Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle.
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.
