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 Â
(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:
-
Â
b
efore  a  long  journey,
-
Â
a
t  each  change  of  season,
-
Â
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, Â
p
assenger  compartment  filter...)  and  observe  the  schedule  of Â
o
perations  recommended  in  the  maintenance  and  warranty  guide.
When
 refuelling,  do  not  continue  after  the  third  cut-off  of  the  nozzle  to Â
a
void  any  over flow.
At
 the  wheel  of  your  new  vehicle,  it  is  only  after  the  first  1  800  miles Â
(
3 000  kilometres)  that  you  will  see  the  fuel  consumption  settle  down  to Â
a
 consistent  average.

The TRC and DSC systems offer increased  safety  in  normal  driving,  but Â
s
hould  not  encourage  the  driver  to  take Â
e
xtra  risks  or  drive  at  high  speed.
The correct operation of these
systems
 depends  on  observation  of Â
t
he
 ma
nufacturer's
 r
ecommendations
 r
egarding  the  wheels  (tyres  and  rims), Â
t
he  braking  components,  the  electronic Â
c
omponents  and  the  assembly  and Â
r

d
ealers.
After
 an  impact,  have  the  system Â
c
hecked  by  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â

orkshop.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which  is  bogged  down,  stuck  in  snow,  on  soft Â
g
round...),  it  may  be  advisable  to  deactivate  the Â
D
SC  and  TRC  systems,  so  that  the  wheels  can Â
s
pin  freely  and  regain  grip.
