Driving tips
Driving tips
Improving fuel economy
The following tips will help you in improving fuel
economy.
–
A
void excessive idling.
–

A
void sudden acceleration.
–

A
void unnecessary deceleration and stopping.
–

Keep steady cruise speed as much as
possible.
Keep the air filter clean
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting in
decreased power output and increased fuel
consumption.
Keep tire pressures correct
Underinflating of the tires can waste fuel due to
increased running resistance of the tires. Keep
your tires inflated to the correct pressure shown
on the label on the driver’s door lock pillar.
Do not use tires other than those
specified by Citroën. Never use different
sizes or types of tires on the front and rear
wheels.
Driving on hills
When climbing steep hills, the vehicle may begin
to slow down and show a lack of power. If this
happens, you should shift to a lower gear so that
the engine will again be operating in its normal
power range
While driving down a hill, never turn off the
vehicle.
Try not to hold the brake pedal down too long
or too often while going down a long hill. This
could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in
reduced braking efficiency.
Use the parking brake when parking your
vehicle and shift the gear shift lever into
the first gear or reverse gear position for the
sake of safety.
Driving on slippery roads
Under wet road conditions, you should drive at
a lower speed than on dry roads due to possible
slippage of tires during braking. When driving on
icy, snow-covered, or muddy roads, reduce your
speed and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
braking, or sharp steering movements.

When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal. When
