tyre Citroen C1 2012 1.G Owner's Manual

18
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, ...). Use a roof box inpreference.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 aper ture, 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.


Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by themanufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

49 Safety





Emergency braking
assistance


In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure morequickly and therefore reduce the stoppingdistance.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an increase in
the effectiveness of the braking.
*
The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on
vehicles which are not fitted with ASR/ESP
systems.














Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
braking systems (EBFD and CSC * )
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and
CSC *
braking systems, increases the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on brakingand provides improved control, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems provide fullcontrol of the braking pressure wheel by wheel.A distribution between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the
EBFD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of theCSC * (Cornering Stability Control).


When changing wheels (tyres), make
sure that these are approved.

The anti-lock braking system comesinto operation automatically when thereis a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS, which could cause a loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

When these warning lampscome on simultaneously, it
indicates that there is a fault
with the braking system or that the parking
brake has not been released fully, which cancause a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, pressvery firmly without releasing thepressure.

VSC
50Safety














Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and electronic
stability programme (ESP)


Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
s
ystems
When one of these two systems is
operating, this warning lamp comes on.
If a fault occurs with the s
ystems, this
warning lamp comes on.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have thesystems checked.
These systems are linked and supplement the
ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine. It also allows
the directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on theengine to put the vehicle back on course, within
the limits of the laws of physics.
The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety during normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive athigh speed. Correct operation of these systemsdepends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims), thebraking components and the electronic components as well as the repair procedures use by a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop.
After an impact, have these systemschecked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.

65 Practical information
)As far as possible, immobilise the vehicle
on level, stable, non-slippery ground. )Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear or reverse
for the manual gearbox, position Nfor theelectronic gearbox. The followin
g tools are installed in a carrier,
located in the centre of the spare wheel:
1
. Wheelbrace 2.Jack with handle 3.Removable towing eye

Access to the spare wheel and
the jack in the boot
) Remove the carpet then the plastic cover using the handle.



Tyre pressures

These are indicated on the label positioned on the inner pillar of the left door, see
"Identification markings".



























Changing a wheel
)
If necessary, chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel to be changed.) You must ensure that the occupants leave
the vehicle and wait in a safe location.

The label Caffixed to the pillar, near the left
door striker, indicates:


- the t
yre sizes,

- the t
yre pressures.
The tyre pressures must be checkedwhen cold, at least once a month.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this increases fuel consumption.
