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:
- 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 filter, air filter, 
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of 
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle 
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop 
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to 
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to 
avoid 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.
