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.
-
 
I
f   the   level   is   below   the   MIN
 
mark,   you  
m

ust   top-up   the   engine   oil.
Refer
  to   the   under-bonnet   view   for   the   location

t

wo   marks   A   and   B.
