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, 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 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.
With a
b
l
ueH
di
d
i
esel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
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.

Warning/indicator lampis on Cause Action / Observations
Maximum coolant
temperature fixed.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITR
oËn

dealer or
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Low fuel level
fixed. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol),
46
litres (Diesel) or 37 litres (LPG); depending on
version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or
d
i
esel).
ne

ver continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

Water in Diesel fixed. The Diesel fuel filter contains water. Risk of damage to the injection system on
d

engines.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Particle
emissions filter
(Diesel) fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal.
This indicates that the particle
emissions filter is starting to become
saturated. As soon as driving conditions allow, regenerate the
filter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h)
until the warning lamp goes off (see the "Checks
-
Particle emissions filter" section).
fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal. This indicates the low level of the
additive reservoir. Have the reservoir topped up as soon as possible by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop (see the
"Checks -
a
d
ditive level" section).
Under-inflation fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal and
a message. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low.
Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
You must reinitialise the system after the adjustment
of one or more tyre pressures and after changing one
or more wheels.
For more information, refer to the "Under-inflation
detection" section.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures on the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

Gear shift indicator*
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the performance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear,
-

e
ngaging a lower gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
dep

ending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
* d
ep
ending on engine.With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear.

Identification markings
B. Vehicle identification number on the dashboard.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen. C. Manufacturer's label.
The VI
n

is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the left hand centre pillar. It bears the following information:
-
t
he tyre pressures, laden and unladen,
-
t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating for the tyre),
-
t
he tyre pressure for the spare wheel,
-
t
he paint colour code.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
A.

V
ehicle identification number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the passenger compartment filter. Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
D. Tyre/paint label.
