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.

Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually.
F
P
ress this button again to
reactivate the system manually.
The button indicator light goes off. These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. For your safety, you should
therefore keep these systems activated at
all times, particularly in poor conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding both the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
and the assembly and repair procedures
used by
CITROËN dealers.
In order to benefit from the efficiency of
these systems in winter conditions, we
recommend using snow tyres.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
