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.

Group of supplementary systems which help you   to   obtain   optimum   braking   in   complete  
s

afety   in   emergency   situations:
-
 
a
nti-lock   braking   system   (ABS),
-
 
e
lectronic   brake   force   distribution   (EBFD),
-
 
e
mergency   braking   assistance   (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability   of   your   vehicle   when   braking,   in p

articular   on   poor   or   slippery   sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation   automatically   when   there   is   a   risk   of  
w

heel   lock.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make   itself  
f

elt   by   slight   vibration   of   the   brake   pedal.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message   in   the   screen,   it  
i

ndicates   a   malfunction   of   the   anti-
lock
  braking   system   which   could  
r

esult in loss of control of the vehicle
when
 b

raking.
If
  this   warning   lamp   comes   on,
 t

ogether   with   the   STOP and ABS
warning
  lamps,   accompanied   by   an
 a

udible   signal   and   a   message   in   the
 s

creen,   it   indicates   a   malfunction   of
 t

he   electronic   brake   force   distribution
 w

hich could result in loss of control of
the
  vehicle   when   braking.
Emergency braking
assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to   obtain   the   optimum   braking   pressure   more  
q

uickly,   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
 e

fficiency.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In either case, contact a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
When
 
braking
 
in
 
an
 
emergency,
 
press
 
v

ery
 
firmly
 
without
 
releasing
 
the
 
p

ressure. When
  braking   in   an   emergency,   press  
f

irmly   without   releasing   the   pressure.
When
 
replacing
 
wheels
 
(tyres
 
and
 
r

ims),
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
conform
 
to
 
the
 
ma

nufacturer's
 r

ecommendations.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the p
ressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The
  system   continuously   monitors   the  
p

ressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle
  is   moving.
a

pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each
  tyre   (except   the   spare   wheel).
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   if   a   drop   in  
p

ressure   is   detected   in   one   or   more   tyres.
The
  tyre   under-inflation   detection   system   is   an  
a

id   to   driving   which   does   not   replace   the   need  
f

or   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.This
  system   does   not   avoid   the   need  
t

o   check   the   tyre   pressures   regularly  
(

including   the   spare   wheel)   and   before  
a

  long   journey.
Driving   with   under-inflated   tyres  
a

dversely   affects   road   holding,  
e

xtends   braking   distances   and   causes  
p

remature   tyre   wear,   particularly   under  a
rduous   conditions   (vehicle   loaded,  h
igh   speed,   long   journey).The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be
  found   on   the   tyre   pressure   label   (see  
t

he   "Identification   markings"   section).
The   tyre   pressures   must   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   cold   (vehicle   stopped  
f

or   1   hour   or   after   driving   for   less   then  
6

  miles   (10   km)   at   moderate   speed).  
O

ther wise,   add   0.3   bar   to   the   values  i
ndicated   on   the   label.
Driving   with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

Operating fault
The aler t  is  given  by  the  fixed  illumination o

 e

quipment,   the   display   of   a   message.

F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary   puncture   repair   kit   or   the   spare  
w

heel   (according   to   equipment).
Go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  w
orkshop to   have   the   system   checked   or,  
f

ollowing   the   repair   of   a   puncture,   to   have   the  
o

riginal   wheel,   equipped   with   a   sensor,   refitted.
Any
  tyre   repair   or   replacement   on   a   wheel  
f

itted   with   this   system   must   be   carried   out   by   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
If
  after   changing   a   tyre,   a   wheel   is   not   detected  
b

y   your   vehicle   (fitting   snow   tyres   for   example),  
y

ou   must   have   the   system   reinitialised   by   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always
  lead   to   visible   deformation   of   the  
t

yre.   Do   not   rely   on   just   a   visual   check.This alert is also displayed when one or
more
  wheels   is   not   fitted   with   a   sensor  
(

for   example,   a   space-saver   or   steel  
spar

e
 w
heel).
The   alert   is   maintained   until   the   tyre   or  t
yres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or
  replaced.
The
  spare   wheel   (space-saver   type   or   a  
s

teel   rim)   does   not   have   a   sensor.
