2017 Citroen BERLINGO RHD change wheel

17Limit 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 nitrogen
oxides brought back to the legal level. When refuelling, do not continue after
the third 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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one (or more)
gear(s). You can follow this instruction
without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory. This is
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 indications given.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode. The system adapts its gear
change recommendation
according to the driving conditions
(slope, load,
...) and the demands
of the driver (power, acceleration,
braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-

engaging first gear
,
-

engaging reverse gear
.
The information appears
in the instrument panel
in the form of an arrow. It
may be accompanied by a
recommended gear.
System which reduces fuel
consumption by recommending the
most appropriate gear.
