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 andreduce 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 andrefit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, whencold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:
- 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 ser viced regularly (engineoil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve theschedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd
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 settledown to a consistent average.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel. Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with the fuelremaining in the tank in relation to the average
fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.
Average fuelconsumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)This is the average speed calculatedsince the last trip computer zero reset(ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip computer zero reset.
Stop & Start timecounter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &Star t, a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey. It resets to zero every time the ignition isswitched on with the key.
This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the ran
ge falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).
Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be travelled
to the final destination. It can be entered bythe user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes are
displayed in place of the digits.
