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.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine is
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Ease of use and comfort

144
C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed02-2016
F Check that the symbol displayed in the instrument panel agrees with the position
of the selector.
F

P
rogressively release the brake pedal.
F

I
f the parking brake is released, the vehicle
moves off.
I

f the parking brake is applied and
automatic operation is activated, accelerate
away.
Never press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time. Braking and
acceleration should be done only with
the right foot. Pressing both pedals
together risks damaging the gearbox. If the brake does not release
automatically, check that the front doors
are correctly closed. Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle when the engine is running.
When carrying out a maintenance
operation with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and select position P
.Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is at a complete stop with the
brake applied.
When you want to engage reverse,
to avoid jolts, do not accelerate
immediately after engaging R
.
Changing into position R is
accompanied by an audible signal. Never select position N when driving.
If position N
is engaged in error when
moving, allow the engine to idle, then
engage position D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle,
brakes released, if position R
, D or M is
selected, the vehicle will move even if
the accelerator is not pressed.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery with special technology and
specification.
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "
12 V batter y " section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults " section.
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for details of the level
checking interval for this component.
To avoid damaging the electrical units,
never use a high pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
