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.

Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt,

started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Maximum

The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping-
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop.

Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top-up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of the coolant is
regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait
at least one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding in the event of an urgent need
to top-up, with a cloth around the cap, unscrew it by two
turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top-up the level.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top-up the level.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. It is normal to top-up this fluid between
services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
To p p i n g - u p
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
