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...). Preferably use a roof
box.
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, etc.) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 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.

Recommendations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor located in the back free
from obstructions.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F

T
o ensure the correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the maintenance and
warranty guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold
air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability. If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t , ,
refer to the corresponding section.

The vehicle moves off immediately. If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle
then select position D before accelerating.
If the temperature is below -23°C, the
engine should be left at idle for four
minutes, to ensure the correct operation
and life of the engine and gearbox.

F Press the brake pedal when this
indicator light is displayed in the
instrument panel (e.g.: starting
the engine).
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R, D or
M is selected, the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
When the engine is running, never leave
children in the vehicle without supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P .

Advice on care and
maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
maintenance and warranty guide.
Roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the
roof, it is essential to use the transverse bars
listed for your vehicle.
When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. The points are
masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
You must attach the roof bars only at the four
anchorage points located at the edge of the
roof.
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied with the
bars.Maximum authorised weight on the roof
bars: 75 kg
.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the mountings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects that are longer than
the vehicle.

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's
service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
12 V battery
For more information and the precautions to
take before starting work on the 12 V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section. The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections
are clean.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
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
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning light
goes off.
If the warning light stays on, this indicates a low
additive level; refer to “Diesel additive level”
section. or
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning light
accompanied by a warning message
in the screen (if a display screen is
fitted).
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Practical information

147
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval
for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval
for this component.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units
as important as those in the braking
system,
CITROËN selects and offers very
specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
