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 nitrogen 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.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
For
more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically to avoid the
a
udible signal if a genuine CITROËN
t
owbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
t
he engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
e
ngine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer and the headlamp beam
h
eight of your vehicle.
For
more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
o
r more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
p
articularly under arduous conditions
(
high loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
For
more information on the
I
dentification markings, refer to the
corresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.

This is given by fixed illumination of t

I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary

or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
i
n 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
s
peed.
The
loss of pressure detected does not
a
lways cause visible bulging of the tyre.
D
o
not satisfy yourself with just a visual

heck. The
alert is maintained until the system
i
s

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
l
ine with the recommendations on the
t
yre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
b
e relied on if the reinitialisation of
t
he system has been done with the
p
ressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
d
oes not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP and ABS warning
l
amps, accompanied by an audible signal
a
nd a message, it indicates that there
i
s a fault with the electronic brake force
di
stribution
(
EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp indicates that there is a fault
w
ith the ABS. Depending
on version, your vehicle has a s
ystem to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control .
This
system detects situations of difficult
s
ur face grip that could make it difficult to move
o
ff or make progress on deep fresh snow or
c
ompacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control
limits the amount of wheel spin to
p
rovide the best traction and trajectory control
f
or your vehicle.
The
use of snow tyres is strongly
r
ecommended on sur faces offering low levels
o
f adhesion.
When
changing wheels (tyres and
r
ims), ensure that these are approved
f
or your vehicle.
Normal
operation of the ABS may make
i
tself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
ped
al.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
both
cases, have the system checked by a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop as
s
oon
as
possible.
The
vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
c
arefully
at moderate speed.
