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.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
 
T
o   obtain   an   even   air   distribution,   take   care   not   to   obstruct   the   exterior   air   intake   grilles  
l

ocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as
  the   air   extractor   located   in   the   boot.
F
 
D
o   not   cover   the   sunshine   sensor,   located   on   the   dashboard;   this   is   used   for   regulation  
o

f   the   air   conditioning   system.
F
 
O
perate   the   air   conditioning   system   for   at   least   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month  
t

o   keep   it   in   per fect   working   order.
F
 
E
nsure   that   the   passenger   compartment   filter   is   in   good   condition   and   have   the   filter  
e

lements   replaced   regularly.
 W

e   recommend   the   use   of   a   combined   passenger   compartment   filter.   Thanks   to   its  
s

pecial active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants
  and   the   cleanliness   of   the   passenger   compartment   (reduction   of   allergic  
s

ymptoms,   bad   odours   and   greasy   deposits).
F
 
T
o   ensure   correct   operation   of   the   air   conditioning   system,   you   are   also   advised   to   have  
i

t   checked   regularly   as   recommended   in   the   maintenance   and   warranty   guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  i nterior  t emperature  i s  v ery  h igh,  f irst  
v

entilate   the   passenger   compartment   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
any
  danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning
  results   in   a   discharge  
o

f water under the vehicle which is
per fectly
  normal.
When
 
towing
 
the
 
maximum
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
steep
 
gradient
 
in
 
high
 
temperatures,
 
switching
 
off
 
the
 
a

ir
 
conditioning
 
increases
 
the
 
available
 
engine
 
power
 
and
 
so
 
improves
 
the
 
towing
 
ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning s ystems   only   work   when   the   engine   is  
r

unning.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in
  the   passenger   compartment,   you   can  
t

emporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer
  to   the   corresponding   section.

a

utomatically,   check   that   the   front   doors  
a

re   correctly   closed. Never leave children unsupervised in
the
  vehicle   when   the   engine   is   running.

o

peration   with   the   engine   running,  
a
pply  
t

he   parking   brake   and   select   position   P. Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is at a complete stop with the
brake
 a

pplied.
When
  you   want   to   engage   reverse,  
t

o   avoid   jolts,   do   not   accelerate  
i

mmediately   after   engaging   R.
Changing

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However,  check   that   the   terminals  
a

re   clean   and   correctly   tightened,  
p

articularly   in   summer   and   winter.Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine   oil   is   changed.
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's  
s

ervice schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery
  with   special   technology   and
 s

pecification.
 T

he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop   is   essential   when
 r

eplacing   or   disconnecting   the   battery.
Unless
  other wise   indicated,   check   these   components   in   accordance   with   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule   and   according   to   your   engine.
Other wise,   have   them   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Depending   on   the   environment   (e.g.   dusty  
a

tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city   driving),   replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A   clogged   passenger   compartment   filter   may  
h

ave an adverse effect on the per formance
of   the   air   conditioning   system   and   generate  u
ndesirable o dours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter
  is   indicated   by   the   fixed  
i

llumination   of   this   warning   lamp  
a

ccompanied   by   a   warning   message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate
  the   filter   by   driving   at   a  
s

peed   of   at   least   40   mph   (60   km/h)   until  
t

he
 
warning   lamp   goes   off.
If
 
the   warning   lamp   stays   on,   this  
i

ndicates   a   low   additive   level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular,
  refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter
  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,
you
  may,   in   exceptional   circumstances,  
n

otice the emission of water vapour at
the
 
exhaust   on   acceleration.   This   does  
n

ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
 
the   environment.
When
 
carrying
 
out
 
work
 
on
 
the
 
battery,
 
refer
 
t

o the " 12 V batter y " section for details of the
precautions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
before
 
disconnecting
 
t

he
 
battery
 
and
 
following
 
its
 
reconnection.

Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case o

f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to   have
 t

he   condition   of   the   brakes   checked,
 e

ven   between   vehicle   services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality
 an
d
 sp
ecification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking
  system,   CITROËN   selects   and  
o

ffers   very   specific   products.
After
  washing   the   vehicle,   dampness,  
o

r in wintry conditions, ice can form
on
  the   brake   discs   and   pads:   braking  
e

fficiency   may   be   reduced.   Make   light  
b

rake   applications   to   dry   and   defrost  
t

he   brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the " Electric
parking brake - Operating faults "
  section.
This system does not require any
routine
  servicing.   However,   in   the  
e

vent of a problem, have the system
checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule   for   the   checking   interval   for  
t

his
 c
omponent.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule for details of the level
checking
  interval   for   this   component.
To
  avoid   damaging   the   electrical   units,
