n audible signal and, depending on
e
quipment, the display of a message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time
one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
a
nd after changing one or more wheels.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive
steering movements and sudden
b
raking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to
do
so. F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare
w
heel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in
the temporary puncture repair kit, check
t
he pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
i
mmediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
cause visible bulging of the tyre.
D
o
not satisfy yourself with just a visual
c
heck. The alert is maintained until the system
is
r
einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
sn
ow
c
hains.
Before
reinitialising the system, ensure
t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Use
only chains designed to be fitted the type

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he snow chains must be fitted only
to
the front wheels. They must never
b
e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a j
ourney, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
o
n the side of the road.
F
A

w
heel chocks to prevent movement of your

m
oments, without exceeding 30 mph
(
50 km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
c
hains are correctly tightened.
Take
account
of
the
legislation
in
force
i
n your country on the use of snow
chains
and
the
maximum
running
speed
a
uthorised. Avoid
driving with snow chains on roads
t
hat have been cleared of snow, to
avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
t
he road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
w
ith alloy wheels, check that no part of
t
he chain or its fixings is in contact with
t
he wheel rim.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
before

Fitting the "space-saver"
spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it
i
s normal to notice that the washers
do not come into contact with the
"space-saver"
spare wheel. The wheel
i
s secured by the conical sur face of
each
bolt.
After changing a wheel
To correctly store the punctured wheel
in the boot ( not in the location for the
space-saver wheel ), first remove the
central
cover.
When
using the "space-saver" type
s
pare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(
80 km/h).
Have
the tightening of the bolts and the
p
ressure of the spare wheel checked
b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
