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.

y

our   vehicle   becomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   without   delay   to   have   the   emissions   of   nitrous   oxides   brought  
w

ithin   the   limits   set   by   the   directive.

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.

Grip control
Special patented traction control system which improves   traction   on   snow,   mud   and   sand.
This
  system,   the   operation   of   which   has   been  
o

ptimised   for   each   situation,   allows   you   to  
m

anoeuvre   in   most   conditions   of   poor   grip  
(

Associated with all-seasons M+S (Mud and
Snow)
  205/50   R   17   tyres,   this   system   offers  
a

  compromise   between   safety,   adhesion   and  
t

raction.   These   tyres   work   equally   well   in   winter  
a

nd   summer.
A five-position selector allows you to choose
the
  setting   best   suited   to   the   driving   conditions  
en

countered.
An
  indicator   lamp   associated   with   each   mode  
c

omes   on   to   confirm   your   choice.
A specific and additional display appears
temporarily
  in   the   touch   screen   to   confirm   the  
s

election   made   with   the   knob. Every
  time   the   ignition   is   switched   off,  
t

he   system   automatically   resets   to   this  
m

ode.
Differents
  modes   are   provided:
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel s
pin,   based   on   the   different   levels   of   grip  
n

ormally   encountered   on   the   road.
