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
b
ars, 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,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations in the personalised servicing schedule for your vehicle.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system develops a fault,
y
our vehicle becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought
w
ithin the limits set by the directive.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void 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.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line
with the recommendations on the
t
yre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the
system has been done with the
p
ressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This
is
given
by
fixed
illumination
of
t
his
warning
lamp,
accompanied
by
a
n
audible
signal
and
the
display
of
a
m
essage.
It
is
necessary to reinitialise the system every
t
ime
one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
a
nd
after changing one or more wheels.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
U se only the chains designed to be fitted to the
t
ype of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

Cannot be fitted with chains
For more information on snow chains, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a j
ourney, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
o
n the side of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any
w
heel chocks to prevent movement of your
v
ehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
p
rovided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
m
oments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
c
hains are correctly tightened.
Take
account
of
the
legislation
in
force
i
n your country on the use of snow
chains
and
the
maximum
running
speed
a
uthorised.
The
snow
chains
must
be
fitted
only
t
o
the
front
wheels.
They
must
never
b
e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Avoid
driving with snow chains on roads
t
hat have been cleared of snow, to
avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
t
he road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
w
ith alloy wheels, check that no part of
t
he chain or its fixings is in contact with
t
he wheel rim.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
before
y
ou
leave,
you
practise
fitting
the
snow
c
hains
on
a
level
and
dry

Under these conditions, the additive can be
kept
for
at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has
completely thawed out. Before
topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is p
arked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C.
O
