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 refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter,
passenger compartment fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended in the maintenance and
warranty guide. When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised
emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specifi c warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which
automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres
while driving.
The system
continuously monitors
the pressures of the four tyres, as soon
as the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly. This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

READY TO GO
The alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinfl ated, repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver
type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely
on just a visual check.
The alert is given by the fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message. The fl ashing and then
fi xed illumination of the
under-infl ation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.
- Reduce speed, avoid sudden
steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
- Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (according to
equipment),
or
- if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
- if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed. This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fi tted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with
a sensor, refi tted.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the brake
and STOP warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
fi rmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal fi rmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that these are
recommended by CITROËN. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Deactivating the ASR/DSC
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
DSC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip. Operating check
Good practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fi tting and repair
procedures within the CITROËN
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Operation of the ASR and DSC
systems
The LED fl ashes when the
ASR or DSC is triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.
- Press the button or turn the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-
The warning lamp comes on: the ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into play.
- manually by pressing the button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
5
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power. Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible. Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear of
the vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

Changing a wheel
144
The temporary tyre repair kit consists
of a compressor and a bottle
(containing a sealant).
Using the kit
1. Tick the defl ated wheel on the speed limitation sticker then affi x
the sticker to the vehicle's steering
wheel to remind you that a wheel is
in temporary use.
2. Clip the bottle 1 on the
compressor 2 .
3. Connect the bottle 1 to the valve of
the tyre to be repaired.
4. Take care to unwind the compressor pipe before connecting
it to the bottle.
5. Connect the power lead to one of the vehicle's 12V sockets.
6. Switch on the compressor by pressing button A until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars. If this
pressure cannot be reached, the
tyre cannot be repaired.
7. Remove and store the compressor.
8. Drive immediately, for a few miles (kilometres), at reduced speed,
to fi ll the puncture.
9. Adjust the pressure using the compressor in accordance with the
recommendation for the vehicle and
check that the leak is fi lled correctly
(no further loss of pressure).
10. Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h]). The tyre must be
examined and repaired by a
specialist as soon as possible. After use, the bottle can be stored in
a plastic bag, supplied in the kit, to
avoid staining your vehicle with traces
of fl uid.
Warning: the bottle of gel contains
ethylene-glycol, a product which
is harmful if swallowed and which
causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
After use, do not discard the bottle into
the environment, take it to a CITROËN
dealer or to an specialised waste
disposal site.
Replacement bottles of sealant are
available from CITROËN dealers.
PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The kit is located in one of the two
storage compartments located under
the front seats.
Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...).
