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 Â
rear
 seats.
Limit
 the  loads  carried  in  the  vehicle  and  reduce  wind Â
resistance
 (roof  bars,  roof  rack,  bicycle  carrier,  trailer...). Â
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 Â
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:
-
Â
before
 a  long  journey,
-
at each change of season,
-
Â
after
 a  long  period  out  of  use.
d
on't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have
 your  vehicle  serviced  regularly  (engine  oil,  oil  filter, Â
air
 filter,  passenger  compartment  filter...)  and  observe  the Â
schedule
 of  operations  recommended  in  the  maintenance Â
and
 warranty  guide.
With
 a  Blue  HDi  Diesel  engine,  if  the  SCR  system  is Â
faulty
 your  vehicle  becomes  polluting;  go  to  a  CITROËN Â
dealer
 or  a  qualified  workshop  without  delay  to  have  the Â
emissions
 of  nitrous  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 Â
1
 800  miles  (3  000  kilometres)  that  you  will  see  the  fuel Â
consumption
 settle  down  to  a  consistent  average.

Each time the vehicle is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a self-test check. They go  off  almost  immediately.

The ABS and  EBFD  (electronic  brake  force

 and  manoeuvrability  of  your Â
vehicle
 on  braking,  in  particular  on Â

nc E SYS t EM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum  braking  pressure  to  be Â
reached
 more  quickly,  press  the  pedal Â
firmly
 without  releasing  it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake
 pedal  is  activated.
This
 alters  the  resistance  of  the  brake Â
pedal
 under  your  foot.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency
 braking  assistance  system: Â
keep
 your  foot  on  the  brake  pedal.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation  automatically  when Â
there
 is  a  risk  of  wheel  lock.  It  does  not Â
reduce
 the  braking  distance.
o
n very slippery surfaces (ice, oil,
etc...)
 the Â
ABS
 may  increase  the Â
braking
 distance.  When  braking  in Â
an
 emergency,  do  not  hesitate  to Â
press
 the  brake  pedal  firmly,  without Â
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to
 continue  to  manoeuvre  the  vehicle Â
to
 avoid  an  obstacle.
Normal
 operation  of  the Â
ABS
 may  be Â
felt
 by  slight  vibration  of  the  brake Â
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and
 rims),  ensure  that  these  are Â
recommended
 by  CITROËN. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer
 or  a  qualified  workshop.

cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
 you  risk  seriously  damaging Â
your
 engine.
When
 the  engine  is  warm,  the Â
temperature
 of  the  coolant  is  controlled Â
by
 the  engine  fan. Â
As
 this  fan  can Â
operate
 with  the  ignition  key  removed Â
and
 because  the  cooling  system  is Â
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying
 out  any  work.
Slacken
 the  cap  by  1/4  of  a  turn  to Â
release the pressure to prevent any
risk
 of  scalding.  When  the  pressure Â
has
 dropped,  remove  the  cap  and  top Â
up
 the  level  with  coolant.
If
 fluid  has  to  be  added  frequently, Â
this
 indicates  a  fault  which  must  be Â
checked
 by  a  CITROËN  dealer  as Â
soon
 as  possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground with  the  engine  cold.  Unscrew Â
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check
 the  level  which  must  be  between Â
the
 MIN  and  MAX  marks. In
 order  to  regenerate  the  filter,  you  are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
 40  mph  (60  km/h)  for  at  least  five  minutes
 as  soon  as  possible,  when Â
traffic
 conditions  permit  (until  the Â
