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,   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:
-
 
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,   passenger  
compartment

  filter...)   and   observe   the  
schedule of operations recommended
in

  the   manufacturer's   service   schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the
SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop   without  
delay to have the emissions of nitrogen
oxides

  brought   back   to   the   legal   level.When refuelling, do not continue after
the third 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.

Carbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be  carried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust.
 
This
  water   vapour   does   not  
have any adverse ef

fect on vehicle
handling
  or   the   environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your  battery   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to  
check

  the   thickness   of   the   pads,   even  
between

  services.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   on   the   circuit,   a  
drop

  in   the   brake   fluid   level   indicates  
that

  the   brake   pads   are   worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc  /   drum   wear,   contact   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
  of   the   system,   the   parking
 brake

  should   be   adjusted,   even   between
 services.
Have

  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN
 dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing  schedule.
An
 
access
 
flap
 
allows
 
replacement
 
of
 
the

 
filters.
The
 
carbon
 
filter
 
permits
 
continuous
 
and

 
effective
 
filtering
 
of
 
dust.
If
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
 
becomes

 
blocked,
 
this
 
may
 
reduce
 
the
 performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
W
e recommend the use of a combined
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter.
 
By
 
means of its second special active
filter

,
 
it
 
contributes
 
to
 
the
 
purification
 
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy

 
deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet
 
for
 
the
 
replacement
 
interval
 
for
 
these

 
components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...)
  and   the   use   of   the  
vehicle

  (urban   driving...),   change   them  
twice

  as   often   if   necessary.
