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, 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 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.

If your vehicle is not fitted with an
alarm, locking is confirmed by the fixed
illumination of the direction indicators
for about two seconds.
According to version, the door mirrors
fold at the same time.
If one of the openings (doors or boot) is
still open, the central locking does not
take place.
When the vehicle is locked, if it is
unlocked inadvertently, it will lock itself
again automatically after about thirty
seconds unless a door is opened.
And if your vehicle has an alarm, this
will be reactivated (with volumetric
monitoring, even if this had been
deactivated).
The folding and unfolding of the door
mirrors by the remote control can be
deactivated by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving with the doors locked may
render access for the emergency
services difficult in an emergency.
As a safety measure (children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking your remote control, even for a
short period. Ensure that no person or object might
prevent the correct closing of the
windows.
