Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items at the back 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, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
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.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule. When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle’s nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.

As a precaution, it is recommended
that you select a cruise speed close to
the current speed of your vehicle, so
as to avoid any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the vehicle.
The selection also applies to the stopping
distance (versions with EAT8 automatic
gearbox).
Exceeding the programmed
setting
It is possible to exceed the speed setting
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control no longer manages the
braking system during this period.
Simply release the accelerator pedal to return
to the programmed speed.
If the programmed speed setting is exceeded,
the display of the speed setting disappears
and a message "Cruise control suspended"
is displayed until the accelerator pedal is
released.

The RDS, if activated, enables you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in
certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station
may not be assured throughout the entire
country as radio stations do not cover 100% of
the territory. This explains the loss of reception
of the station during a journey.
Short procedure
In "Radio " mode, press the OK button to
activate or deactivate RDS directly.
Long procedure
Press the MENU button.
Select " Audio functions ".
Press OK.
Select the " FM waveband
preferences " function.
Press OK. Select "
Frequency tracking
(RDS) ".
Press OK , RDS is displayed on the
screen.
Playing TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement)
function gives priority to TA alert
messages. To operate, this function
needs good reception of a radio station
that broadcasts this type of message.
When a traffic report is transmitted, the
current audio source (Radio, CD, etc.)
is interrupted automatically to play the
TA message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end
of the message.
Take care when increasing the volume
while listening to TA messages. The
volume may prove too high on return to
the original audio source.
Press the TA button to activate or
deactivate traffic messages.
Playing INFO messages
The INFO function gives priority to TA
alert messages. To be active, this function
needs good reception of a radio station
that transmits this type of message. When
a message is transmitted, the current
audio source (Radio, CD, USB, etc.) is
interrupted automatically to receive the
INFO message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end
of the message.
