fuel pressure Citroen C3 PICASSO RHD 2016 1.G Owner's Manual

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 manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel 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.

Eco-driving

Low fuel levelfixed. 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) or
48 litres (Diesel); depending on version: approximately
30 litres (petrol or Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.
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 CITROËN 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 CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Monitoring

108
Horn
F Press one of the spokes of the steering wheel. Audible warning to alert other road users to an
imminent danger.
Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.The system monitors the pressures in 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 need for vigilance
on the part 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.
For more information on the
identification markings, refer to the
corresponding 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.
Safety

130
Gear efficiency indicator*
Operation
The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending 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:
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear. -

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- T he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate. 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.
* Depending on engine. -

Y
ou are in third gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.

Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and, depending on equipment, the display of a message.
 Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive steering movements and sudden braking.  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not always cause visible bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the system is reinitialised.
 In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (depending on equipment), or  if you have a compressor, such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the pressures of the four tyres when cold, or  if it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
