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.

MONITORING


Warning lamp



is on



Cause



Action/Observations






Maximum
coolant
temperature


fi xed red. 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 qualifi ed workshop.




Engine oil
pressure


fi xed. 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 qualifi ed workshop.




Battery
charge


fi xed. 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 qualifi ed workshop.




Low fuel level


fi xed. When it fi rst 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 suffi cient addition
of fuel is made.

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
(petrol) or 46 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.

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


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 with-
out engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when over-
taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.


- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

*
According to engine.
The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

TECHNICAL DATA
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are cold,
at least once a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the body-
work near the passenger compartment
fi lter.
B. Vehicle identifi cation number on
the dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through
the windscreen.

C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affi xed to the left hand centre pillar.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the left hand
centre pillar.
It bears the following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and
laden conditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by
the manufacturer,

- the spare tyre infl ation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
Wheels which are fi tted with
205/45 R17 tyres cannot be
fi tted with snow chains. For more
