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:
-
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...) and
observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid 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.

Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Door(s) open /
Electric opening
boot lid open fixed if the speed is
below 6 mph (10
km/h).A door or the electric opening boot is
still open. Close the door or boot.
fixed and accompanied
by an audible signal
if the speed is above
6
mph (10 km/h).
Low fuel level
fixed. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

Under-inflation detection
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

Identification markings
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.
T
his number is engraved on the bodywork
near the passenger compartment filter. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures introduces the risk
of a burst tyre and also increase fuel
consumption.
B.
V
ehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
T
his number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen. C. M
anufacturer's label. T
he VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the lower right hand centre
pillar.
D.
T
yre/paint label.
T
his label is affixed to the driver's side
centre pillar. It bears the following information:
-
t
he tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,
-
t
he tyre sizes,
-
t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-
t
he paint colour code.
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
