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 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

COMFORT
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior
air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles,
the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the
boot.
)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is
used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system.
)
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.
)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the servicing
booklet.
)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and
so improves the towing ability.
If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature
is very high, fi rst ventilate the
passenger compartment for a
few moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a set-
ting high enough to quickly
change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger to
the ozone layer.
The condensation created by
the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.

ACCESS
ALARM
System which protects and provides a
deterrent against the theft of your vehi-
cle. It provides two types of protection,
exterior and interior, as well as a self-
protection function.
Exterior perimeter protection
The system detects opening of the ve-
hicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to
enter the vehicle by forcing a door, the
boot or the bonnet.
Interior volumetric protection
The system detects any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks
a window or moves inside the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle
or a window partially open, deactivate
the interior volumetric protection.
Self-protection function
The system detects the putting out of
service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to put the wires of the siren, the central
control or the battery out of service.
Do not make any modifi cations
to the alarm system, this could
cause malfunctions.

tivated, 5 seconds after the locking but-
ton on the remote control is pressed.
The interior volumetric protection is acti-
vated, 45 seconds after the locking button
on the remote control is pressed. If an opening - door or boot - is

protection.
