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 CITROËN 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.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus
r
educing
e
ngine
p
erformance.
A
bove 1 000 metres, the maximum towed
l
oad must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 0
00 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
For
more information on weights (and the
t
owed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
t
o the corresponding section.
F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
e
ngine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
o
f your vehicle.
For
more information on adjusting the
h
eadlamp beam height, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature.

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.
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.
For m ore i nformation o n id entification m
arkings, including the tyre pressure
l
abel, refer to the corresponding
s
ection.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.

The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation w
arning lamp accompanied by the
i
llumination of the service warning
l
amp indicates a fault with the system.
Operating fault
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal,
a
nd depending on equipment, the
d
isplay of a message.
Under-inflation alert
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, the symbol or the message appears, according
t
o equipment, to identify it.

this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is

t
emporary puncture repair kit for example),

I
f it is not possible to check the tyre
p
ressures at the time, drive carefully at
r
educed
s
peed.
or
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
t
he tyre.
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.

It
is
designed
to
repair
most

Its
compressor
can
be
used
to
check
and

the
tyre.
The
vehicle's

Do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80
km/h) when driving with a tyre
