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 nitrogen 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.

Switching on
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "CRUISE"
position to select cruise control mode; the
function is paused.
F

T
o start the cruise control and set a cruise
speed, once the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, press button 2 or 3 : the
current speed of your vehicle becomes the
cruise speed setting.
Y

ou can release the accelerator pedal. F

P
ressing button 4 interrupts operation of
the system (pause).
F
P
ressing button 4 again restores operation
of the cruise control (ON). Take care: pressing and holding
button
2 or 3 results in a rapid change
in the speed of your vehicle.
Modifying the cruise speed
setting
The cruise control must be active.
To modify the cruise speed setting from the
current speed of the vehicle:
F

i
n steps of + or - 1 mph (km/h), make
repeated short presses on button 2 or 3 ,
F

c
ontinuously, in steps of + or - 5 mph
(km/h), press and hold button 2 or 3 .
To modify the cruise speed setting using the
speed suggested by the speed limit recognition
system:
F

t
he speed suggested is displayed in the
instrument panel,
F

m
ake a first press on button 5 ; a message
is displayed to confirm the memorisation
request,
F

p
ress button 5 again to save the suggested
speed.
This value is then displayed in the instrument
panel as the new cruise speed setting.

Driving

186
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.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 conditions
(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.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
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. Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done 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, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

Procedure for changing a wheel with a punctured tyre for the spare wheel using the tools provided with the vehicle.
For more information on To w i n g, refer to the
corresponding section.
The jack must only be used to change a
wheel with a damaged tyre.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.
The jack conforms to European
legislation, such as defined in the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE.

In the event of a breakdown

225
F Place the foot of the jack 2 on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the
front
A or rear B jacking point provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed. F
E xtend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B used; the
vehicle’s contact sur face at A or B must engage with the central part of the head of the jack.
F

R
aise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the
spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack might slip or drop - Risk of
injury!
Take care to position the jack only at one of the vehicle’s jacking points A or B under the vehicle,
ensuring that the contact sur face of the vehicle’s jacking point is centred on the head of the jack.
Other wise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or that the jack might drop - Risk of injury!
