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.

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT



)
When stationary
, pull the con-
trol lever to release the adjustment
mechanism.

)
Adjust the height and reach to suit
your driving position.

)
Push the control lever to lock the
adjustment mechanism.
As a safety precaution, these
operations should only be car-
ried out while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.

Adjustable mirror providing a central
rearward view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system,
which darkens the mirror glass: this re-
duces the nuisance to the driver caused
by the headlamps from following vehi-
cles, low sun...

Adjustment


)
Adjust the mirror so that the glass is di-
rected correctly in the "day" position.


Day/night position


)
Pull the lever to change to the "night"
anti-dazzle position.

)
Push the lever to change to the normal

Automatic day/night model
By means of a sensor, which measures
the light from the rear of the vehicle, this
system automatically and progressively
changes between the day and night
uses.

In order to ensure optimum vis-
ibility during your manoeuvres,
the mirror lightens automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.


As a safety measure, the mirrors
should be adjusted to reduce the
"blind spot".

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure.

Operating fault In either case, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
anti-lock braking system which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and
ABS
warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.


When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they
conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the
stopping distance.

Activation

It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCECALL

This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
CITROËN service.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio and tele-
matics" section.
