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,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid 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.

Recommendations on care of your vehicle
The general recommendations on the care of your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Fabric roof
To avoid damaging the roof.
- n ever use a high pressure jet wash,
-

n
ever wash your vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash. Remove bird droppings or tree resins as
their acidity may damage the roof. Never use chemical products,
detergents, stain removers, solvents,
alcohol, petrol,
... to clean the roof.
We recommend that you clean the
aero-acoustic defector with care using
a soft brush.
Before washing the fabric roof, first
remove as much dirt as possible from
the sur face using a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
To waterproof the roof, use only special
waterproofing products for fabric roofs.
To remove marks, sponge them
(but never rub them) using soapy water,
then immediately rinse with clean water.
Allow the vehicle to dry in a shaded
area and avoid direct exposure to
the sun. For the regular maintenance of the
fabric roof and to conserve its original
appearance, we recommend an
ecological "Fly remover - Fabric roof
cleaner" from the "TECHNATURE"
range. To obtain this product go to a
CITROËN dealer.

This system requires a 12 V battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the system.
For charging, use a 12 V charger and do not
reverse the polarity.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
advanced technology. For any work on
the system go to a qualified workshop
with the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
