.Familiarisation

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
bars, 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:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and
obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid 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.

Monitoring
When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.






Range


When the engine is
running
, this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
based on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a large variation in the
current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect. Therefore,
you must fill the tank whenever
possible.










Coolant temperature
gauge
If the bar is close to the critical
position located
on the right, the temperature is too high.
The symbol flashes when your engine is
overheating.


You must stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.


Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.

When the range is less than 30 miles (50 km)
,
dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display of the
range is updated.

Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level. The cooling system
is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level,
if necessary.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

When you disconnect the battery,
the previous fuel consumption data
is lost and the value displayed will be
different from that displayed before the
battery was disconnected. The distance
displayed must be considered an
approximate indication.

Driving











Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.


Operation


*
According to engine.
The symbol appears in the
instrument panel suggesting that you
change up.
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the per formance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.

The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear recommendations should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification and tracing of your vehicle.



A.
Manufacturer's plate.

It is riveted to the right hand middle pillar
and carries the following information:


- manufacturer,

- EU type approval number,

- vehicle identification number (VIN),

- gross vehicle weight,

- gross train weight,

- maximum front axle weight,

- maximum rear axle weight.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.

If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases fuel consumption.

B.
Ty r e l a b e l .

This label is affixed to the the driver's
side middle pillar and carries the following
information:


- tyre sizes,

- tyre pressures.
C.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper support.
