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, trailer...).
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, cabin filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR has a fault your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to bring the levels of nitrous oxide
emissions back into line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle
to avoid any overflow.
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.

To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-
never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

everse gear
Raise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
GEAr EFFIcIEncY I nd I c AtO r
Depending on the engine or version, this
system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.

Adjust the reach of the steering wheel, then
lock the mechanism by pushing the lever
fully forwards.
Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the
form of the SHIF
t indicator,
accompanied by an upward arrow
to signal to the driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking,
...).
Switching off
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
As a safety measure, these operations
must not be carried out while driving.

Do not cover the rain sensor, located
at the top centre of the windscreen.
Screenwash and headlamp wash
Pull the wiper control stalk towards you,
the screenwash is accompanied by a timed
operation of the wipers.
Depending on version, the headlamp wash is
coupled with the screenwash, it is triggered if
the dipped beam headlamps are on.
Windscreen wipers
Wiping is only active when the ignition key is
in the runn I n G position.
The control stalk has five different
positions:
Wipers off.
Intermittent wiping: 1 notch downwards.
In this position, four wiping frequencies
can be selected by turning
the ring:
-
very slow frequency
-
slow frequency
-
standard frequency

Automatic rain sensitive windscreen
wipers
If your vehicle is fitted with this system, the
wiping speed is adapted automatically to the
intensity of the rainfall.
Automatic wiping: 1 notch downwards. This is
confirmed by one wipe. Must be reactivated
each time the ignition is switched on.
In this position, the sensitivity of the rain
sensor can be increased by turning the ring.
Good practice
Check that the windscreen wiper blades can
operate freely when using the wipers in icy
weather.
Use the step in the front bumper, to remove
any accumulation of snow at the base of the
windscreen and on the blades.You can change the wiper blades.
Refer to the "Quick help - Worn wiper

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system,
this warning lamp comes on.
Good practice
Driving with the suspension set too high or
too low risks damaging components under
the body.
The height may be adjusted automatically to
take account of changes of temperature or
loading.
You must avoid using this control in the
following circumstances:
-
when working underneath the vehicle,
-
when changing a wheel,
-
when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
To avoid damaging the vehicle or injuring
anyone, check that there is nothing or no
person that might be close to or come into
contact with the vehicle, before raising or
lowering the suspension.
Above 3 mph (5 km/h), the system
reactivates automatically.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
