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...). 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 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,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void any 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.

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
m
ay be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
t
he cooling fan could start at any time
(
even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out with the dipstick, located under
t
he bonnet. For the position of the
d
ipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
v
iew on a previous page.
Checking with dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
To
ensure the accuracy of the reading,
y
our vehicle must be on a level
s
ur face, with the engine off for at least
3
0 minutes.
It
is normal to top up the oil level between
t
wo services (or oil changes). CITROËN
r
ecommends that you check the level, and top
u
p if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km). If
you find that the oil level is above the A mark
o
r below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f engine damage), contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
