Driving safely

35
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe 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 bythe manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rdcut-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.

Range
(miles or km)This indicates the distancewhich can still be travelled with the fuelremaining in the tank in relation to the average
fuel consumption over the last few miles(kilometres) travelled.
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).

Current fuelconsumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption during the last few seconds.


Average fuel consumption
(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).

Checks


Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Oil filter
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicing booklet and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The batter
y does not require anymaintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctl
y tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following itsreconnection. Re
fer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for these components.
Depending on the environment(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary(refer to the "Engines" section). y A clogged passenger compar tment filter mayhave an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Re
place the oil filter each timethe engine oil is changed.
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter val for
this component.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacingor disconnecting the battery.
