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...). 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 recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
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.

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in
t
he event of an accident.
Check
that there is no seat belt or seat belt
b
uckle under the child seat as this could
de
stabilise
i
t.
Remember
to fasten the seat belts or the
c
hild seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation
to the child's body to a minimum,
even
for short journeys.
For
the installation of a child seat using a
s
eat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
o
n the child seat and that it is holding the
c
hild seat firmly against the seat of your
v
ehicle. If your front passenger seat is
a
djustable, move it for ward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space
between the front seat and:
-
a
rear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
f
acing child seat.
For
this, move the front seat for ward and if
n
ecessary straighten its backrest.
Recommendations on child seats
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without
t
ouching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes
correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN
recommends the use of a booster
s
eat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
g
uide at shoulder level.
As
a safety precaution, never leave:
-
o
ne or more children alone and
u
nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a
child or an animal in a vehicle which
i
s exposed to the sun, with the windows
c
losed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
To
prevent accidental opening of the doors,
u
se the "Child lock".
Take
care not to open the rear windows by
m
ore than one third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
The
