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
b
ars, 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,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
b
ecomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
w
ithout delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
t
he legal level.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void 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.

Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine
i
s running. To maintain a comfortable
t
emperature in the passenger
c
ompartment, you can temporarily
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system (see
t
he corresponding section).
In

Thanks
to
its

switching

the

increases
the
available

and
so
improves
the

conditioning
results in a discharge
o
f water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
t
he interior temperature is very
h
igh, first ventilate the passenger
c
ompartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
e
nough to quickly change the air in the
p
assenger
c
ompartment.
The air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

t
he profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching
t
he lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
a
utomatically or maintains the gear selected
u
ntil the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down a
utomatically to provide efficient engine b
raking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox
will not change to a higher gear for
s
afety reasons.
When
the engine is running at idle, with
t
he brakes released, if position R
, D or
M is selected, the vehicle moves even

Maintenance
In the event of a malfunction with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes,
t
hen comes on continuously.
Ha
ve it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
Operating fault
This system requires a specific battery with a special specification and technology (reference
n
umbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop).
Fitting
a battery not listed by
C
ITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction of
t
he system.Before
doing anything under the
b
onnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
r
esulting from automatic operation of
S
TART mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use
o
f advanced technology. All work on
t
his type of battery must be done only
b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.
In
the
event
of
a
fault
in
STOP
mode,
the
v
ehicle
may
stall.
All
of
the
instrument
p
anel
warning
lamps
come
on.
Depending
on
version,
an
alert
m
essage
may
also
be
displayed
asking
y
ou
to
put
the
gear
lever
into
position
N
and
put
your
foot
on
the
brake
pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition,
then
restart
the
engine
using
t
he
key
or
the
"START/STOP"
button.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically a t every new start using the key or the
"
START/STOP" button.
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The
system is active again; this is confirmed
b
y
the
switch warning lamp going off and the
d
isplay of a message.

Checks
Particle filter (Diesel)
- fixed illumination of the particle f
ilter warning lamp, accompanied
b
y an audible signal and a
m
essage that there is a risk of
b
lockage of the particle filter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the
Stop
&
Start
system,
indicates
the
use
of
a s
pecific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology
and
specification.
The
involvement
o
f
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
i
s
essential
when
replacing
or
disconnecting
t
he
battery. As
soon
as the traffic conditions permit,
r
egenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
l
east
40
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
g
oes
off.
If
the
warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"
Additive
level" section.
Unless
other wise
indicated,
check
these
components
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer's
service
schedule
and according to your engine.
Other wise,
have
them
checked
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement
intervals for these
c
omponents.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine oil is changed.
Refer
to the manufacturer's
s
ervice schedule for details of
the
replacement interval for this
c
omponent.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever, check that the terminals are clean a
nd correctly tightened, particularly in summer
a
nd winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions
to be taken before disconnecting
t
he battery and following its reconnection.Depending
on the environment (e.g. dusty a
tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A
clogged passenger compartment filter may
h
ave an adverse effect on the per formance
o
f the air conditioning system and generate
u
ndesirable
o
dours.The start of saturation of the particle filter is
indicated
by:
on a n
ew vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration
of the particle filter may be
a
ccompanied by the smell of "burning",
w
hich is per fectly normal.
Following
prolonged operation of the
v
ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you
may, in exceptional circumstances,
n
otice the emission of water vapour at
t
he exhaust on acceleration. This does
n
ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
the environment.
