Limit the causes of excessconsumption

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, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refi t 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:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.



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

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consump-
tion settle down to a consistent average.

CHILD SAFETY

CITROËN recommends
that
children should travel in the rear
seats
of your vehicle:


- "rearwards-facing"
up to
the age of 2,

- "forwards-facing"
over the
age of 2.

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
TO CHILD SEATS

Although one of CITROËN's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:


- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and
a half metres tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to
their weight
, on seats fi tted with a
seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying children
are the rear seats,


- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear.


"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
airbag activated.
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate
.
