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 is
r
unning.
To
maintain a comfortable temperature
i
n the passenger compartment, you can
t
emporarily deactivate the Stop & Start

results in a discharge

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

c
ompartment.
The air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
m
ode, without any intervention on the part
o
f the driver. It continuously selects the most
s
uitable gear according to the style of driving, t
he profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For
maximum acceleration without touching
t
he selector, 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 effective 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

lockage of the particle filter.
The presence of this label, in particular with

12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever, check that the terminals are clean a

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
